★ Chef Lena Marsh · Hudson NY
The Kitchen
A quiet kitchen,
A quiet kitchen,
a long conversation
with what grows nearby.
Alouette is small on purpose. Thirty-eight seats, one open kitchen, two seatings a night. We cook for the room in front of us, and the menu shifts each week with the farms that supply it. Letterbox, Hearty Roots, Black Horse, and a handful of foragers who text us by sundown.
"We want to make California cooking that belongs to the Hudson Valley. Not borrowed from it."
Chef Lena Marsh trained under Thomas Keller at Per Se before spending four years as sous chef at Atelier Crenn in San Francisco. She opened Alouette in 2018 with sommelier David Reyes, a candidate for the Master Sommelier diploma, in a converted 1890s townhouse on Warren Street.
