Andre’s Bouchee

Specialties

Proprietors Andre and Elizabeth Lemaire want to share a Carmel favorite that lures locals and visitors with its chic style and neighborhood charm. Chef Andre Lemaire prepares authentic French Bistro Cuisine with a Californian Coastal flair. Our friendly atmosphere buzzes with excitement and energy that makes you feel your dining in one of the small neighborhoods inside Paris.

Diners at the Bistro have a special advantage with the Bouchée wine shop. Because of it, the restaurant can offer a much greater selection of bottles on its wine list and there is a tremendous flexibility in creating wine flights for the chef’s menu items.

Andre’s Bouchée Bistro and Wine Bar features wines by the glass and a full wine list. The wine bar opens at 4:00 pm daily. Dinner will be served from 5:30 p.m. — 10:00 p.m. nightly. Reservations are recommended at the restaurant, telephone 831−626−7880. We are open for lunch from 11:30 until 2:30 Wednesday through Sunday.
