French bistro serving elevated classics with Provençal touches
"Set in North Salem with large windows framing lush greenery, Cenadou—named after the Provençal word for “dining room”—is warm and welcoming with crisp white walls, dark wood tables and royal blue chairs, and it shares the address with sibling La Bastide one level down. The menu leans on French bistro classics updated with Provençal touches: poached vegetables with a warm aioli emulsion and a rack of lamb over smoked eggplant purée with olive tapenade, lamb jus and herb oil; even dessert surprises, from a baba au rhum given a tableside pour of rum to a dollop of Earl Grey whipped cream." - The MICHELIN Guide
"This French spot in a rebuilt farmhouse bordering Connecticut is a good place to watch chefs stir mushrooms into risotto just so, and maybe have a Martha Stewart sighting. Dishes walk the fine line of rich ingredients and moderate-sized plates that’ll leave you satisfied but not stuffed, though if you want splurge in both price and portion, there’s a grilled wagyu with bone marrow for two that you’ll see on tables across the dining room. The crowd is as well dressed at the plates here, and it seems everyone has perfected the art of being casual and glamorous all at once." - mike wasserman

We think Cenadou is worth the trip up north, but if you’re looking for a French bistro in Westchester and don’t want to head all the way up county, check out Saint George in Harrison." - mike wasserman
