Best French Restaurants in St. Helena

Incredibly nice and professional staff. Delicious food

I stayed at the hotel and had my Birthday lunch with my family. The Burrata is divine and a must-order. They have a great selection of main dishes, with a wonderful alternative dessert option of cheeses. With many drink choices, my favorite was the Pommery from Champagne, France. Aside from the wonderful food and drinks, we sat outside on the balcony which had heat lamps for the winter chill, and a quiet but musical ambiance. Staff service was 10/10 with attention, knowledge, and interactions. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking to elevate a special night out into an experience to remember.

We arrived early for our reservation, which was no problem, and were offered to try the enclosed, outdoor, heated patio. It was beautiful with warm lighting and not a hint of the December chill outside. My daughter and I shared the fig/arugula salad, duck confit and flounder. We expected two tiny duck legs but they were leg quarters with more meat than we could eat due to the duck’s richness. A good sharing dish because of that. The salted fig carmel trifle is a must if you’re a chocolate mousse fan. The Puebla de Sonoma cocktail was good but if you don’t care for a sweet drink, ask for less agave. I was worried about spiciness and asked for less heat but the regular amount would have been fine and actually better. Our server was attentive and friendly and the entire staff was on top of things. Our water never got below half and empty dishes were swept away quickly, but not in a rushed, hurry up way. My receipt says my server was ‘August’s A’ and she was wonderful.

Having lived in Sonoma County for 34 years and now the concierge at Hotel Healdsburg, my visit to Bistro Jeanty was LONG OVERDUE. What a wonderful, delicious surprise to have enjoyed Christmas lunch with my Mom. The rainy weather was the perfect setting to enjoy all our french favorites - Crême de Tomate en Croute, Soupe a l’Oignon and our very favorite Boeuf Bourguignon. Thank you, thank you thank you for a memorable meal - We absolutely will be back. - Merci beaucoup
