RendezVous owner, Michel Baudouin, grew up on a 200-year-old farm near Lyon, France. His mother had a reputation as a great cook; so, he decided he wanted to bring that same kind of French home cooking to Asheville.
After many years downtown at Bouchon, and after befriending many of the locals, Michel wanted to give a little something back. So, when the opportunity for another little farm house-style restaurant came about, he bought a church in Haw Creek. This restaurant is away from the busyness of downtown, in a quiet neighborhood, where the locals can come and relax without worrying about parking, or hurrying to beat the crowd.
There are Petanque courts to play on, there will be chickens to take care of, and wonderful French comfort food to dine on. We hope you enjoy it as much as he does.
