"With an artistic, new French atmosphere and an ever-changing selection of interesting natural wines, this spot in the heart of the Old Market has become a downtown staple. Highlights include the Bouillon burger, a juicy roast chicken, and a revamped version of the French onion soup that was served years ago at the French Cafe, the long-running business that formerly inhabited the same location. Le Bouillon’s sister wine shop, Howard Street Wine Merchant, next door is a popular choice for afternoon tastings, and there’s also a basement wine bar beneath both businesses, Mon Cave, that pours natural wines and bottled cocktails." - Sarah Baker Hansen
