bouchon
(wine cork in French)
is the standard bearer for Santa Barbara wine country cuisine , using only the freshest of local ingredients, produce, seafood, game and poultry.
We shop several times weekly at local Farmer's Markets.

Mitchell Sjerven, Proprietor, along with Chef Greg Murphy, have a masterful knack of paring  creative and elegant food with the wonderful wines of the region.  Great food and wine are only two parts to the experience of
bouchon.

Ambience and an educated and enthusiastic service staff complete the picture.
Missing
bouchon is missing Santa Barbara.

 

"I created bouchon to reflect my image of fine dining-the freshest ingredients, prepared with care.  Excellent wines that reflect the quality and character of our region and work in concert with the cuisine.  Warm, inviting ambience, service at a relaxed, leisurely pace.
We source all of our ingredients using an 'as fresh-and-as-local-as-possible' approach, with fish from Santa Barbara Channel, produce from the surrounding countryside and meats and poultry from local micro-ranches.  You'll taste the difference.
We believe that Santa Barbara is producing some of the finest California Chardonnay, Pinot Noire and Syrah.  Other locally produced varietals will surprise you with their quality , variety and approachability.
Welcome to
bouchon!"
