Mamaroneck Restaurant Guide

Chef Alain Bennouna offers a new understanding of Mediterranean cuisine with his restaurant, Zitoune (voted by Westchester Magazine's Best Mediterranean Restaurant 2009). The word Mediterranean means "Middle of the Earth". This is because the Mediterranean Sea lines the coasts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, collecting the various traditions and recipes into a sea of cultural exchange that has been stewing for centuries. The saturation point can be found in Morocco. Zitoune demonstrates the sum of these influences, offering a wide, sophisticated, and healthy menu complete with fresh seafood dishes, tender meat tagines, and many vegetarian options all spiced with the flavors of the world, but never actually spicy. Together with the creative cocktail menu, lavish décor, and attentive staff, this makes Zitoune a great place to travel for the night.
