SingleThread Healdsburg
No.80 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef
Veronica's Take
In the heart of Sonoma Valley's wine country, SingleThread Healdsburg has just clinched the No.80 spot on the World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 list, solidifying its status as a culinary pilgrimage site. Chef Kyle Connaughton, an elite talent with a deep reverence for Japanese cuisine, crafts an ever-evolving tasting menu that draws from the couple's nearby 24-acre farm, meticulously managed by his wife Katina. This farm-to-table operation, guided by the Japanese principle of omotenashi, goes beyond mere hospitality—it's a masterclass in anticipating and exceeding every guest's desires, making a meal here feel like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you're serious about food, this is the move.
