Ad Hoc


Ideal Family Meal
6476, Washington Street
Napa Valley, CA 94599
United States
+1 707 944 2487
http://www.adhocrestaurant.com/
At the sleek-looking Ad Hoc, chef Thomas Keller takes the average American meal and turns it up a notch. Although the decor may be sparse, with plain white walls and chrome tables, the food is anything but. For starters, ease into the Haricots Verts and Garden Fig Salad, and then move your way up to the Bacalao & Chick Pea Soup. Finish off the night with a heavenly Chocolate Bread Pudding topped with whipped caramel cream. Though pricey, the meals leave you wishing you could eat Keller-style every day.

Bouchon Bakery


Pastry Pleasures
6528 Washington Strret
Napa Valley, CA 94599
United States
+1 707 754 4123
Providing freshly baked breads and deserts for Chef Thomas Keller's Yountville restaurants: French Laundry (The), Bouchon and Ad Hoc, Bouchon Bakery delights its customers with many of the same treats. The bakery is small and quaint. Inside you'll find a small display case filled with macaroons, tarts, cookies and Chocolate Bouchons. The delicacies of sweets doesn't end there, though, more often it starts with Chocolate Bouchons. Chocolate Bouchons are up-right, moist brownies with a warm chocolate center that bursts into your mouth with the first bite, all lightly sprinkled with confection sugar. On weekends, the bakery serves decadent donuts. The TKO, Thomas Keller Oreo, is an unusual treat of two buttery chocolate cookies with a white cream filling sandwiched in between. The bakery also serves ready-made sandwiches on baguettes. Prices may seem high, but sweets are so rarely made or packaged with so much detail and passion.

Brannan's Grill


Classic Americana

United States
+1 707 942 2233
http://www.brannansgrill.com/
Locals are found at this upscale roadhouse eatery. The large dining room is defined by the rustic aura of the oak wood paneling. The food is all-American: thick juicy steaks, grilled fresh fish and a host of seasonal dishes that show inspired by local produce. The Hoisin-Glazed Baby Back Ribs is a great blend of flavors and textures. The full bar can whip up a martini for you and the wine list has some of the best that Napa has to offer.

Taylor's Automatic Refresher


No Reservations Required
933 Main Street
Napa Valley, CA 94574
United States
+1 707 963 3486
http://www.taylorsrefresher.co...
The Napa Valley is known for its world-renowned restaurants and wine but little is known about local diamonds like Taylor's. Classic diner food - burgers, fries, onion rings, and shakes - is served. Diner food, however, takes on a new life: fresh, local meats and veggies are used to ensure maximum flavor and quality. Essentially it's a burger stand with a line around the corner. Service is quick and the time spent in line can be used to take in picturesque, quaint St. Helena. All seating is outdoor. In true Napa fashion, wine, as well as beer, is served. The food is reason enough, though the miles of scenic vineyards and rolling hills doesn't hurt, to make the drive up Highway 29.
