La Bastide: A Taste Of Provence, One Hour From New York City
View of the dining room from the patio at La Bastide, North Salem, New York La Bastide/ In less than a year, La Bastide by Andrea Calstier, a fine dining experience in North Salem, New York, earned a Michelin star. Such early recognition, like this, is uncommon but not surprising to those who have dined at this bespoke, six-table restaurant in northern Westchester. Chef Andrea Calstier and General Manager Elena Oliver, a husband-wife team, own the restaurant and its sister property, Cenadou Bistrot. Two perfectionists, the couple has brought their abundant talents, creativity, love of Provencal cooking, and moxie to America. North Salem (Westchester County), incorporated as a town in 1788, is only about one hour from Manhattan. But its tree-lined two-lane roads and rolling hills, punctuated by lakes, rivers and reservoirs, offer the vibe of a place much farther away from the bustling city. Soon after arriving at La Bastide, guests are led to a comfortable seating area on a stone patio outside the glass door of the dining room. The pairing of aperitifs and canapés, accompanied by views of the bucolic countryside and herb garden in the backyard, feels transportative. The intimate dining room is as picture-perfect as the outdoors. Well-spaced, round tables accommodate parties of no more than six persons each, so the room never feels crowded. 'This is a very personal space where we spend much of our time,' says Elena. 'We want our guests to feel like we are welcoming them to our home.' Careful thought has gone into the design and decor. An open kitchen on one side of the room allows guests to watch the careful final plating of each dish, while the other side features a striking, contemporary wine wall. 'The open kitchen offers an air of transparency and allows us to feel connected to our diners,' says Calstier. The chairs and tablecloths are made of fine Italian leather. The tableware includes custom ceramics by Esther Kwon and knives from blacksmith Coutellerie du Panier, from the couple's hometown in Marseille. Also featured are porcelains from Studio Matte, Belgium, and French Limoges from Jacque Pergay. The Journey From France To North Salem Elena Oliver and Chef Andrea Calstier La Bastide Chef Calstier has a noble culinary lineage. He began cooking at age 15 and trained in some of France's most esteemed Michelin-starred kitchens, including Christophe Bacquie's La Table du Castellet in Provence and L'Abbaye de la Bussiere in Burgundy. In 2017, the young chef seized an opportunity to work in the kitchen of celebrated Chef Daniel Boulud at Restaurant Daniel in New York City. Elena, his soulmate since high school, joined him on this foray. The chef describes the year he spent working at Daniel's as becoming 'part of a family." There, he not only honed his culinary skills but built his confidence and developed connections. It also gave him the opportunity to learn English from the brigade in the kitchen. Within a year, the couple signed a lease for a very tiny dining space and opened their own French bistro, Papilles, in the East Village. The fearless chef was only 23 then. In that small space, Elena was able to elevate her management skills, and the restaurant achieved immediate success. 'It taught us how to become proper restaurant owners,' he says. 'Learning how to hire, inspire, attract, and mentor staff is what sets chefs apart from cooks.' When a partner of Chef Boulud introduced the couple to the North Salem property, they were smitten by the area and knew it offered more possibilities than they could possibly achieve in New York City. 'The region resonated with us because it would more fully allow us to express ourselves,' says Calstier. La Bastide: Impeccable Cuisine and Service Hors d'oeuvres at La Bastide, North Salem, NY La Bastide/ After a year and a half of renovation, La Bastide opened its doors in February 2024. Although it was difficult to fill the dining room at first, perseverance, consistency and staying true to their vision helped them achieve the Michelin star that 'put the restaurant on the map.' The chef's training in classical French cooking enabled him to set aside his ego. But it allows him to innovate and create dishes that showcase the foods rather than the technique. 'We think about the customer experience at every stage of the meal,' he says. While the cuisine at La Bastide pays homage to the couple's roots in Provence, the menu is seasonal, sometimes even microseasonal, capitalizing on the rich bounty the Hudson Valley offers. The chef adapts classic Provencal recipes, including those his grandmother used to prepare, and is inspired by meeting with local farmers in the area to see what they are cultivating. 'The menu is 80% seafood, even if it is only to complement a vegetable dish, because there is so much amazing seafood on the East Coast from Maine to Long Island to New Jersey,' he says. 