Bouchon Bistro Miami

Bouchon Bistro is Thomas Keller’s ode to the Parisian bistro right in the heart of Downtown Coral Gables. You may recognize the beautiful historic building as the location of the former La Palma restaurant. Here, you will be transported across the ocean to the buzz of Paris at mealtime. The menu has all your favorite bistro dishes like steak frites, foie, escargot, cheeses, and more, all in a setting that feels all too familiar if you enjoy spending time in the City of Light.

Obviously, this is the place to order a bottle of French wine. Options abound, from all the best regions and less obvious choices as well. Fancy Arbois from Jura or Chasselas from Alsace? Sometimes, it’s hard to resist a bottle of something unique along with traditional Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rhône, or Bandol. But if you’re feeling like something from closer to home, there is a nice selection of California bottles on the list as well. Napa and Sonoma dominate the USA section on this very Franco-American list.
