In Short – This bustling authentic eatery is a little piece of France nestled in the heart of Oregon's wine country. The small dining room has Provencal décor with dark hardwood floors, imprinted walls and French doors opening onto a patio. Local gourmets and tourists marvel about the unfussy yet elegant French standards, including the popular three-cheese fondue, mussels with fries, onion soup and escargots with a Bourgogne sauce.

Before the restaurant opens each day, I imagine Deb goes through the restaurant making sure each detail is as it should be. Not for the sake of pretense, but for the experience of the customer. She then spends the remainder of the day following through, making sure the atmosphere is matched by the food and people who help you experience it.
Because that is what the Bistro Maison is - a warm, intimate, and above all delicious dining experience. Clearly the people of Bistro Maison are passionate about two things - their food and their customers.
- Pros: Fantastic Food and Staff

Too bad they are not open every day

I just love the food at this place. And there is always a glass of excellent wine to go along with it. Good enough to host the next G8 meeting.

Friendly and welcoming with amazing cuisine

We have been dining at the Bistro Maison for about six years now, and we have never been disappointed. We have been through most of the menu, from the mussels to the hanger steaks, the coq au vin, the salmon--everything has been beautifully prepared and presented. We've attended regular dinners, lunches, and special occasion parties such as wine dinners with local winemakers and New Years Eve, for which Deborah decorates the restaurant with celebratory panache. It is clear she and Jean-Jacques love what they do. They are both knowledgeable and eager to explain their dishes and advise about wine choices--Jean-Jacques loves to come out of the kitchen when he can to visit with patrons. He uses many items from local growers, including fresh vegetables from the Farmers' Market and meat from Carlton Farms, which makes his preparations fresh and timely. The staff is equally enthusiastic about the menu selections and eager to help out a hesitant visitor. We will continue to be regular customers and consider ourselves fortunate to have such a restaurant so near (we live in McMinnville).
- Pros: Service, atmosphere, knowledge, use of local products
- Cons: None
