Menus & Dishes
Bouchon is where the group's technique meets food you actually want to eat twice a week. The menu is a fixed set of French bistro classics, executed with the discipline of the kitchens up the street.

Poulet rôti for two is the benchmark order: brined, roasted, carved and served with the pan juices. Steak frites with maître d'hôtel butter is the other default, and the fries deserve their reputation.
Soupe à l'oignon, moules au safran, quiche and a plateau from the raw bar cover the rest of the canon. Desserts stay classic: profiteroles, crème caramel, tarte aux pommes.
Service runs continuously, so a 3pm lunch between wine tastings is entirely normal and the room is at its calmest. Weekend lunch is the busiest slot of the week.
The bar takes walk-ins and is the fastest route to a table without a booking, particularly for parties of one or two.
