Damon Baehrel aka The Basement Bistro, serving Farm To Table cuisine, is located at 776 Route 45 in Earlton, NY 12058, Greene County in the upper-Hudson Valley. From Damon Baehrel: "Located in beautiful rural Greene County in the Upper Hudson Valley region of New York State, Damon Baehrel is a truly one-of-a-kind 20 seat restaurant/property. Located in the basement of Damon and Elizabeth Baehrel's home in Earlton, NY, Damon Baehrel (formally known as Damon Baehrel at The Basement Bistro) was established in 1989 to showcase their former catering business, Sagecrest Catering. The restaurant quickly took on a life of it's own, and has become a destination for food enthusiasts from around the world, who often wait several years to secure a reservation.
"Damon works completely alone in the restaurant, and on the surrounding 12 acre property, which is the ONLY source of ingredients, Native & Cultivated, that Damon utilizes in his original Native Harvest Cuisine. In addition to preparing dozens of varieties of his own homemade aged cheeses, cured meats, flours, vinegars, pressed oils, butters and breads on premise, Chef/Grower Baehrel hand prepares and serves every course of his daily changing multi-course Tasting Menu, which takes about 4-5 hours to experience, and is the only dining format offered. Damon also serves as the wine specialist and enjoys offering many hand crafted older vintages that are part of his collection.
Restaurant ReviewCuisine = Farm To TableHealthy restaurants Local, Natural & Organic options History of Damon Baehrel "Chef/Grower Damon Baehrel is completely self taught: he has no formal culinary training or education. His sauces are organic vegetable based and free of butter and dairy. All sorbets, gelati and ices are free of sugar, and many of the charcuterie and meat courses are brined, cured and prepared over weeks and months without salting." "The organic soil that is the basis of all plantings is completely bio-dynamic; composted from natural vegetation originating on the property and is constructed by Damon. Composting these organic materials generates a rich and fertile natural environment in which these plantings grow and thrive." The word is This dining experience is out of the ordinary with many saying "the best meal I've ever had". Each course is superb, accompanied by warm hospitality; the meal is prepared from produce on Chef Damon's farm with meat sourced from a neighboring farm. Call for prices as restaurant is expensive and reservations must be made well in advance - if any are available at the time.
