Their eyes would most likely shoot over directly across the street to Keller’s culinary garden (where most of the ingredients used in his meals are grown) instead. Since then, the building has served as a residence, a French steam laundry in the 1920s, and then a restaurant before Thomas Keller purchased it in 1994.Īlthough it is beautiful, most would probably miss the building while driving down Washington Street if not specifically looking for it. The structure was built in 1900 by a Scottish stonemason as a saloon. The restaurant is located in the town of Yountville in a quaint 1,600 square-foot rustic cottage. Every day, the French Laundry serves two eight-course tasting menus (one for vegetarians & one for those who aren’t) none of which use the same ingredient twice. Often referred to as “the best restaurant in the world”, the French Laundry is the vision of world renowned American-born chef Thomas Keller (who by the way is the ONLY American chef to ever hold multiple three-star ratings from the prestigious Michelin Guide). The food is mostly French but has contemporary American influences. But to be honest, you don’t just eat at The French Laundry, you experience it. You know…that world famous restaurant that has received like every honor & accolade imaginable and takes months to get a reservation?! Yeah, that one! Anyone who is anyone has eaten here (think: athletes, politicians, food critics, movie stars, EVERYONE). ![]() I was finally able to dine at THE French Laundry. ![]() ![]() While on my latest trip to Napa, I did just that.
