The Bonnefont
Located just a few minutes walk from The Met Cloisters museum,
home to The Met's medieval collection, The Bonnefont, or “the
good source", was named after the medieval cloister and herb
garden here, as well as its town of origin in France.
The Bonnefont features "FreNoCal," a distinctive French
à-la Northern California cuisine created by Executive Chef/Owner
Nicole O'Brien, a nod to her Sonoma County wine country roots.
Libations feature a carefully curated selection of wines from small
producers in the United States and France; unusual liquors such as
single malt scotch from France; and unique small craft beers. For
weddings and special events, Chef Nicole will work with you to
create a special menu, including non-alcoholic and special dietary
requests. Both plated and buffet-style options are available.
