AT THE HEART OF LATITUDE 44°
French-trained technique, thoughtful ingredients, and a distinctly personal approach to American cuisine.
Latitude 44° Bistro brings together carefully prepared food, thoughtful hospitality, and a relaxed setting designed for everything from a quick drink to a long dinner with friends.
Our menus are built around fresh ingredients, precise preparation, and the kind of dishes that feel considered without feeling overworked. Alongside lunch and dinner service, guests can enjoy seasonal specials, cocktails and mocktails, a full-service bar, and patio dining when the weather allows.
The restaurant is designed to feel polished, welcoming, and easy to settle into, whether you’re joining us for a casual meal, celebrating something special, or simply stopping in because you want a really good meal.
For private gatherings of up to 35 guests, the Meridian Room offers a dedicated space for celebrations, meetings, and special events. For larger gatherings, the entire restaurant is available for private rental, with catering available both on-site and off-site.

About The Chef & Founder
David Allen, Chef and owner of Latitude 44° Bistro and graduate of the New England Culinary Institute (NECI), is an accomplished professional in his field. He cut his teeth at five-star restaurants like Breakers of West Palm Beach and Lutece at The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. These transformative experiences meant more to the young Chef than most. Having been raised in the foster care system and left to make his own way at the age of 16, David’s course in life could have had a very different outcome. After High School and thanks to a neighbor and mentor, David attended a tour of NECI which led him to enroll and graduate, shaping his future indefinitely.
A local to the North Country, David returned and began his ascent to restaurant ownership by first working at local restaurants here in Plattsburgh. These experiences helped him understand his audience and allowed him to experiment and learn what flavors locals liked best.
After years of working for others, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came together that would allow David to open his own restaurant. He took hold of his dreams and made them a reality.
Chef David Allen opened Latitude 44° Bistro on May 15, 2012 hoping to bring new and fresh cuisine to Plattsburgh. Patrons of his restaurant enjoy his passion for flavors and beautiful presentation skills in a comfortable bistro setting. A mesh of American cuisine from a French trained Chef results in unique pairings and bold flavors artfully presented every time.
