Chef Ken Frank’s La Toque has been a destination for exceptional wine and food pairings since 1979. In 1998, he heeded the call of wine country and opened a new La Toque in Rutherford; 10 years later, the 14-time Michelin-rated establishment found its home in downtown Napa. The French fare can be enjoyed a la carte or in the chef’s tasting menu.  

If you can’t get a reservation at The French Laundry, try Chef Thomas Keller’s other outposts in Yountville: Bouchon, an inviting French Bistro, and Ad Hoc, serving elevated American comfort food.  

Nearby, The Restaurant at North Block emphasizes ingredients that are regionally farmed, fished and foraged. Mustards Grill keeps things equally fresh and classic, with some dishes that have remained on the menu by popular demand since its opening in 1983.  
 
The Charter Oak in St. Helena was opened by chef Christopher Kostow, who gained acclaim earning three stars at The Restaurant at Meadowood. The Charter Oak is well-loved for its farm-fresh fare fueled by the restaurant’s 3.5-acre garden.  

Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch is a showcase of seasonal ingredients sourced from the Hall family’s farm, ranch and vineyards in St. Helena.  

And Solbar at the Solage, Auberge Resorts Collection in Calistoga serves up bistro fare with true Napa Valley flair. Enjoy the woodsy-chic vibe inside or dine alfresco on spacious terraces where you can take in stunning mountain views.

Michelin Bib Gourmand

Ciccio is a community-driven, Californian-Italian restaurant in Yountville started by the Altamura family that Christopher and Martina Kostow have breathed new life into. The simple menu features starters, woodfired pizzas, handmade pastas, and just a few mains and sides.
