La Panetière, located in lower Westchester County,
was opened in 1986. The structure of the building dates back
to the 1800's and was the home of a ship builder.
The restaurant's ambiance and decor focuses
entirely on "Provence": this part of the world thought
after for its typical folklore. Therefore you will notice
that from furniture to china to terra cotta to santons all
come from this area epitomized by a "Panetière"
(the bread cabinet) symbolizing a warm house welcome.
The cuisine is contemporary french, and the
dishes change with the season reflecting upon products purchased
from market-gardeners, fishermen, free-range poultry farmers,
and other purveyors who deserve the respect of their authentic
products.
The dining room on the first floor is separated
by hand-painted fresco arches, supported by original beams,
and furnished with a working buffet, paintings, and tapestries
giving it the feel of an Auberge.
The second floor dining
room has been built with a greenhouse effect, giving it a
feeling of open spaciousness. This room is mostly used for
private parties and can accommodate up to 50 persons. There
is also on the same floor a smaller private room that can
accommodate up to 16 persons.
