Mistral

Located in the heart of downtown Princeton, Mistral, with its fast pace and energetic vibe, offers a stunning mix of taste, style and atmosphere.

At Mistral, chef de cuisine Ben Nerenhausen consistently turns out inventive cuisine that's intended to be savored and shared amongst friends. He takes lead from the Earth when developing Mistral's menu, expressing seasonal ingredients in fresh and inventive ways and executes dishes that are as visually inviting as they are delicious. In Spring 2015, New York Magazine's "Grub Street" included Mistral in its piece "103 Beautiful Dishes: The Most Visually Exciting Food in America Right Now," which showcased the 'splendor' and 'eye-popping precision' dispatched by the team.

In May 2015, Mistral expanded its offering to include a full service bar, with a diverse offering of craft beers, wines and cocktails masterminded by the restaurant's lead mixologist, Jamie Dodge.
