During my day trip to Napa Valley, my friends and I took a lunch break after visiting a couple of wineries. Naturally, we’d heard some great things about Bouchon, so we decided to try it out before continuing our winery stops.
Bouchon is a traditional French bistro offering seafood, steak, sandwiches, and much more amazingly-cooked and painstakingly-prepared food. It also has a separate bakery building with some delicious and fresh bread, which we got to try at the restaurant.
Since it was lunchtime, I didn’t want something too heavy and opted for the Croque Madame, a grilled ham & cheese sandwich on brioche with a fried egg and sauce Mornay served with French fries. You might wonder why I’d go all the way to a French restaurant in Napa for a ham & cheese sandwich, but I have to say, this was one of the best ham & cheese sandwiches that I’ve tasted! The sauce and eggs really made this sandwich special, and the bread was delicious.
What a meal! Satisfied, we headed out to enjoy the rest of our day at Napa.
