    Another work trip dinner, came to see if they deserve the high ratings, yes they do. Service was great, nice vibe, oysters were fresh, French onion soup was great. The lamb was above average as well. They modified the dessert for me, letting me try different kinds of ice cream on their ice cream puff. Great vibe. Will go back there again

    I wish I could give this place more stars! The food was amazing but the best part was definitely our server Nicole! She was AMAZING, served the entire patio and was on top of everything. The best service we've ever had. The escargot was probably the best appie, seared scallops + shrimp (that sauce was amazing) and the best dessert were the profiteroles. Thank you!! highly recommend this place!!

    We had doubts coming here with the mixed reviews but still ended up dining in here. I’ve had my fair share of great French food in Paris and this restaurant failed to deliver for the $$$ price tag that they charge. We ordered the escargot, rack of lamb, bouillabaisse special and the duck leg special. We all tasted each other’s dishes and: 1. The escargot is a hard no. The “pastry shell” is a thin oily mess 2. Just a note that bread with butter is not free 3. The rack of lamb flavour was probably my favourite out of the 3. However, the cook is supposedly “medium rare” but the actual meat ranges from well done to very rare in the center depending on which rib you cut (although tender). My suspicion is that the lamb is cooked from frozen. The scalloped potatos were undercooked and flavourless. 4. The sausage that comes with the duck leg was the worst sausage I’ve ever had (very bland) and the whole duck leg dish was flavourless and underwhelming. We needed to ask for salt….. 5. The bouillabaisse broth was okay, although just tastes like seafood broth and has no complexity. And the seafood did not taste fresh. The fish chunks inside were very dry like over boiled salmon. Maybe for $20 a dish it could be justifiable. But for $40-50 a dish it’s definitely not worth it and a pass for us. P.S. service is also questionable as our waitress (although nice) didn’t seem very experienced.

    This was our first visit in a few years (thanks Covid) and it hasn't changed one bit. The food is authentic and delicious! My starter was a puff pastry tart with a creamy, buttery filling with locally sourced Morel mushrooms. Highly recommend! The herb -crusted rack of lamb was cooked rare, to perfection. And of course my visit would not be complete without a creme brulee. Our server was attentive and helpful.

    Another fantastic experience at Bouchons. Everything about our meal was excellent - the cocktails, wine, food, service and ambiance. So many great options in the menu, will need to make it back more often. Definite 5 star.

    It has been a fantastic discovery. I'm someone who's really difficult and you can see it through my other reviews but I can tell you this place is a little gem and I hope to see them in Vancouver at some point to give the other restaurants a cooking lesson. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was festive and the service was one of the best I had so far this year. The food was perfectly on point. Everything we tried was fresh and homemade. I suggest the foie gras as an appetizer (Best one I had in BC so far) and the rabbit or the lamb for the entree. I'm sure you would like to finish with a light but delicious dessert. They have a succulent crème brûlée and some special profiterole. Thank you Chef!! Hope to see you again.

    Dined for the first time at Bouchons Bistro for our wedding anniversary. French cuisine is a favourite, and per our anniversary, the dinner was a bit nostalgic since we dined at a French restaurant on our honeymoon years ago. The food was good, no argument there, but none of the dishes were so good that they stood above previous French cuisine meals, or similar dishes served at other restaurants. We started by sharing the charcuterie and cheese platters between 4 of us dining. I also had the foie gras, and another had the onion soup. All very tasty. A couple of us also had a cocktail, followed by a glass of wine. I then had the cassoulet, my wife had the scallops & shrimp, another member of our party had the rabbit, and the last had the lamb. We then shared the dessert platter, although one of us went for her own creme brulee. All of that cost about $90 per diner before tip. I will go back to try a few other dishes and beverages on their menu, and hopefully to try some of their fondues, offered on Tuesdays. Note: The adjacent city of Kelowna public parking lot is free after 5 pm in the fall through spring. For summer/tourist season, it is pay parking until 9 pm.

    True French cooking, a slice of France in Kelowna. Service was relaxed and excellent, the owner made perfect recommendations for wine pairings, all dishes were top notch. We will go back time and time again.

    The best French food in BC! Flavour thermonuclear explosion. Exceptional atmosphere and service from the owners and hosts. You will not be disappointed. Ignore any naysayers on google reviews, if you don't have the pallet for fine dining this is not the place for you. (That said they accommodate kids as well)

    My girlfriend and I enjoyed a wonderful evening last august for her birthday. I think about that dinner often as it was one of the best I have ever had. The service was amazing. It was a very windy day and there was no issues when we requested a seat inside due to the weather. Wine recommendations were perfect with our meals. Highly recommend. Will be back every time I am in Kelowna.

    I believe it is one of the best fine dining venues in Kelowna. Authentic French bistro athmosphere in the middle of downtown, Beatrice warm greetings and Clemance knowledgable service- what else can you ask to start the evening. Food menu with exellent choices and long wine list would not dissappoint any client. Bouchons became our favorite place in Kelowna. Thank you chef Stephane and whole team!

    Words won’t do it justice to define the dining experience in Bouchons. It’s one of the places you should go try and see for yourself. The food and service is amazing. C'est bien!!

    I am still daydreaming of my meal last night. I had Sable fish with creamy red pepper risotto and green beans, mmmm. My husband had the Surf & Turf. We highly recommend Bouchons. Great service too

    Escargot with edible pastry shells, a very interesting and tasty take. Surf and turf was divine, great scallops and prawns as well. A supreme dining experience with awesome service. Would definitely visit again when we return to Kelowna.

    One of the few restaurants in Kelowna with truly fantastic food and a proper fine dining experience. We will definitely be coming back here again!

    One of the most phenomenal restaurants in Kelowna and perhaps on the west coast. On a weekend bookended with the super bowl as well as Valentine’s Day, despite being booked to capacity - Bouchons is a phenomenal restaurant, both for its divine French food and delicate flavors as well as for its superb service. For the true french bistro experience with an exceptional French menu, this restaurant is an absolute gem. And even under the pressure of a holiday weekend, nothing suffers at this locale - where even the staff in the late hours of the evening are attentive, caring and wonderful and the chef continues to turn out course after course of scrumptious food. Absolutely superb!

    Excellent service, excellent food!! Escargots were good , french onion soup was amazing, very flavourful, not too salty, seafood salad was amazing, plenty of squid prawn and baby scallops, very fresh, great taste! seared tartare was amazing, the slight sear makes it even better! The halibut was cooked well too!! Great place! Seems very authentic, if you're into french foods, Bouchon is the place!

    Oh wow, I have no words… Lovely location. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. And the food..? Just wow! Be sure to make a reservation (and confirm it via email). Definitely a must when in Kelowna!

    We had a delightful dinner here. It was very good but not wow, considering the prices. Started with the escargot, very good. Duck leg confit, and rack of lamb. All were tasty. The stewed vegetables that came with the lamb were not my thing. Best part...the profiterolles for desert!

    A couple things on this spot, menu is limited and they do charge for bread which seems a bit odd. I ordered the crevettes et nix de Saint Jacques which was flavorful. Feedback on the fish and steak that was also ordered was that it was OK.

    I appreciated the timeliness and ambience, and the drinks were good. I regret to say that the food left much to be desired. I felt like the hostess wasn't very kind in the way she spoke to/treated us. Our server did her best. A decent experience.

    Definitely would go again for dinner. The price was suitable compared to the quality of the dishes. Atmosphere was very nice, reminded me of my time in Paris. The food was delicious, the owners were so nice.
