“Yankee’s editors and our trusted legion of travel writers select our Editors’ Choice winners,” says Yankee editor Mel Allen. “From their own experiences and tips from our readers, they research and find the most deserving establishments in New England. Recipients range from the rustic to the refined, but all are noteworthy and memorable destinations,” he added.
Spotlighting the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts, Yankee Magazine describes Mezze Bistro + Bar as follows: “This urbane restaurant's refined wood-beamed and white-linen interior is the go-to spot for Williamstown Theatre Festival patrons and other loyal fans of dramatically good bistro fare. Deceptively simple yet full-flavored local lamb and beef draw rave reviews, and come apple season, it'd be downright criminal to miss the textbook rendition of tarte tatin.”
Opened in February 1996, Mezze Bistro + Bar serves New American cuisine focusing on the bounty of the region – local, farm-fresh produce, meats, cheeses and breads. The food is handcrafted by Chef Joji Sumi, who takes great care to provide local and seasonal ingredients paired alongside seasonal and small-production wines. Emphasis is on the highest quality ingredients combined with creative alchemy in the kitchen. In addition to Yankee Magazine’s recognition, Mezze Bistro + Bar has been called “Williamstown's hot spot” by Fodor’s Guide and “the town's best restaurant” by TimeOut NY.
Mezze Bistro + Bar will also be recommended on YankeeMagazine.com.
