About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
We are delighted to have added additional outdoor seating but Santa Barbara nights are chilly so bring a sweater or light jacket!

Fresh, local ingredients, prepared with care. Excellent wines that reflect the quality and character of our region and work in concert with the cuisine. Warm, inviting ambiance, service at a relaxed, leisurely pace. Santa Barbara ‘Wine Country Cuisine’ means we source our ingredients using an ‘as-fresh-and-as-local-as-possible’ approach, with fish from the Santa Barbara Channel and produce from the surrounding countryside. We then take into account how these flavors can be presented in concert with our local wines. We believe you’ll taste the difference. Bon Appètit!

    Dining at Bouchon was a delightful experience . From Nicholas, the very knowledgeable and attentive server, to the excellent food and exquisite desserts, we could not have asked for more.

    The outside dining on the street just doesn’t cut it for a high end place. Zero ambiance. The food and service is great, but this Covid holdover dining space has to go. Won’t return until that’s gone

    We had a lovely dining experience at Bouchon. Our server, Dominic was well versed on the menu and gave us impeccable service. Our meals were served hot and plated well and delicious. I would highly recommend Bouchon for a truly fine dining experience! We will come back!

    Despite having reservations for a specific time, we were told to wait outside in the cold for 20 minutes.

    Very limited wine selection, not many French wines available for a French restaurant. We got the French onion soup which was pretty good. The rack of lamb and scallop trio was very average for the price. Overall pricey dinner but we left underwhelmed.

    We were really looking forward to dining here. However, the food was just “okay”. It was nothing out of the ordinary - we expected better.
