Bistro Jeanty Yountville, California ( Napa Valley)
More Information
Walking into this bistro is like stepping into France. I love to enjoy my meal without being rushed and savor the many regional French specialties of Chef Philippe Jeanty . Chef Jeanty came to California from his home in the Champagne region of France. The menu changes with the season.

Be sure to ask the chef to pair the Valley's wines with his French dishes!
