BISTRO JEANTY - GUIDELINES FOR GROUPS

About Bistro Jeanty

In everyday French life it is the Bistro that is woven into the daily pattern of meals and celebrations. The Bistro is that little neighborhood restaurant where they know who you are, great you warmly, and serve you satisfying foods that change with the seasons and define regional homey French cuisine.

Philippe Jeanty has had a life long love affair with food. Bistro Jeanty is a classic example of his philosophy on food and restaurants, using fresh quality ingredients, exacting and demanding preparation and consistent service at the table with warm surroundings. He was born in the Champagne region of France and came to the Napa Valley in 1977 to open the Chandon restaurant in Yountville. In a year’s time he was made executive chef. This allowed Jeanty to develop his personal style of world-class cuisine. The next twenty years of accolades, awards, and praise from customers and critics proved that Jeanty was one of America’s finest chefs. In 1997 Philippe began to look for a new challenge. His thoughts turned to his home in France. He decided to create a bistro where he could recreate all those favorite foods of his childhood. Philippe opened the doors of Bistro Jeanty in Yountville, Napa Valley in 1998.

Since then the doors have barely had a chance to swing shut. The crowds of patrons continue to come from around the world for the opportunity to dine in a true French bistro in the Napa Valley. It was chosen as the “Best New Restaurant in the Bay Area 1998” and chosen as one of four nominees for “Best New Restaurant in America 1998” by the James Beard Foundation.
