Saffron Bistro has received the Best of Nashua Award for 2009 in the restaurant category by the U.S. Commerce Association (USCA).

I can attest to the fact that Saffron Bistro is a great restaurant!

   If you are looking for an elegant, relaxing dining experience without having to drive to Boston, you will want to experience the Saffron Bistro located on Main street in Nashua, New Hampshire.

    The Saffron Bistro opened on June 7, 2007, by two Nashua natives, Benjamin Mercuri and Joe Drift, who is also the chef.  

    Saffron Bistro delivers American Eclectic cuisine with an emphasis on local organic ingredients.  The tantalizing menu changes every 4-6 weeks.

      I have eaten at the Saffron Bistro several times.

     We you arrive, you will be warmly greeted by the staff. The main dining room is intimate with its serene colors, fine linens and stripped upholstery.   The walls are accented with the art of local artists.  

      If you want to start with a drink or network after work, the bar is also very inviting, with a lovely Brazilian hardwood floor, comfortable stools and an imported marble bar counter.  Patrons can enjoy creative and refreshing "martinis" along with more traditional cocktails and drinks.  

     The meal often starts off the evening with delicious appetizer, gratis from the Chef. 

      The last time I visted the Saftron Bistro, I ordered Caramelized Day Boat Sea Scallops  -- 6 large scallops placed around a bed of risotto filled with Maine Lobster and Asparagus Risotto and topped with colorful pea tendrils.  Orange gastrique circled the edges and the scallops were seared with a caramelized orange sauce.

        My husband ordered the Stuffed Frenched Pork Chop.  It was stuffed with spinach, fontina cheese.  Butter Sautéed Fingling Potatoes and Haricot Verts accompanied the pork chop with sauce Robert.

         The wine list is small and relatively inexpensive.  Jonell had great recommendations on which wines would best compliment our entrees.

         Desserts are made fresh daily.   They often include a Passion Fruit Crème Brûlée and a super-rich chocolate version; warm chocolate cake; and a trio of fresh sorbets, including blood orange, passion fruit, and pineapple. "

         Safron Bistro is located at 80 Main Street in Nashua. Closed Sunday and Monday, and open for lunch Tuesday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and for dinner Tuesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.  (603) 883-2100 www.thesaffronbistro.com.
