🌟 Restaurant of the Week 🌟

Cenadou Bistrot (North Salem)
Cenadou Bistrot brings polished French bistro fare to North Salem without losing warmth or personality. The intimate, energetic space—with an open kitchen and closely packed tables—feels distinctly Parisian.

Highlights include foie gras terrine with rhubarb chutney, moules à la provençale, and a perfectly flaky sea bass, capped off by profiteroles for dessert. Cocktails hold their own too, like the Nougat, mixing vodka, bell pepper, and Crémant.

A fantastic gem in Northern Westchester.
