Cenadou Bistrot, North Salem

[GerryOlds2TheReturnofGerry]

Lovely little restaurant in northern Westchester on a quiet country road. I can't speak to La Bastide, the Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant in the basement (which felt a lot less lively than the upstairs dining room), but Cenadou was great. The menu reads fairly standard bistro, but with some flourishes and attention to detail that feel creative in an unstuffy way and generally pay off. Props too to the pastry team, who aren't phoning it in.
