Bistro Maison

Frommer's Review

This cozy little spot in an old house in downtown McMinnville is a casual French restaurant with great food. The husband-and-wife owners bring loads of experience to the restaurant, including time spent at famed New York restaurants the Russian Tea Room and Tavern on the Green. The menu offers such French standards as escargot and coq au vin, but whatever you order for an entree, be sure to start with the mussels or the very authentic fondue. There are daily plats du jour, with Sundays featuring a good cassoulet. Although the service here can be hit or miss, the food is good enough to overlook most shortcomings on the part of the waitstaff. In summer, ask for a table on the tree-shaded patio.
