    Beef bourguignon
    Andrew L.

    I tried Bouillon Moulin for the first time today and enjoyed my experience. It's a French restaurant located near the Moulin Bakery. Food: The French bread and butter tasted very delicious. For my meal, I ordered the beef bourguignon. The dish tasted extremely flavorful. The beef was tender and the pasta tasted fresh. The portions were very generous. Service: Our server was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. Ambiance: The decor inside is very nice and there is a lot of seating.

    This is a semi new French restaurant near Moulin Bakery in Newport Beach. There is plenty of parking. Inside is simple decor but fun and French. There are many tables and booths to sit at. It is open and colorful. The waiter greeted us warmly with his French accent. The menu is simple with all your favorites. The food is exceptional. We had the Duck and beef stew. Before the meal came, we enjoyed a baguette and French butter. The meal came and it reminded me of my mother's cooking. She was a gourmet chef who was trained in French cuisine. I don't often find food this good without paying $50 a plate, but this was refreshing. No white table cloths and candles, but the highest quality for a very reasonable price. This is one of the best places in Orange County for food cost, taste, and value. Highly recommended.

    Excellent dinner! Not many places around to get French food and this place came through! I crave French Onion Soup and no other place locally has hit the spot, this place did! Can't wait to go back and tey their brunch next! Cute interior, very inviting. Nice selection of French Wines and Champagnes. The offer most of their wines by the glass and Champagnes by the half-bottle which is very nice when you are out as a party of two We started with a half-bottle of Champagne, few apprtizers, and bread/butter. The baguette and French butter could have been my meal, so fresh and delicious! We ordered Escargots, Terrine, and French Onion Soup. Terrine waa a mix of Duck and Pork, it waa okay but the other starters were excellent! Our Champagne; Lauren Perrier, wad smooth and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Paired well with our starters! We ordered and shared an order of Boeuf Bourgiignon, plenty for two with our starters, and finished off with the Chocolate Souffle. Service was excellent. Our server, Sylvan, was very attentive. Bringing us fresh dishes and flatware with each course. Checking on us. Pouring our champagne. Excited to go back. Destroying something with fries next visit, they looked so good as we saw tgem served to other tables! I also want to try out their bakery next store!

    We went to Moulin for our anniversary! I've been here before many years ago, and wanted to go again! I love the bakery. I made a reservation for 5:30 and the restaurant was fairly empty, but eventually filled up by around 6pm! The vibes inside are like french bistro! The service was great! Our waiter checked in on us the appropriate amount and was very kind! We ordered escargots to start and they were well cooked and buttery! I got the mussels and fries. They gave so many mussels and a lot of fries. The mussels were in a delicious white wine broth. My partner got the steak au poivre and it was cooked extremely well. Super tender! We ended our meal with the profiteroles which we saw seemed to be the star dessert on yelp! It was refreshing and the chocolate seemed to be as if they made it themselves! I definitely recommend coming here and can't wait for my next visit!

    SALADE FRISEE LARDON

    The beauty of international travel is being able to explore culture through its food. I went on 2.5week trip to France last year and grew a new appreciation for the French cuisine. Once I return to the states, I was always on the lookout for authentic French food which I became a keenly aware pretty quickly is a rare find even in Southern California. I was relieved to stumble upon bouillon in Newport Beach. The name alone says it all and seeing a boulangerie around the corner quickly won my heart. Walking into bouillon felt like walking into cafe in Paris. From the signage, chairs and iron tables I was quickly transported back. Reviewing the menu, I quickly knew I was in the right spot and giggled with excitement. I ordered all my favorite straight away; escargot, steak tartare with frites (you must add the egg yolk!), lyonnaise salad (on the menu it's listed as Salade Frisée aux lardon, lyonnaise is a regional name but I know the ingredients), a bottle of Sancerre, soufflé and two espresso. The meal was fantastic, so elegant, refined but made with simple ingredients you can taste. The service was leisurely and impeccable, the waitress was so knowledgeable and welcoming. Most people in the OC are more familiar with the chain bakery Moulin which serves French quick fair but the star of the show is certainly bouillon. They have a fabulous menu for those that missing truly authentic or for folks interested to try new French meals . Great selection of wines from different French regions that are affordable (in France is not about the price tag but more on the region it grew from). Stop by for a quick bite or stay for the long French lunch / dinner. Bon appétit, et vive la gastronomie!

    The fiancée and I went here for a date night. The interior is very European bistro vibes. We got the French onion soup, duck confit, and cod. The French onion soup had a great cheese pull and good earth flavors. My favorite was the duck due to the orange essence in the sauce and vegetables. I would definitely recommend this dish to friends. The cod was a little bland and my fiancée felt that he had to use the garlic aioli to give his food some flavor. The wait staff were attentive and helped explain some of the dishes. We will come back to try other French cuisine!

