Bouchon in L.A.: Reviewer Appears to Get It Right
Posted on January 20, 2010
I was happy to find a review in today’s Los Angeles Times Food section of the Thomas Keller bistro in Beverly Hills named Bouchon, the same as the Keller Bouchon I sampled recently in Los Vegas.
Now, I never know if the Times reviewer, who goes by the name of S. Irene Virbila (either spell the S. out or drop it, I say), knows whereof she writes. I’ve been to other restaurants to which she’s awarded three stars and never found the excitement–or culinary accomplishment–she did. However, when she writes of Keller’s “commitment to excellence and unflagging attention to detail,” she’s right on. I sampled that in the basic vinaigrette on my house salad in Vegas. Bouchon is definitely three starsr.
One note about the L.A. location–there’s no Bouchon Bakery there yet, so I doubt you get the same warm baguettes that keep coming to your table as they do in Las Vegas. Still, you can’t go wrong at a Keller restaurant, I’d say.
