Micheline is the creation of Jonathan Aubrey, a Scarsdale native and former chef from Eleven Madison Park, whose background blends French heritage with international culinary experience. The restaurant’s name and branding are rooted in a thoughtful nod to its location near the Scarsdale Metro-North station. The name “Micheline” references a French rubber-tired train developed in the 1930s by Michelin, symbolizing both French innovation and local transit. The custom logo merges the iconic Micheline train with the familiar Metro-North rail car, creating a distinctive visual identity that reflects the restaurant’s dual inspiration.

Situated on Scarsdale Ave, Micheline lies approximately a quarter mile from the Scarsdale train station, the Bronx River Parkway, and the Bronx River. It is also within a short distance of Popham Road, Ardsley Road, and the nearby Bronx River, placing it in a quiet, accessible corridor just beyond the edge of the parkway and close to the natural flow of the river.

Micheline stands out in Scarsdale’s dining scene for its authentic French cuisine, curated wine list, and attentive service, all delivered in a setting that balances elegance with warmth. The restaurant’s connection to its founder’s roots and its subtle homage to local transit give it a distinctive character that resonates with both longtime residents and visitors. It is a true French bistro experience, thoughtfully rooted in the heart of Westchester.
