La Bastide by Andrea Calstier

Grown especially fond of isolated, hyper-seasonal fine-dining spots in rural settings over the past year. Chef Calstier originally drew inspiration from southern France when he opened, and while North Salem isn’t exactly a postcard backdrop, the restaurant still felt intimate and romantic. Ingredient-wise, there wasn’t a whole lot of narrative to unpack. It’s winter, and at this price point it’s probably hard to justify a menu built largely around hearty comfort dishes (which is usually the reality of a cold-season tasting menu). Still, the overall composition was solid, and several elements throughout the courses worked particularly well. Bouillabaisse - The prawn head flavor was worked directly into the broth, which gave the stew a deep aroma without overwhelming the flavors. Black bas

An excellent dining experience worthy of its Michelin star and hopefully more to come. Having planned a trip to come to the area for Blue Hill two Michelin star restaurant but was unable to get a reservation. So instead I found La Bastide and cen dou which was there more casual restaurant which was also great. The overall service and dining experience at La Bastide was top notch and on par with other two and three Michelin star restaurants we’ve been to. Will definitely be tracking back to dine here.

The outdoor patio was beautiful and it was nice to have tea and the beginning bites out there. The white asparagus course and strawberry dessert course were my favorites. Along with the cheese course. A wide variety of cheeses from which you can choose from or have the waiter pick for you. The first couple of dishes did take a noticeable amount of time to come out but enjoyable experience nonetheless

We had the distinct pleasure of dining at La Bastide last Friday. It certainly lived up to its having one Michelin star. The food was outstanding, the decor beautiful and the sommelier extremely helpful. It’s pricey but worth every penny!

Exceptional dinner for a special occasion. Intimate dining room. Fantastic service. Everyone so kind and went above and beyond to find out answers to questions etc. Food was phenomenal, with a lot of delayed timers of flavors. Something may start sweet with citrus, but end savory. So excited for the future of Westchester dining. Thank you to the team.
