My favorite thing about Bouchon, other than the fact that it's owned by the wonderful Thomas Keller, is its pomme frites. Those little suckers must be laced with crack or something because they are nearly impossible to deny. They really are quite delicious, perfectly crisp pomme frites. Maybe it's just me.
That said, their other notable dishes (from experience) are:
Moules au Safran; Steak Frites; Poulet Roti; and the veal. Their French Onion soup is often-raved about, but I didn't find it that mind-blowing. Maybe it's just me.
Today we had a fixed menu for the special occasion. Take a peek.
Le menu |
Marinated Olives drizzled in olive oil |
Holy moly, get these away from me! So addictive.
Salmon spread w/ crostini |
First time trying this, and I liked it. The taste of salmon was not too fishy, but not too mayo-y either.
Gougeres! |
Little friend of mine, you are always welcome in my belly! You are also what every classic French cheese puff should be: light, creamy, and delicious.
Mixed greens with warm goat cheese, tossed in red wine vinegrette |
The goat cheese - YES!
Squash soup with maple creme fraiche |
Nothing spectacular, especially because it was served lukewarm. (normal?)
Steak Frites |
Although the meat was tender, it was too salty. The butter + grilled onion topping did not help at all.
Moules steamed in white wine, mustard, and saffron |
Always a winner here!
Caramel Flan |
The flan was especially creamy and delicious.
Pot of peanut butter cream with grape jelly & cinnamon toast |
The concept was innovative (PB & J anyone?), but the PB custard was too overpowering.
