Bouche Bistro

Calm, friendly, smaller menu with complex choices. Food excellent, small portions, pricey. Knowledgeable service.

Delicious French food! We got the sweetbreads, escargots, & butternut squash raviolis with duck confit.

Nice wine selection. Amazing French onion soup. Short ribs were perfectly cooked. Incredible French fries. Every single French fry had the exact right level of crispness. While it was our most expensive meal in Santa Fe, it was some of the best French food we’ve ever had in the US!

I have dined at Bouche many times in the past three years. Last night was my first disappointment. We had 7pm reservations and were promptly seated which was nice. However, it took the server almost thirty minutes to even take our wine order. We ordered starter courses which took a long time to come out. Then entrees took another thirty minutes or so before they appeared. It became a three hour dinner with most of it waiting for something. I had the swordfish special and it was very over cooked and dry. The portions were tiny. My fish couldn't have been more than a 3 oz serving. It was appetizer size, not an entree portion. It was served on a bed of chard that was maybe three inches wide, and that was it. I hope this was a one time off evening. Chef was there at the helm and I do love what he done at Bouche. Will try again with hopes of a better experience soon..

Our group of four travelers wanted to try a place new to us. The reviews on this site compelled us to try Bouche Bistro. We have a delicious, charming, gracious evening there. We sampled many items on the menu including the quail, risotto, oysters, Caesar salad (yum) and enjoyed a lovely bottle of French wine, followed by TWO! Desserts, cappuccino and expresso. The service staff was attentive in spite of a busy evening. Bouche Bistro is a perfect place for a lingering meal over conversation while enjoying a lovingly prepared meal, the kind of place for which one searches

The restaurant was short staffed and unusually busy on the Tuesday night we came for dinner. But despite apologies from the staff our meal was served in a reasonable amount of time and the food was delicious. Everyone in the restaurant stepped up to make it work and we couldn’t have been happier. Thomas and Sean were awesome. Highly recommended.

Been here multiple times and it is one of our favorite restaurant in town. The service is impeccable and everyone who works here has passion for food and wine. The ambiance is excellent and reminds us of bistro in France. There are dishes that I would not get again but there are so many dishes that I would get again that keeps us coming back.

I proposed to my fiance just before our reservation time at Bouche. We got to the restaurant a little early and the wonderful maitre d recommended we have a drink while they accommodate us. Minutes later we were sat. They learned of our engagement and the chef himself came over to offer congrats. They treated us like family from the first moment, to the last. I can honestly say I would recommend this perfect restaurant to anyone for any occasion.
