Le Bouchon

Best Known For

Twice-cooked beef cheeks a la Bourguignonne with pomme puree, paired with 2016 Francois Arnaud Grande Reserve Shiraz Grenache.

Used in Lyon to refer to bistros that are well-known for authenticity and conviviality, expect something of this nature from Le Bouchon café and bistro on Willoughby Road in Crows Nest. Step into this French-inspired venue and feel immersed in another world, enveloped in the warm smells of freshly baked baguettes and delightful French cuisine; while function guests sneak away to a private events area with a suave fit out. Savour the taste of provincial-style cooking from breakfast through to dinner, stopping in early for plates of smoked salmon Benedict on potato rosti with spinach and tomato Hollandaise. Later visits may have you delving into gnocchi a la Parisienne with zucchini, spinach and capsicum piperade; finishing divinely with sour cherry clafoutis and macadamia ice cream.
