Chez Albert

"Nestled past the busy streets of Northampton and the rolling farmlands of Hadley is the historic town of Amherst. Against this backdrop of higher learning and artistic endowment you’ll find the quaint French bistro, Chez Albert (located at 27 South Pleasant St. across from the Amherst Town Hall and Common.) Chez Albert prides itself in serving organic local ingredients from small farms and epicurean artisans. Chef Paul Hathaway’s seasonal menus and daily specials blend his philosophy of simplicity and fresh flavors with regionally inspired French cuisine. Complementing the food is Chez Albert’s wine list, which emphasizes small artisan producers whose styles harmonize with Chef Hathaway’s flavors. The dining room provides a warm and intimate setting reminiscent of a Paris bistro. With gracious hospitality, inspired cuisine, and carefully selected wines, Chez Albert is an experience like no other in the valley."
