Who we are :

With more than 11 properties and 900 employees, the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group (TKRG) has grown from one restaurant to a large family of businesses.

TKRG proudly represents The French Laundry, Per Se, The Surf Club Restaurant, Bouchon Bistro, Bouchon Bakery, Ad Hoc, La Calenda and Regiis Ova Restaurant & Lounge.

The properties and people Chef Keller inspires are known for setting new standards in cuisine, service and employment experiences.

Our goal is to collaborate with talented restaurant professionals and offer opportunities to learn and grow within the hospitality profession.

As we have expanded over time, the expectations that set apart our restaurants have not changed : ensuring that every guest feels special, and every guest experience is exceptional.

A guest can walk into The French Laundry or one of the Bouchon Bakeries and have the most enjoyable, unique and memorable experience.

A chef will find the same blue aprons and green tape in each of our kitchens symbols of a common striving for excellence.

Outside the kitchens, every action we take must reflect the generosity, nurturing and finesse within. As members of the TKRG family, we have the responsibility to ensure this consistency.

Beyond it all is a mission, perhaps summed up best by Chef Keller himself. To make people happy, one guest at a time, he says.

That is what cooking is all about.
