Manresa was a restaurant in Los Gatos, California that specialized in California cuisine. It was founded in 2002 by chef David Kinch.[1] The Michelin Guide: San Francisco, Bay Area and Wine Country conferred two Michelin stars on the restaurant in 2007, and upgraded it to three stars in 2016.[2] [3] [4]

A two-alarm fire at Manresa caused substantial damage to the restaurant on July 7, 2014.[5] After extensive work and a complete kitchen rebuild, it re-opened on New Year's Eve, 2014.[6]
