Brouchon. Too busy for its own good in Yountville, Napa Valley, California

The seafood platter was decent: 3 years ago it was great. The freshness was undeniable, but I don't think they use the same seafood purveyor they used to.
A delicious and reliable Quiche... but 2 years ago it was like a custard. It is denser than it used to be. It was good, very good, but I wasn't bowled over by it.
The salad was very good and then we went to their bakery next door. Try the chantilly cream eclair: simple yet unbelievable.
Brouchon is always busy, which is great for business, but it has become the place to go if you are a foodie tourist. One day it may become a museum for the French Laundry down the street, or vice-versa.

  1. I completely agree with you. I had the mac and cheesed and it was worse than the one in the MacD.
