Bouchon is the French word for cork. In the small farming village where the owner, Michel Baudouin, grew up, bouchon also refers to the friendly neighborhood bistro. The bouchons in Michel's hometown were supplied by local farms, and so we continue that tradition here.
His memories of simple, delicious, and comforting dishes shared at home or enjoyed at the local bistros inspired him to recreate that experience here in Asheville.
Thank you for dining with us- and bon appetit, y'all!

The chef was amazing. So helpful to find workarounds for a tomato allergy for one and a gluten allergy for another. Made a tasting menu fun again. Service was a tad haphazard, but I don't think tasting menus are the regular. Everyone was so pleasant it made up for it. Our server even shared her stash of bottled water. What a memorable Christmas. Thank you!

A fantastic experience! I made rez strictly on OT reviews not knowing it was an Indigo Road Hospitality Group property of which I am a huge fan. If you are fortunate enough to land Ace N as your server, trust him on your adventure through the menu. His knowledge of flavors, preparation, and pairings were perfection. Bone marrow Tater Tots, charcoaled carrots, Chef Cut CAB, Tiramisu, Super Tuscan, and Nonino all amazing!!!!

To be upfront, this would have been a 5 star but for the fact that one entree was unacceptable BUT to give the restaurant proper credit they did take the charge off the bill and were very polite about it. Otherwise other meals were great. The Duck was outstanding, the fish special (salmon) was very good, the gnocchi app was 100% and the wagyu beef tarter was exceptional. While the group did not order a bottle of wine the list appears very good to excellent. The red wines by the glass recommended by the server was spot on to what my quest was seeking. Good call. We will return.
