While many classic lasagna meals might seem incomplete without heaps of cheese or red sauce, Bouchon Bistro is a French-inspired casual dining bistro with locations in California and Nevada that puts a sophisticated spin on the look and taste of this dish.
The restaurant's Black Truffle Lasagne with Cipollini Onions and Truffle Mousseline is precisely cut into a rectangle that is topped with ingredients that are more than just a feast for the eyes. This upscale take on lasagna elevates it from an ordinary Italian classic to a premium menu item.
Bouchon Bistro's Black Truffle Lasagna was one of the menu items served at this year's Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Other items on the party menu for celebrities from Bouchon Bistro included fried chicken nuggets, chicken pot pies and miniature corndogs.
