At Bistro Avera, every dish is a reflection of a lifelong passion for fine dining, brought to you by Stephen Pusateri. After years of dreaming about a venue of his own, Stephen, alongside his wife Janelle, opened Bistro Avera to bring a piece of that dream to the heart of Lewiston. Named thoughtfully after their children, Vera and Ariane, and just before their third daughter Stevie’s arrival, Bistro Avera is more than just a restaurant; it’s a family’s promise to offer meticulously crafted dishes in a setting that feels like home. Here, we celebrate the joy of sharing food that tells a story, designed to bring people together and create lasting memories.
