Great French bistro food within a short walk of Harrah's. We had the French onion soup, croque monseur, and chocolate crepe. Everything was delicious! Staff were very friendly and fast. Very quaint and comfortable environment. Highly recommend!!

The former French comfort food, full dining restaurant Bouchon has reopened as Creperie Bouchon. Decor is the same (French cafe style), but the menu and hours have completely changed. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. It's a cozy little cafe but has several tables including 2-3 outside tables tucked away adjacent to the front door (opening onto Lexington). The restaurant is now a creperie/cafe serving crepes (both savory and dessert), light bites, sandwiches, soup and salads. Open for lunch thru early dinner hour. The bar (beer, wine and cocktails) remains. Their sister restaurant, Rendezvous in East Asheville, is open for dinner serving a full French county entree menu. I'm super happy to see this change. We go for a full French country dinner maybe once a year, but we'll go here for French cafe food much more often. We had a Toulouse duck confit crepe. The crepe itself was very tasty -- traditional French street style. The duck confit inside was also very good and was accompanied by some mushrooms, goat cheese and caramelized onions. Not a huge amount of filing, but it fit the crepe and was a good portion given it was served with a side roquette salad. Even the salad was excellent, with a few wonderful grapes, shaved fennel and a great vinaigrette dressing. We also had a Croque Bouchon, which is turkey with brie and bechamel on local sourdough. The bread was brushed with butter and dijon and grilled to get an absolutely perfect "croque" brown crunchy outside. There were a few tart green apple slices pushed into the bread on the outside and so also browned a bit. Nice touch. This was the best croque sandwich I've ever had! The sandwich came with a side of Bouchon's famous frites, often named the best in Asheville. They are still very, very good. Thin cut (French style) fries with great herb seasoning and well-prepared. They are served with a red pepper mayo aioli that is excellent. We had a Kronenbourg 1664 Lager and a Chai spice hard cider from local cidery, Noble. Reasonably priced. We will definitely be coming to this place periodically for lunch or an early light dinner.

Amazing food. Feels like being back home in France! Good service. No complaints. Mmmmmmm

Small, French Bistro styled restaurant. Full bar and varied, primarily French wine list. Service was prompt and friendly. The PEI mussels were excellent. We also tried the Pomme Frites which came with a marvelous aioli , and the Panne et Beurre, with Garlic confit. The only downside was the white wine, a really good French Sancerre was not really cold when served.

The partner and I were visiting Asheville and stopped by this place for dinner! I wasn't too hungry, so I wasn't able to eat too much of my dinner which was sad! I got the quiche, which was yummy and the crust (my favorite part) was great. It came with a side salad and frites. My boyfriend got the steak. We also got some bread to start. It was nice ambiance, very chill! Our server was really kind and helpful. I would recommend!

Bouchon French Bistro is a solid spot for French food in the Asheville area. If you're looking for some classic, French bistro fare then Bouchon likely has it. I've never had a bad meal here. In my most recent visit to Bouchon, we had a reservation for the three of us on a Sunday evening for dinner. In fact, I recommend making a reservation if you're planning to dine here as Bouchon gets busy. Even for a Sunday, nearly every table was taken. The place is dark and romantic, but bustling and lively. As mentioned previously, Bouchon has classic, French plates that are timeless. From French onion soup to start with, to steak frites for your main, and profiteroles for dessert, there's something you're likely familiar with if you've had French food before. Plus, the large wine menu, including Bordeaux style reds are something to rave about. I ordered the Canard a L'Orange Chocolate for my entrée and we wanted to start with the escargots, but it never came. We had to remind our server that we ordered escargots, which we later received and was taken off the bill. That was nice. I did enjoy my canard/duck entrée, which was prepared with a rub from cocoa nibs and an orange glaze with broccolini and potato au gratin on the side. The duck was also a good portion, as it was half the size and cooked perfectly. Overall, if you like French food then Bouchon has some traditional dishes that you'll enjoy. Service was a little spotty, but not terrible. It's not my first choice for dining out in Asheville where the competition is fierce, but if I'm visiting on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, then you best believe I'm down for the AYCE moules frites, which yes, I've totally done and definitely got my money's worth.

Excellent food, great service and cute ambiance. Nice selection of apps too! *Escargot- mmm so buttery and flavorful. I didn't know how I would feel with the little puff pastry but all it did was soak up more butter, yumm! *Sourdough bread- a little dry *fries- were crispy and not salty... that's a good thing for me :) *Chicken cordon blue- my husband loved it and said he would definitely get it again. Portobello Tatin- so flavorful and rich We loved the place. We would definitely return!
