Bouchon Bistro in Yountville

Bouchon Bistro is Thomas Keller's take on a classic Parisian bistro, open in Yountville since 1998. Red velvet banquettes, marble tables, brass and a tiled floor set the scene.

The menu sticks to bistro classics. The Michelin Guide, which lists Bouchon as a recommended restaurant, mentions salade Lyonnaise, steak frites, mussels steamed in white wine, boudin blanc and profiteroles.

Bouchon Bakery, right next door, supplies the bread and draws its own morning lines.

A weekend lunch at Bouchon fits neatly between morning tastings in Stags Leap or Oakville and an afternoon appointment. We drop off curbside on Washington Street, so no one has to hunt for parking in Yountville.
