An enormous new food hall is opening in Los Altos in August, according to Eater. Called State Street Market, the highly anticipated project has a stacked lineup: award-winning chef Traci Des Jardins of San Francisco’s Jardinière, Meichih and Michael Kim of Palo Alto’s Michelin-starred Maum, South Bay ice cream shop Tin Pot Creamery, and Point Reyes cheese shop Cowgirl Creamery.
Jardins’ new spot will be a Cal-Mexican restaurant and speakeasy called El Alto, the first new addition to her empire in a while after a string of closures. The chef’s two Presidio restaurants, the Commissary and Arguello, closed in February, and her Ferry Building Mexican restaurant Mijita closed at the end of 2019.
The Kims’ new restaurant will be called Bǎo Bèi, a casual Korean and Taiwanese-influenced spot. And according to Eater, more big names joining the lineup are still to be announced.
State Street Market is a project from Los Altos Community Investments, a development group headed by none other than Anne Wojcicki, the co-founder and CEO of 23andMe — this is tech country, after all. She tells Eater that her goal is to “create a beautiful community gathering space.”
The massive Peninsula food hall will take up a total of 20,000 square feet, so expect a ton of options, from a dozen small food vendors to various full-on restaurants.
