Only the freshest, high quality local ingredients find their way into the bouchon santa barbara kitchen. Working closely with local produce growers, fishermen and game ranchers we have created a menu we believe captures the essence of California's Central Coast. bouchon santa barbara is dedicated to providing an authentic, regional wine dining experience, carefully choosing menu selections whose ingredients, textures and flavors marry well with the incredible wines coming out of California's fastest growing wine regions-- the Santa Ynez and Santa Maria Valleys, north of Santa Barbara. | |
