Editorial Review for Bistro Jeanty – by Amanda Dorato
The Scene
Formerly sleepy Yountville has become an upscale-restaurant magnet in recent years, thanks to the ascension of the French Laundry into the gastronomic firmament. The red-and-white awnings, Pernod and Maurice Chevalier posters, rustic dish cabinets and knickknack-lined plate racks create a relaxed atmosphere without pretension. Bistro Jeanty's charm is best captured at a table for two, in the back, beside the old stone fireplace.
The Food
Chef Philippe Jeanty hails from Champagne, and he brings his vision of the comforting dishes of his childhood to this charming neighborhood restaurant. Standout dishes include a rich tomato soup topped with flaky puff pastry, pieds de cochon (crispy pig's feet served with green beans) and savory coq au vin (chicken stewed in a red-wine sauce). There's a whole slew of mouthwatering desserts to round off your meal, such as lemon tart with orange sauce, tarte Tatin (rich, caramelized upside-down apple tart) and riz au lait (velvety rice pudding with brandied cherries).

Absolutely delicious food, pricey but worth it. Great french bistro atmosphere. I would eat there every day if I could!

We stopped in for lunch and I was glad we did. The soup and quiche were very rich, as they should be.
Pros: Wonderful fresh breeze, rich french food
Cons: service was slow
