Bouchon is the French word for cork. In the small farming village where the owner, Michel Baudouin, grew up, bouchon also refers to the friendly neighborhood bistro. The bouchons in Michel's hometown were supplied by local farms, and so we continue that tradition here.
His memories of simple, delicious, and comforting dishes shared at home or enjoyed at the local bistros inspired him to recreate that experience here in Asheville.
Thank you for dining with us- and bon appetit, y'all!

    Our birthday celebration meal was so perfect! Our food was delicious- Margherita pizza with the thinnest crispy crust, the green weeds salad we shared, and the little Carmelo pasta was a real treat with the added balsamic addition. All of the pasta, made in house, was al dente with perfect amounts of sauce. But the staff at Luminosa was, as always, exemplary in their attentiveness, knowledge of the menu items, and kindness. They make this wonderfully historic space worth coming often, which I have! We even got a tour of the newly opened red ribbon space - thank you Ace, Sara Charles and Amy.