'In terms of high-quality products, we've never felt limited by the supply.' Currently, the restaurant offers tasting menus at two seatings, 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM, Wednesday through Sunday. Diners have the option of an additional cheese course and/or wine pairing. Sommelier David Berube, who also worked for Chef Boulud, has curated a Wine Spectator award-winning list of 600 French regional wines for the restaurant. Service is seamless, thanks to a well-trained, attentive, and knowledgeable team. From the amuse-bouche to the appetizers, and from the moment the waitstaff lifts the silver domes from the entrées in unison, every dish offers a profusion of delightful flavors presented with artistry and flair. Fabulous desserts (like the popular chocolate with goat cheese) provide the proverbial icing on the cake, leaving sweet memories of an excellent meal. Cenadou Bistrot: More Casual, But Also Not To Be Missed Welcoming bar at Cenadou The more casual, 50-seat Cenadou Bistrot is co-located in the same building as La Bastide, one floor above the fine dining restaurant. Like its sibling, its menu reflects a fusion of delectable influences from Provence and the Hudson Valley. Diners can choose from hors d'oeuvres, charcuterie, mains like Steak Frites, cheeses, and more. The room also offers views of the surrounding landscape and features a welcoming bar (with a limited bar menu). The Bistrot first opened in June 2023. Extremely popular with locals, it has even received glowing accolades from Martha Stewart, who held a holiday party there for her staff. This dining room can stand on its own excellence and only pales when compared to the elegance of La Bastide. La Bastide: A Bastion Of True Hospitality La Bastide is a truly unique restaurant, perfect for a special occasion or for making any occasion special. Many guests choose to enjoy a special dinner at the restaurant and return the following day for a more casual lunch at Cenadou. Elena is always pleased to provide recommendations for nearby boutique hotels and small inns. She aptly describes the destination as 'a perfect getaway that offers the feel of being somewhere in France.' After a visit, the most lasting impression of La Bastide, beyond the exceptional food and ambiance, is the genuine warmth, hospitality, and dedication of the owners. 'If you believe in what you want to do, you don't have to compromise,' says Chef Calstier. IF YOU GO La Bastide By Andrea Calstier 721 Titicus Road, North Salem, New York, (914) 485-1519

Musician Points Out Beautiful, Unknown Canadian Destinations
Canadian singer-songwriter Matt Andersen has lived and now lives in unique Canadian towns unknown to most Americans. Matt Andersen Singer-songwriter Matt Andersen has lived in many unique Canadian cities and towns that few Americans are familiar with. American travelers looking for new destinations may want to absorb his knowledge. Andersen, who recently released a new album The Hammer & The Rose , grew up in Perth-Andover, a tiny town that has since been incorporated into Southern Victoria in New Brunswick, Canada. Perth-Andover has about 1,500 residents and is about a 2-hour-and-40-minute drive northwest of Saint John, the province's largest city. The Saint John River runs through Perth-Andover, dividing the Perth side from the Andover side. 'Perth-Andover is quiet and serence and in a beautiful part of the Saint John River Valley,' says Andersen who will be performing August 17 at Mountain Stage in Charleston, West Virginia. 'If you're looking for hustle and bustle, this might not be for you. The area is full of charm that used to bore me as a kid, but now I wish more and more that I could spend my time there. Home cooked meals, local produce and mechanics that won't try to rip you off, because you're from out of town. It's very much a-less-is-more kind of place.' The beauty of the Annapolis Valley vineyards is apparent near Wolfville; Nova Scotia, where singer-songwriter Matt Andersen lives. (Photo by: Dave Reede/Design Pics Editorial/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) Design Pics Editorial/Universal Images Group via Getty Images Explore NB, New Brunswick's tourism department, calls Perth-Andover the place 'where people and trails meet' in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. Visitors can enjoy many experiences there, the department says. 'Take the self-guided Cultural Walkway tour for a glimpse into the area's Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) English and Scottish heritage,' Explore NB says. 'Depending on the season, you can explore the area with hiking, biking or cross-country skiing excursions on three local trail systems: the International Appalachian Trail, the Trans Canada Trail and the Sentier NB Trail.' The village also sits near great hunting, fishing and wilderness areas, according to the tourism department. Every Saturday in the summer, a local farmers market features 'the best of the region's lands, woods and waters.' Perth-Andover, Andersen says, also hosts some 'world-class events,' including the Larlee Creek Hullabaloo music festival and The Gathering of the Scots, an annual celebration of Scottish culture with various competitions. 