Parts of the experience would lead one to believe that they were in for a true Parisian dining experience despite the fact that they were in NC. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and affable. The country pate was amazing - the escargot was very disappointing - greasy and devoid of flavor. The entrees were good - would stay away from... More

You can close your eyes and listen to the bustle and smell the incredible aromas and believe you are in a small cafe in Paris ! The food is rustic to the more elegant but it is all truly wonderful and the owner Michael makes sure that you feel right at home in his cafe, it has an open kitchen... More

Readers Digest version: Every part of our experience there was totally off the hook and over the top!! I had 3 varieties of the AYCE mussels and my wife and daughter shared the chicken cordon bleu. WOW!! Every part of both meals was totally outstanding, down to the french fries that were served as a complement to our dishes. And... More

Bouchon is a charming French restaurant with a lot of character. The food is simply perfect. Tough to choose between the offerings. I had beef marrow bones and seafood in puff pastry. PAstry was flaky and teh seafood was blended just right with the sauce Don't miss it

This is one of Asheville's gems. Their special on Monday thru Wednesday of all the mussels you can eat is an Asheville legend.

As longtime Ashevillians we love to go to a restaurant like Buchon; NOT a brewbub atmoshpere and sophisticated food. A bit disappointing tonight however; the poulet au tyme was overcooked and my partner's "beef shoulder tenderloin"(is there really such a cut of meat?) was rather tough. If the food is great one doesn't mind the fact that a restaurant does... More

We went to Bouchon on Monday night for their all you can eat mussel feast. The mussels were as good as any I've had in France. Our table tried three different favors and loved them. The fries were also excellent. We split the mini crème brûlé dessert and enjoyed the raspberry and lavender versions especially. The service was excellent.

My husband and I recently had dinner at your restaurant based on many reviews on Trip Advisor. I have to admit that we were quite disappointed. The best item we shared were the escargo, which were really delicious! The avocado with chopped shrimp and crab sounded great, but I could only taste the tarragon! The trout was okay, if only...
