The Berkshires deeply rooted food culture is evident in its regional cuisine. Chefs have access to delicious local produce, meats, and dairy and expertly craft these seasonal offerings into delectable plates. The fields and farms of the Berkshires are more than a scenic landscape, they produce the tastiest seasonal offerings that give guests a taste of place and an opportunity to taste the Berkshires.

Pera Bistro
Pera Bistro’s demure exterior houses memorable meals prepared with luxurious Mediterranean flavors and local ingredients. Pera’s cuisine is unpretentious exotic – can you say lamb burger? Or whole grilled bronzini?
