French Laundry
If dining destinations had Hollywood Walk of Fame stars, this one would shine the brightest. For over 45 years, Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry has been a top “bucket list” dining destination in Wine Country, where meticulously crafted French cuisine is accompanied by impeccable service and a covet-worthy wine list. The menu changes daily, featuring multiple courses of beautifully presented food that highlights ingredients from local farms and purveyors, including from the restaurant’s own (and very impressive) garden. Dining at The French Laundry isn’t just about the food; it’s a true experience—one that the Michelin team has deemed worthy of Three Stars, over and over again.
Insider Tip
For those of you who follow a plant-based diet, you’ll be happy to know The French Laundry isn’t just a meaty affair. They’ve rolled out the red carpet for veg heads by offering a vegetarian version of their multi-course menu. That’s right, gourmet greens at their grandest! Creative offerings have included such dishes as their “Oyster and Pearls” featuring an onion ragout and poached oyster mushrooms, and garden eggplant parmesan.
