More appropriately, Bouchon is closer to a <i>brasserie</i> - slightly upscale, serving a fixed menu of classic dishes <i>à la carte</i> - than a <i>bistro</i>, which is traditionally smaller and cheaper, and typically offers a limited, menu (often <i>prix fixe</i>) that changes daily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-29763047023215170952009-12-15T22:08:40.450-08:002009-12-15T22:08:40.450-08:00$100 for lunch is pretty extreme, but if you'r...$100 for lunch is pretty extreme, but if you're going to go all out, it might as well be on your birthday.
