My husband, I and Pamplemousse absolutely love this gem of a Bistro. We appreciate the classic ambience, beautiful food and wine options... The specials are always amazing. We especially adore the chic owners who take pride in their beautiful establishment. They exude warmth and hospitality. We visit kelowna 6 to 8 times a year and Bouchons is our first meal upon arrival and our Au revoir to kelowna until the next visit. We have travelled extensively. My Husband is half French. We will always count this as one of our favourite experiences.

First off I'm the spouse of Tamara , we did greet you and gave farewells , thanked you for a lovely dinner as always , and you responded with , pure lack of class , and unbecoming of a fine dining restauranter ! Shame on you , give your head a shake , the meal got contaminated , cross or sitting out too long , but apparently if we spent more money you get better food quality and service?? You are truly an awful person , you conduct yourself as petty and ignorant sir Very sad !

This delightful bistro was very near out hotel, and right next to Waterfront Wines. This was my favorite dinner of our trip: classic French fare, lovely outdoor seating, and excellent service from a very funny waitress.
Also great were the traditional Escargot served in crisply little edible cups, and the Seafood Vol au Vent. Very French.

Tucked away in a corner of Kelowna is a tiny piece of perfect Paris. From the minute you arrive, the smells, the music, the French speaking staff, you are transported to all that is good about Paris and French cuisine. We started with Escargot and Foirs Gras, followed by amazing Rabbit and Sable Fish. Every dish melted in your mouth, complemented by wonderful service. If you find yourself in Kelowna, then make it your mission to eat at Bouchons. We hope to return one day.

Absolutely amazing ❤️ My husband and I went to Bouchons Bistro to celebrate my 61st and couldn't have made a better choice. I have a garlic allergy, so eating out is always a risk, but we contacted the restaurant prior to going and let them know. I was made well aware of what dishes were garlic free. I settled on the Seafood Vol au Vent, and my husband had the Crevettes et Noix de Saint Jacques. They were delicious. For dessert, I had Crème Brûlée and my husband had the Fondant au Chocolat. We each had one drink and no appetizer.
We definitely will be coming back to try other dishes ❤️

One of the best French restaurants I've ever eaten at. Our waiter was properly trained and concise.
The Lapin à La Moutarde was cooked perfectly. My wife's Seafood Vol au Vent was fantastic.
Very romantic setting. Proper wine & dessert menu.
On a recent morning walk, I came across a bag of cash on the sidewalk. It had a name written on the outside and, having worked in the industry, I immediately recognized it as a restaurant deposit bag. Inside were receipts clearly showing it belonged to Bouchons Bistro. I returned it right away, expecting at least a sincere thank you.
Instead, I was met with minimal acknowledgment and a surprising lack of gratitude. While I wasn’t looking for a reward, some genuine appreciation would have gone a long way. It’s disheartening when doing the right thing is met with such indifference — especially from a business that’s part of the local community.
Food is excellent. Reminded us of mom's cooking from Quebec service was also excellent. Highly recommend!

We had the most amazing dinner here! We came for a graduation celebration and everything was absolutely fantastic! We started with delicious martinis and appetizers that we all delicious, I highly recommend the escargot and the oysters! Then we had a lovely bottle of French wine with our mains. They brought out some special deserts with sparklers for us to end our evening of celebrating. They really know how to make an evening special!

Great food, excellent service! I think they have the best French onion soup I’ve ever had. The filet mignon was amazing and the lamp was cooked to perfection.

Everything about our dining experience at Bouchon's was nothing short of exceptional. The staff, the food, the atmosphere, everything and everyone were all first class all the way.

Such a beautiful and delightful authentic French cuisine experience. The menu options were all exquisite and cooked to absolute perfection. Chef Stephane and his wife Beatrice are so lovely …. That we came in TWICE while on our visit to Kelowna. And we will DEFINITELY be back! The experience was so incredibly memorable and made our first year anniversary so special. I would recommend this restaurant above all. 10/5 stars from us.
