Le Bouchon is a charming and authentic French restaurant, often lively and busy with a dedicated clientele. The family-run establishment is known for its delicious fava bean soup and sublime baked ocean trout en croute. The flavors are rich and flavorful, with some dishes featuring a bit of an American twist, such as the addition of raclette cheese to the hearty Alsatian tart. The restaurant offers a good variety of dishes, including French onion soup, steak frites (manion style), and fish dishes wrapped in pastry. Many customers praise the mussels and steak frites as favorites. The wine list is superb, with half-priced bottles on Monday providing an excellent deal. The atmosphere is pleasant but quite bright and loud, making it less ideal for intimate conversations. Service is professional and attentive, with staff often going out of their way to make guests feel special, such as helping with luggage or offering complimentary champagne. Reservations are recommended well in advance due to its popularity. Overall, Le Bouchon provides a lively, traditional French dining experience with excellent service, memorable dishes, and a reputation for consistently great food and atmosphere.
