La Panetière
530 Milton Rd; 914.967.8140
Say “bonjour” to brunch at this fine-dining, contemporary French restaurant housed in a historic home. Served Sundays only, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., the $45 prix-fixe brunch starts with a basket of viennoiseries (baked goods).
Then, choose one from appetizers, such as baked escargots in garlic custard or cream of butternut squash soup, and one main (egg-topped croque madame or poached eggs in red-wine sauce, for example). End with a coconut piña colada éclair. Did we mention the menu includes a complimentary Bloody Mary or a glass of wine of prosecco?
