About Le Bouchon

Le Bouchon is a charming and authentic French restaurant, often lively and busy with a dedicated clientele. This 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 lively, and while it can be quite bright and loud, this adds to the charm of the experience, especially during busy hours. The cozy and romantic ambiance makes it perfect for a date night, and reservations are recommended to secure a table since the place gets busy early. Service is professional and attentive, with staff often going out of their way to make guests feel special, such as remembering returning customers and helping with luggage. The menu includes dishes like Fjord Trout en Croute, French Onion Soup, and Maple Crème Brûlée, all beautifully presented. While the space is a bit small, causing some feeling of being cramped, the overall experience offers delicious food and a charming atmosphere. Overall, Le Bouchon provides a vibrant, traditional French dining experience with excellent service, memorable dishes, and a strong reputation for consistently great food and atmosphere, making diners feel as though they are in Paris.
