About Bouchon Bistro
In October 1998, four years after his successful debut in Napa Valley with The French Laundry, Chef Thomas Keller introduced Bouchon. Inspired by the traditional bistros Chef Keller encountered while travelling in France, Bouchon lives up to this heritage, offering authentic fare with Kellers unfailing attention to detail in both ingredients and presentation. Bouchon in Beverly Hills is Chef Kellers third Bouchon restaurant, and is located in the vibrant Business Triangle of Beverly Hills. Bouchons seasonal menu and raw bar selections change throughout the year, while staples like roast chicken, leg of lamb, quiche and trout amandine remain as consistent, perennial favorites. The vin de carafe program features selections made exclusively for the restaurant from top wineries in the Central Coast of California. Kellers staff includes Chef de Cuisine Rory Herrmann, General Manager Stephen Cook, Pastry Chef Sharon Wang and Head Sommelier Alex Weil.
