Fodor's Expert Review Andre's Bouchée
$$$$
Carmel-by-the-Sea
French
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
With its copper wine bar, the dining room here feels more urban than most of Carmel, and the foodrepresents an innovative bistro-style take on local ingredients. A Monterey Bay sea scallop reduction adorns pan-seared veal tenderloin; grilled rib-eye steaks are topped with a shallot–Cabernet Sauvignon sauce. The owners operate the adjacent wineshop, which explains the dizzyingly comprehensive, 52-page wine list.
