Rank 5. Apropos Restaurant & Bar
Traditional American
In a converted 120-year-old abbey overlooking the Hudson, Apropos serves traditional fare with conviction: lamb ragù clinging to pappardelle, petite filet with green peppercorn sauce, pannacotta with moscato and apricot-chili preserve.

Rank 7. La Bastide by Andrea Calstier
Modern French
A modern farmhouse in Westchester opens onto pastoral vistas where Chef Andrea Calstier and his wife Elena Oliver orchestrate an intimate tasting rooted in Provençal memory.

-
A white farmhouse on working farmland serves seafood anchored by ingredients grown, smoked, and cured steps away—seared scallops arrive with house-cured bacon and a fried egg, while pea martinis taste of the surrounding fields.

-
Rank 10. Cenadou
Modern French
A bright, plant-framed room lined with royal blue chairs and dark wood, where French bistro foundations meet Provençal sensibility.

Rank 11. Badageoni
Central Asian
Mount Kisco locals crowd this Georgian kitchen for its rustic hospitality and the kind of food that feels both unfamiliar and instantly right.
