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 Josh Brown, 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.
