New York may be limited in eat-in places right now, but that does not mean the food choices are not still great. Mount Kisco has some excellent restaurants and diners. Even if you are eating in, we encourage everyone to support their local business. We do here at SERVPRO. Here are some of our favorite food places.

Mount Kisco Coach Diner

Diners are the hidden treasures of the restaurant world. Smaller than a typical restaurant they provide down-home, delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. This eatery has a traditional diner look and serves up generous portions to its loyal customers. They have a wide array of dishes, and the desserts are scrumptious. If you enjoy typical diner food, you will like this restaurant.

The Turk

Mediterranean food is what is on the menu at this restaurant. The lamb kabobs are a favorite, and they even make lamb tacos. Their pita bread is served fresh out of the oven and pairs nicely with their hummus. Music is played on traditional Turkish instruments, which really adds to the ambiance. And if you are a rice pudding fan, that alone is worth the trip. The baklava is right up there with the rice pudding. You might even want to skip the meal and just enjoy the desserts!

La Tulipe Desserts

While not a restaurant, this bakery deserves to be listed as one of the amazing places to get delicious delicacies in Mount Kisco. It is a French-style bakery, filled with:

•   Pastries

You can also get cakes and many other specialty items such as pain de mie and brioche. They are well known for their opera cakes. They carry a lovely selection of croissants, with the almond being a local favorite. 

Kisco River Eatery

If you want a higher-end experience, this restaurant is an excellent choice. They offer up some fantastic choices such as salmon and chicken caprice, but you can also get burgers and chicken wings. They have a happy hour menu, which is nice. It is a great place to go with friends and family and enjoy a delicious meal while relaxing in a wonderful atmosphere.

Little Crepe Street

This homey little restaurant serves up a yummy array of crepes. You can get dessert crepes or savory. They have gluten-free crepe options as well. They also offer salads and other dishes.

SERVPRO Provides Fire Restoration Services to Mount Kisco

Smoke is prevalent even with small fires. The type of smoke can vary and present itself in different colors. The smoke color can be an indication of what fire restoration processes may be needing during the clean-up. The colors usually seen are:

•   White smoke
•   Grey smoke
•   Black smoke

Smoke consists of different substances which contribute to the color. White smoke is made up of high content of water vapor or aerosols. This can mean widespread wet smoke residues on the surface. Black smoke can indicate synthetic material, a highly volatile fire, or incomplete combustion of materials helping to fuel the fire.
