Thank you, Yelpers for recommending Bouchon. You were right on the mark! Bouchon is an amazing experience and I am so glad we came for breakfast! The restaurant is popular so we had a bit of a wait but we were seated much faster than the time quoted to us.
Once seated, our server was polite and attentive. We drink a lot of water and she did a fabulous job of keeping our water glasses filled. (Seriously, not an easy task--my husband is a camel!) My husband ordered the sourdough waffles with a side of sausage; I ordered the quiche du jour with a side of bacon. Well you certainly won't go hungry at Bouchon! A "side" of sausage meant 3 FAT (and delicious) sausages! A "side" of bacon was about 8 pieces of crispy, crunchy, perfectly cooked bacon. Yum!
The sourdough waffles are so wonderfully tart you'd think they made them right in San Francisco. And they come with the most incredible culinary mashup I can imagine: VANILLA BUTTER. O.M.G. it is amazing! I actually thought about asking for a small container to take what we didn't use home with us because the thought of them throwing away such a gorgeous concoction made me want to cry.
The quiche du jour was a spinach florentine and it was delightful. The eggs were almost a custard consistency: smooth and creamy. The spinach was fresh and fragrant. The crust was buttery and flaky. It was served with a salad of spring greens so I felt healthy and superior to everyone who was ordering the croque madame (which I drooled over enviously).
I would definitely visit Bouchon again. We only had breakfast. We gotta try lunch and dinner!
