Bouchon - Santa Barbara

Not to be confused with Chef Thomas Keller's Bouchon bistros, this quintessential Wine Country dining destination melds California and French cuisines with locally endorsed results. Many of the gourmet items on the seasonal menu are matched with a suggested pairing from the restaurant's extensive local wine list. If it's nice out, opt for a table on the inviting year-round garden patio. And if you find yourself in Santa Barbara on a Tuesday evening, accompany Chef Greg Murphy to the city's farmers' market for an informative "foodie stroll" and dinner.
