In celebration of Bastille Day, l’abeille is honored to welcome Michelin-starred La Bastide by Andrea Calstier for an exclusive one-night collaboration showcasing two distinctive expressions of contemporary French cuisine.
Founded by Chef Andrea Calstier and Elena Oliver, La Bastide has become one of the region’s most celebrated destinations for French gastronomy, earning recognition for its unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, hospitality, and a deep connection to the traditions of Provence. Much like l’abeille, the restaurant embraces a philosophy centered on seasonality, respect for ingredients, and thoughtful ex*****on, creating a natural dialogue between the two kitchens.
For this special evening, Chef Andrea Calstier will join Chef Mitsunobu Nagae in presenting a collaborative tasting menu inspired by the spirit of Bastille Day. Guests can expect a journey through the flavors and techniques that define modern French cuisine, drawing inspiration from Provence, New York’s Hudson Valley, and the refined French-Japanese sensibility that has become a hallmark of l’abeille.
Bringing together two chefs who share a dedication to precision, restraint, and ingredient-driven cooking, this dinner celebrates not only France’s national holiday but also the enduring evolution of French gastronomy. Offered for one night only, the experience presents a rare opportunity to experience the cuisine of La Bastide in New York City while exploring the unique perspectives of two chefs united by a common respect for tradition and excellence.