'I threw my first caber (a young tree trunk) there many years ago and was part of the evening's entertainment,' Andersen says about The Gathering of the Scots. 'It has since turned into a holdfast in the Highland Games circuit.' Visitors should eat and stay, Explore NB says, at the 13-guestroom Pathsaala Inn & Restaurant, 'a castle-style manor.' If you are going to a festival or just visiting, don't miss Carl's Dairy Bar, Andersen says. 'This place has been here since I was a kid and beyond I assume,' he says. 'The onion rings are the best, and I'm a sucker for the chicken roll.' The Tobique River Trading Company is worth a stop to pick up some local beers and roasted coffee, Andersen says. It is located in a century-old building on a bank of the Saint John River. A few years ago, a four-lane highway was built, and it has provided some apparently unexpected benefits for locals, Andersen says. 'The benefit of the new highway is that the old Trans Canada Highway is left alone to the locals,' he says. 'You can drive along the Saint John River and take in its splendor without having to worry about a car riding your bumper while trying to get a prized lobster trap home.' About a 40-minute drive northeast of Perth-Andover is Plaster Rock, a town that hosts the World Pond Hockey Championships. 'It is just what it sounds like,' Andersen remarks. 'Teams from all over the world compete in the tournament that takes place on a frozen lake. It's about as Canadian as you can get.' The Tobique River flows through Plaster Rock and is known for its fishing and wildlife. 'If you visit at the right time of year, you can go on the hunt for fiddleheads—a local fern that lands on supper plates every spring,' Andersen says. 'You'll love them or hate them, though it is commonly agreed that the best way to love them is with more than the daily recommended dose of butter and a few splashes of vinegar.' About a 40-minute drive south of Perth-Andover, the town of Hartland is home to the world's longest covered bridge. The Hartland Covered Bridge is about 427 yards long and opened uncovered, according to Parks Canada, in 1901. A spring ice jam washed out two spans in 1920. By early 1922, the bridge was repaired and fully covered, with a walkway added in the 1940s. A six-minute drive from the bridge is the home of Covered Bridge Potato Chips, which offers tours and sells more than 30 types of chips in its gift shop. 'They make some of the best kettle-style chips,' Andersen says. 'Go for the creamy dill.' Nearby is the McCain Foods factory in Florenceville. The company, known globally for its French fries, has annual revenues of $16 billion Canadian, according to the company's website. 'I worked there in my days before going full-time as a musician,' Andersen recalls. 'You're in potato country now. Stop into Potato World to see where McCain's products are sent all over the world and dig into some fresh-cooked French fries.' Potato World says it is 'two acres of state-of-the-art hands-on displays, educational video theaters and antique machinery. Finish off your visit with tasty fries, baked potato soup, chocolate potato cake, potato smoothie and many more tasty treats!' Abot a six-hour drive from the factory where he once worked, Andersen lives today in another province, Nova Scotia. He resides in Wolfville, about an hour's drive north of Halifax. 'Like many moves people make, I followed my heart to Wolfville,' he explains. 'Got it broke and found another reason to stay. It has become home over the last 20 years.' Wolfville is nestled in the Annapolis Valley. 'It's where our vineyards are and a good portion of our farmland,' Andersen says. 'From spring to fall, we're spoiled with an abundance of fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables. The road to my house is lined with roadside stands with produce at the end of the driveways and a cash box and a price list. We're spoiled.' About a 35-minute drive north of Wolfville, Andersen recommends visitors go to Cape Split Provincial Park. 'Cape Split is a gorgeous hike that will give you beautiful views of the Bay of Fundy,' he exclaims. Why does one prefer living in Wolfville over Halifax, a city teeming with local musicians? 'I'm a country kid,' Andersen replies. 'I grew up with great neighbors, but you'd have to dig out the binoculars to get a good look at them. Wolfville still has lots of space. I live on a seven-acre lot. It's quiet when you need quiet and dark when you need dark. The supply of local produce and meat is a huge plus. We know where our money is going when we drop it into the boxes by the road. My place is only about 45 minutes to Halifax or the airport. That's perfect by me.'
