The Best Restaurants in Napa Valley
In this concise food guide, Austin Klar highlights Napa Valley’s culinary scene, emphasizing that the region is as much about food as wine. He recommends three standout restaurants: Bistro Janti in Yountville, an upscale‑casual French spot known for inventive comfort dishes like tomato soup baked in puff pastry, classic French onion soup, and dessert cocktails; Ad Hoc and its sister venue Addendum, both Thomas Keller‑run establishments in Yountville featuring a rotating menu with a must‑try fried‑chicken day, four‑course family‑style service at Ad Hoc, and a casual picnic‑shack experience at Addendum; and Charter Oak in St. Helena, a farm‑to‑table restaurant sourcing produce from its own 3.5‑acre farm, cooking over an open hearth, with the burger highlighted as a standout item among seasonal options. Klar ends by inviting viewers to follow him for more Bay Area food recommendations.
