Shellfish platters, pâté, salt cod beignets, steak frites, steamed mussels, profiteroles, and other bistro basics are on the menu at this authentic-looking French bistro reimagined in the Napa Valley — and the fact that the man behind the place is Thomas Keller means that it’s all very, very good.

USA TODAY Some say no one in the U.S. does a better job with French bistro fare — duck confit, steak frites, bacon and onion quiches, croque-madame and towering plates of chilled, raw shellfish.
nancy try the local water!
Harry O.Transport yourself to Paris - and see if you can't turn on your charm and steal a meal from the maitre'd. Either the one from here or the Laundry.
Jaimie B.Order the truffle fries. To DIE for!
The Daily Meal We all love truffle fries, but if a restaurant like Bouchon can enslave with its poulet rôti you can only imagine the pleasures of other French classics like Boudin Blanc and Coquilles St. Jacques.
Craig C.Outstanding cuisine. I love to graze on just the appetizers.
Honig W.The rabbit/cherry pâté is excellent and Sabrina makes the best Manhattan in town.

Renee N.Lobster risotto - I will dream about this meal!
Neil D.Three words: white apron ale.

Kimberley B.Try the Homard salad paired with a glass of Schramsberg Rose
Kevin M.Have the confit de canard with a poached egg
Zach S.First Bouchon! Cool! NOT. Truffle fries rule, service is some of the worst I've ever had. Mussels? You've got to be kidding me, bro. Cool spot if you're the biggest loser in America. Ugh.
Clarisse The best restaurant in Yountville! The great service and food!
