Absolutely incredible food and amazing wine list. Our server Claire helped us pick out an off menu Bordeaux when our original selection was out. Definitely get the duck dinner for two!! And the truffle profiteroles were a perfect end to the dinner. I already want to go back!!

Always a treat to our monthly lunches. I love that they add new items regularly and yesterday I had their taco of duck, a nod to Taqueria Chignon’s taco! Loved it! It was just extremely noisy that we had to leave earlier than planned.

If you want to be transported to Hemingway’s Paris, look no further than Le Bouchon. Service is attentive, but gives you space, food is always a 10/10. Steak frites and Chicken were cooked perfectly. Can’t wait to be back.

We had a very nice lunch at Le Bouchon. The French onion soup is outstanding. We also enjoyed the beet salad, steak fries and quiche.
