A trip through Yountville would not be complete without an afternoon coffee & dessert stop at Bouchon. My wife is such a fan -- she bought their cookbook to try an duplicate their desserts at home. It's a memorable experience -- especially chocolate ganache

My wife and I had dinner here our first night in Yountville. The place was packed , which is great, but ( like the bakery) Bouchon seemed to be more about the hype of eating there than the quality of the meal and service. I enjoyed my flat iron steak but my wife's gnocchi was not that great. The service... More

Had lunch with my extended family here on our last day in Northern California before we drove back to LA. We didn't have reservations and the place was full, but luckily a party cancelled and the gracious host was able to seat us. We ordered the pork belly, seafood crepe, gnocchi and gruyere mac n cheese for the children. Everything... More

Authentic decor, friendly staff and great food. This is not cheap but it's well worth the money. Ask for a table on the small patio.

The decor was lovely, the staff superb, and the meal was one of best I've had in my long life. The braised lamb shank with an excellent wine has become one of my fondest food moments. The only criticism would be the accoustics. As the restaurant got crowded it also became very noisy. But I would put up with the... More

My husband eats mussels wherever he can and the mussels here were the best he has ever had! Pretty sure angels were singing throughout the whole meal! This place is always packed for a good reason! Thank you Mr. Keller. Now can you just open up something in Tucson? :)

About 3 weeks ago I reserved a table for 5 for lunch at Bouchon last Sunday. It was a friend's birthday and we wanted to celebrate. When we arrive they took us to a table for.....4! It was obvious that it was pretty tight, since there were 2 chairs and the rest of us was supposed to sit in a... More

Let me start by saying that when asked about value my answer is based on the quality of the ingredients which at any of Thomas Keller's restaurants is always top notch and the amount of work that goes into preparing those ingredients no matter how simple it may seem. I have been to Bouchon several times and being a picky... More

We had heard great things about Bouchon ahead of our reservation and the experience was great. The service was excellent with our waitress and her ensemble of attendants taking great care of us. We had onion soup and asparagus soup for appetizers, both were excellent. For the main course, we had mussels and grilled salmon, we would order each again... More
