Kristi, founder of The Fermented Experience, holds this charming establishment in high esteem—and for compelling reasons.​

Nestled in the heart of Oregon’s wine country, Bistro Maison is the brainchild of husband-and-wife team Chef Jean-Jacques and Deborah Chatelard. With over 50 years of combined experience in the food and wine industry across Paris, Rome, and New York City, the Chatelards have created a dining haven that exudes warmth and authenticity. 

The restaurant offers a quintessential French bistro ambiance, complemented by a menu that showcases classic dishes crafted with locally sourced ingredients. Favorites such as coq au vin, moules frites, and duck confit grace the menu, each prepared with meticulous attention to detail. ​

Beyond the delectable cuisine, Bistro Maison’s outdoor patio provides a picturesque setting for al fresco dining. Surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant blooms, guests can savor their meals in an atmosphere that feels both intimate and enchanting. ​bistromaison.com
