First off: don't use Google Maps direction to locate Bouchon. Take the Central Escalator all the way to Shelley street, turn right on Eglin. I learned the hardway starting off at the bottom slope on Eglin Street...lost I was.I sat at the front portion of the bistro with high chairs and tables.

I sat at the front portion of the bistro with high chairs and tables. The hostess was nice to pull out the table so that I could get in and sit on my chair: seriously tight between tables, but comfortable. Since this was a bistro, I had no problems with the closeness with my neighbours. And you bet, everyone would want to know what you ordered, and vice versa. Steak frites seemed to be popular today.
But I didn't go with the flow. I had soupe à l'oignon, canard rôti (roasted duck breast) and penne cotta: 3 courses $176 , extra $18 for changing to an onion soup.
La soupe had a lot of onions and a rich broth. It was good, but no wow yet. In fact, the melted gruyère I tasted charred bits.
Onto my main. The duck breast was delicious- wow- juicy, moist, and cuire au point. Some might find it a tad red inside. As usual with duck dishes, subtle sweetness came from the jus.
Penne cotta was creamy, a bit too much gelatin for me, with strawberry coulis, and strawberry slices.
I had a good time. Perfectly okay to dine on your own.
Definitely will go back to try other dishes, like beef tartare, Bouillabaise, la crème brûlée...
