Gypsy Apple Bistro

Top choice


This is an unexpected dining delight in Shelburne Falls. The tiny place artfully blends New England ingredients, French flavors, impeccable service and an inviting atmosphere. The menu is short and sweet – featuring classic dishes like rack of lamb and roasted chicken – but it's all perfectly prepared. The place is small: be sure to reserve.