    Steak frites
    Heather M.

    I enjoyed the atmosphere of this spot, it's very welcoming as soon as you enter. Service was super attentive and friendly. The food was great. We ordered: steak frites 2x, soufflé, beef pasta for $116. Overall, we had a very enjoyable dinner and look forward to returning.

    Christopher T.

    Still a great French place in OC for me. Great service and great vibe. Foods are also great too (some can be a miss or just AOK). Parking can be tough but early or late in the day, then you shouldn't have any problem. Price range is reasonable. Love the baguette here with the butter...just yum and I can have this for the whole meal, non stop for sure w: a cup of cappuccino or with champagne or a bottle of wine. So glad I stopped by and had a wonderful Friday dinner here...can't wait to go back.

    Apple tart
    Yurie H.

    Cute French eatery with delicious meals and wine! Bouillon moulin is a sit down restaurant next to the moulin bakery. Casual atmosphere with lots of table seating. Menu has classic French dishes and wine. For starters we got a terrine, for the main I got the trout and hubby got the duck. We also got wine and apple tart for dessert. Terrine (8/10)-love the meat pate did not have a funk and fresh, good protein starter Trout (9/10)-crispy skin with lots of almonds very light, bit too much almond but fish was fresh Duck (8.5/10)-sauce was a bit sweet but duck was cooked well Apple tart (9/10)-Apple tart with ice cream was a delightful end just wish there was more ice cream Overall portions are not too large price is up there but it's worth it for a causal French. Would love to try the beef dishes next time

    Went to a dinner with coworkers. It was so delicious!!! This place is hidden in a plaza next to the freeway. Easy parking, quiet area. When you walk in you feel like you're in a cute place in Paris! The server was kind and told us what the weekly fish special was. Excellent service, quick turnaround time, and GREAT plating skills. Absolutely divine and will be back soon

    Le steak au poivre
    Fabien L.

    One of my favorite French restaurants in OC! I've been here a couple of times now, and every visit has been consistently excellent. If you're looking for an authentic French restaurant, this is definitely one to try. The staff is fantastic, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious, and you can really taste the quality and authenticity in every dish. And please, do yourself a favor and try the French butter and bread. It sounds simple, but it's incredible! This is what a French restaurant should be: great food, excellent service, and an authentic atmosphere. I'll definitely be back again!

    I'd gladly give this place a 4.5 stars review. It is cute, friendly, and tasty. We had some drinks prior to our dinner while waiting for our friends. We ordered mussels, liver pate, escargot, 2 salads, beef tartar for appetizers Everything was delicious! Main: salmon, steak, duck, and cod/ we also tried the chocolate soufflé and 2 other desserts that I can't remember the name. I'll be back again

    Trout

    We loved everything about our lunch at Bouillon. Cutest diner with all things French. Loving the furnishings and decor, that you can actually purchase at their little shop down the walkway. Let me tell you about it. The bread basket - was divine. It came with French butter too. Served warm and that rustic crunchy crust was perfect. I'm convinced you can survive on bread and butter. However, we didn't stop here. Salad frisée aux pardons - frisée lettuce, smoked bacon, one poached egg, croutons, sherry vinaigrette - a beautiful blend of fatty proteins which helps the mineral absorption of the vegetables. Tartare du saumon - salmon tartare with avocado, capers, cornichons, yuzu mayo, scallions, and micro herbs. Served with toasted baguette. Loved every bite. Les moules mariniere - mussels in white wine butter shallots, garlic and parsley broth. Served with fries. Typical French dish that should always be ordered. I think the broth would have been awesome with an extra side of angel hair or any pasta. Husband and I don't like to see anything food wasted, especially this! Delicious! Truite amandine - seared fresh trout, served with green beans, steamed potatoes, and meuniere almond sauce. Very balanced and healthy. Terrine de campagne - homemade pork and duck pate, served with cornichons, pickled shallots, toasted baguette slices. There is nothing better than homemade pate, nothing! For dessert, we chose the cheese plate, with grapes, walnuts, fig jam, toasted baguette. We paired all this with some Bordeaux. C'est magnifique! Truly a meal to remember. We will be coming back sooner rather than later!

The portion is a little small for the price, as you only get a little square. The Japanese Sweet Potatoes ($15) are definitely worth a try. They're cooked super soft and the sauce it is paired with is creamy and spicy, creating such a delicious combination. The grilled salmon ($27) was quite good, and the portion was pretty large. The yogurt sauce on top of the salmon made for a refreshing bite. We ordered a non-alcoholic aperol spritz and a non-alcoholic mimosa, as neither of us wanted to drink on a Monday. The aperol spritz was good, but nothing special. We think the mimosa had alcohol in it, as it had a strong taste of champagne. We decided not to drink it, but definitely double check your drink if this is something that concerns you.
