The small town of Yountville is often referred to as the "Culinary Capital of the Napa Valley." While the town boasts many fine restaurants, the highest accolades have been given to Chef Thomas Keller and his restaurant, The French Laundry, which is considered one of the finest restaurants in the world. “Chef Thomas Keller's renowned restaurant combines a historic setting — the 1900 building was a saloon, brothel and laundry before becoming a restaurant — with a sophisticated 9-course chef's tasting menu.” (Sunset Magazine) “A culinary institution. Period. A dazzling, whimsical, and playfully serious bastion of California country French cuisine, this restaurant offers a near-religious experience to savvy diners. Heavenly entrees might include pan-seared duck breast with endive ‘marmalade,’ apricot compote, and seared foie gras, or roasted lamb with polenta and caramelized Meyer lemon. For dessert, opt for something fun, like ‘coffee and doughnuts’ – elegant cinnamon-sugar confections with cappuccino semifreddo.” (10 Best Magazine)
