About Bistro Maison
Bistro Maison is a French bistro on NE Third Street in downtown McMinnville, the main town of Yamhill County wine country. As the name suggests, it is set in a house, and the gardens and outdoor seating around it are where guests often linger over coffee, dessert or an after-dinner drink. The menu covers classic French bistro cooking with a wine list and a separate list of digestifs, and dinner can also be ordered for takeout.
Dinner is served Tuesday through Saturday from 5 to 9 pm; lunch and brunch are paused for now, so check their website before planning a midday visit. Desserts are a highlight, from crème brûlée, profiteroles and a strawberry Napoleon to a fruit crumble, a trifle and a cheese board. Reservations can be made through their website, and the restaurant takes major credit cards and cash.
For the holidays, the bistro is serving a three-course Thanksgiving dinner on November 26, 2026, with roast turkey, seasonal sides, dessert and optional wine pairings, booked in advance.
Thistle & Bloom, the organic lavender farm on Ladd Hill near Wilsonville, is about 35 minutes east by way of Newberg, so a summer day of U-cut lavender and wine country can end with dinner here.
