Located in the heart of California wine country, Bistro 29 offers French-influenced cuisine in a relaxed and comfortable environment. The number 29 in the restaurant's name comes from the department of Finistère in Northwest France, which is famous for it’s traditional buckwheat crêpes. The menu features a wide variety of these culinary favorites, such as the Clairette — a flavorful combination of goat cheese and fig compote with greens and toasted almonds. A plethora of crêpe additions are available, including everything from saffron butter to sautéed apples. Sweet crêpes are also offered, such as the chocolate ganache and the orange-grand marnier butter varieties.
