Located at 12 Village Road in New Vernon, the Village Bistro supports local farmers by using locally produced ingredients and employing a farm to table model. “We are very passionate about the quality of food we prepare for our guests,” said Karen who truly cares about preparing equally healthy and hearty food for every- one who walks through the front door. Village Bistro’s menu changes quarterly with the seasons to offer fresh dining options includ- ing wholesome baked goods and pre-packaged meals to go. “This local place with ‘small town’ feel seems on track to become a local culinary jewel.
