Worth The Trip

Apetit Bistro, Port Chester (Dinner: Mon-Sun) This French bistro in a “narrow (strip mall) storefront with spartan decor and open kitchen” received a Very Good rating from the New York Times in 2015. Alas, they do dress the place up with white tablecloths and the kitchen is run by Chef Edi Rivera, formerly of Le Penguin in Greenwich, CT. And you can get Escargot en Croute, Canard a l’Orange and a chocolate mousse on the HVRW menu. Who knew? (540A Willett Avenue, Port Chester, 914-690-2000; .appetitbistro.com)

The Cookery, Dobbs Ferry (Lunch: Sat-Sun & Dinner: Tues-Sun) HVRW is the perfect time to get down to Chef DiBari’s creative Italian in Dobbs Ferry. A Westchester Magazine Chef of the Year in 2015, DiBari is a CIA grad who worked in the kitchens of David Bouley and Mario Batali. Famous for his whole pig roasts, Dibari’s Cookery and The Parlor (a nearby wood fired pizza parlor) both earned Excellent reviews from the New York Times. (39 Chestnut Street, Dobbs Ferry, 914.305-2336; www.thecookeryrestaurant.com)

Dubrovnik, New Rochelle (Lunch & Dinner: Mon-Fri & Brunch: Westchester’s first, and only Croatian restaurant, Dubrovnik got a call out from Westchester Magazine in 2018 for their None’s Style Octopus Salad. Here they celebrate the smell of the sea with grilled fish, meat roasts and Croatian classics such as Riblja Juha (fish soup) and Crni Rižoto (Adriatic Cuttlefish Risotto).

Hudson Farmer and The Fish, Sleepy Hollow. (Lunch & Dinner: Mon-Sun & Brunch: Sunday) Chef and farmer Mike Kaphan and fishmonger Ed Taylor of Purdy’s Farmer and the Fish take a page out of Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives with this narrow 45-seater overlooking the Hudson. You won’t get the same menu as Purdy’s Farmer and the Fish but you’ll get the same farm-fresh produce and just caught fish and raw bar. Plus, the river views. If you haven’t been here yet, it’s a fun place to try for HVRW. Bring some friends and get there early. Read our review. (11 River St., Sleepy Hollow, 914.631.8380; www.farmerandthefish.com)

Bocuse, Hyde Park: (Lunch & Dinner: Tues – Sat) HVRW is a great excuse to get up to the Culinary Institute of America. CIA’s French restaurant Bocuse, a 2019 Open Table Diner’s Choice Award winner, is our choice this year. Named after France’s most famous chef, Paul Bocuse, this CIA standout reimagines classic French cuisine through modern cooking techniques. And it’s gorgeous. For a rendezvous with history check out the FDR Museum while you are there. (1946 Campus Dr., (Rt. 9) Hyde Park; www.ciarestaurants.com)

His pedigree runs deep with stints at the James Beard Award-winning The Willows on Lummi Island, WA, Noma Copenhagen, World’s Best Restaurant winner in 2014 and Dan Barber’s Blue Hill at Stone Barns. If you’re not up for the hour and a half ride from Armonk, get a room and a couples massage at this romantic retreat while you are there. (3805 Main St., Stone Ridge, 845.687.0887; www.hasbrouckhouseny.com)

The Artists Palette, Poughkeepsie: Dinner: Mon-Sat: It doesn’t get swankier in Poughkeepsie than this Danish modern charmer in a 1872 Soho style four story. Their regular menu is culinary poetry with all the “silken corn” and “Faroe Island Salmon”, “Braised Pheasant” and “Portuguese Octopus”. Tie in a spring walk across the Walkway Over The Hudson and make this one worth the trip. (307 Main St. Poughkeepsie, 845.483.8074; www,theartistspalette.biz)

Salaire, Port Chester: (Lunch: Wed-Sun & Dinner: Tues-Thurs & Sun) The New York Times gave Les Barnes’ aquaculture emporium an Excellent rating. It’s a favorite of ours for its great industrial renovation in a cathedral ceilinged, hundred year old grain warehouse along the Byram River. And the fish happy menu, with a killer raw bar, is served there or at their cavernous bar/gastro pub that has a contemporary vibe.
