merry christmas!
we had a pre holiday dinner @ Bouchon Bistro in beverly hills.
after we booked tickets back to caLi for the holidays, the very next thing i did was make dining reservations. ( yes, weeks ahead.) Bouchon Bistro in bev hills was my top choice for a relaxed yet upscale foodie dinner. i love dining in beverly hills during the christmas season.. the shoppers, decor all around, LA palm trees with santa’s sleigh over wilshire in the cold air, really brings the holiday spirit to life.
i’m obsessed with bouchon butter. LOVE. i can eat it straight with a spoon. but their crispy baguette is a great vehicle for it. ;)
today’s special starter. escargot in herbed butter topped with puff pastry.
appetizer of bone marrow with grilled toast points. look at the roasted garlic cloves. pure decadence.
frisee salad to start. lemony dressing, with bacon bits and slightly poached egg atop. when all mixed together, the egg makes a great dressing.
i wanted something on the lighter side for dinner, ( especially after the bone marrow) so i ordered the Florentine Quiche as my entree. (an appetizer option on the menu) it was fluffy and light- great crust.
b’s entree of mussels and pomme frites. always a great choice at bouchon.
for dessert. THE “chocolate bouchon,” trio, served with gelato and poached pears.
the service is always great.. this was the first time we dined there with a child in our party, and they were very kid friendly.
bouchon bistro, as usual, great food without fail.
