La Bastide by Andrea Calstier

Head to this modern farmhouse in Westchester where a soothing design perfectly complements sweeping views of the surrounding pastoral landscape. Chef Andrea Calstier and General Manager Elena Oliver bring warmth and polish to an intimate dining room with only a handful of tables, all centered around a tasting menu deeply inspired by the south of France and the chef’s upbringing in Marseille. The cooking blends contemporary technique with Provençal soul, whether in a delicate socca topped with chickpeas and preserved lemon, or a refined interpretation of bouillabaisse rich with saffron and seafood. Elsewhere, dry-aged hake with razor clams and English peas showcases the kitchen’s restraint and precision, while desserts, particularly those highlighting peak-season fruit, reveal an especially elegant touch.
