About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
We are delighted to have added additional outdoor seating but Santa Barbara nights are chilly so bring a sweater or light jacket!

Fresh, local ingredients, prepared with care. Excellent wines that reflect the quality and character of our region and work in concert with the cuisine. Warm, inviting ambiance, service at a relaxed, leisurely pace. Santa Barbara ‘Wine Country Cuisine’ means we source our ingredients using an ‘as-fresh-and-as-local-as-possible’ approach, with fish from the Santa Barbara Channel and produce from the surrounding countryside. We then take into account how these flavors can be presented in concert with our local wines. We believe you’ll taste the difference. Bon Appètit!

    The trio of scallops was outstanding, with 3 distinct and delicious tastes. My local fish was perfect, and my wife’s beef shank was tender and tasty. The lemon cake dessert came with a lit candle to celebrate her birthday. Excellent service by Christian. A great evening.

    We had dinner at Bouchon to celebrate our anniversary. We had really good service (friendly and knowledgeable about the wine/food) and the staff were very kind to congratulate us on our milestone. The parklet had a nice atmosphere, with plenty of space between diners, and environmental control so we weren't too hot or too cold. We had French onion soup, goat cheese tart, venison, duck, lemon-blackberry cake, and creme brulee, and they were all delicious!

    This is our second time at Bouchon and again we were not disappointed. The service is excellent and the food is very good. I recommend the goat cheese tart for appetizer! The ribeye was very well prepared. The duck confit and breasts were very tender and delicious. I would expect a more sophisticated desert menu. Highly recommended restaurant in Santa Barbara with a nice large outside seating area.

    From the very start, the staff were very helpful and attentive. We were seated and there was an anniversary card and rose petals on the table. So sweet! Our server had the best wine recommendations to pair with our 2-course meal. The main courses were cooked to perfection. Would definitely recommend Bouchon, to anyone vising SB.
