In 1978, town mayor Don Schmitt and his wife Sally renovated the structure into a restaurant, which Keller then purchased in 1994. The building later served as a residence, and during the 1920s operated as a French steam laundry. The French Laundry, a 1,600 square-foot structure constructed of river rock and timbers, was built as a saloon in 1900 by a Scottish stonemason. As he walked into the restaurant’s quaint courtyard, he knew it was where he had been headed throughout his career. In his travels, he came across a rustic two-story stone cottage. Chef visited Yountville, California, in the early 1990s to find a space to fulfill a longtime culinary dream: to establish a destination for fine French cuisine in the Napa Valley.

Chef’s daily nine-course tasting menu and nine-course vegetable tasting menu highlight French technique and the finest quality ingredients available.

Opened in 1994, The French Laundry is Thomas Keller’s world-renowned, three-Michelin-starred restaurant which has been highly regarded as one of the best restaurants in the world for the past 23 years.
