La Cigogne

Nestled on Main Street in the historic village of Narrowsburg, La Cigogne is a true Alsatian bistro that transports diners to the heart of Strasbourg without leaving the Catskills. Owner‑chef Damien, a native of Strasbourg, curates a menu that celebrates classic dishes such as coq au Riesling, hearty sauerkraut, delicate quiches, and a fragrant bouillabaisse, all prepared with locally sourced ingredients. The interior evokes a cozy Alsatian home: a stone fireplace dominates the dining room, a long bar invites guests to sip Riesling, Gewürztraminer, or Pinot Noir from the carefully selected Alsatian wine list, and intimate booths provide a quiet nook for conversation. Outside, a seasonal deck offers sunset views over the Delaware River, perfect for a relaxed dinner or a lively happy‑hour gathering. La Cigogne also serves as a flexible event space, comfortably seating up to 140 guests for weddings or private parties, with a reduced capacity of 90 during colder months. Large‑group prix‑fixe menus and family‑style options are available, and the staff can coordinate catering, décor, and entertainment through trusted local vendors. While the bistro embraces its French roots, the energy of nearby New York City adds a cosmopolitan flair, making it a beloved spot for locals, tourists, and weekend travelers seeking authentic European comfort food in a welcoming, rustic setting.
