  1. Bouchon

    French

    Red velvet booths, marble tables, and polished brass in the middle of wine country: Thomas Keller's French bistro in Yountville plays it straight, no California detours. The menu runs through the classics with conviction, from salade lyonnaise to boudin blanc to profiteroles. The bakery next door draws its own line out the door most mornings. It's the kind of indulgence that doesn't apologize for itself, which, in a town this precious, feels almost radical.
