Why you should go…

The French Laundry is Thomas Keller's French and Californian restaurant in Yountville, holder of three Michelin stars since 2006. The stone building began as a saloon and became a French steam laundry in 1920, which is where the name comes from. Each day the kitchen serves two nine-course menus, the Chef's Tasting Menu and the vegetarian Tasting of Vegetables. Reservations are booked ahead through Tock.
