40 Best Bistros near Jersey City

“The food is delicious and Mihai is the best waiter!“

“Edwin was amazing the second we walked in. He was helpful and I will always be impressed by anyone who can memorize food orders. The nachos are amazing and the steak was perfect on top. Next time I’m asking for more guac cause that stuff was amazing. I had the pork special and it was out of this world. The sauce was creamy with the perfect spicy ending and the chop was huge and cooked perfect. The music was classical so it made the date night perfect. BYOB so bring ur own wine. There is a store across the street tho so dw.“

“We ordered so many incredible signature dishes. The lamb moussaka was 5 stars! To really test them we ordered one of the best lahmanchoun’s we’ve tasted in NY! Cozy atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, Momo JC definitely exceeded our expectations!“

“We stayed at the hotel for one night since we had a dinner party across the street on Saturday. It was just a nice, calm place to have breakfast since there wasn't much open right there on Sunday morning. The staff was very friendly. I had scrambled eggs with applewood smoked bacon, potatoes and toast, and my husband had the breakfast burrito, which came with fresh fruit.“

“We had a great experience at Che Ma Tante. Jackson, our server, provided excellent service, and the food was very good. We were especially excited to try the pancakes, and while they were delicious, I don’t think they are the best pancakes in the city.“

“Do not miss this place! Great food, great energy, thoughtful and kind staff, delicious wines and araks from the Levant, creative flavors, authentic food but with unexpected twists that made everything stand out. I would eat here again and again if we lived nearby. Good energy and vibes even on a weeknight.“

“Amazing Restaurant! Good food, service and cocktails .. Sam the server was very informative about the restaurants daily events ( happy hour, brunch etc.) I will definitely return ..“

“I felt very well taken care of and valued throughout my meal. The Serbian waiter was very skilled and friendly and he really made sure I was well taken care of.“

“Wine was ok, but the cake...........................insane“

“The gumbo and Oxtail w/polenta were 👏🏿👏🏿 Bravo Mike! Bravo!!“

“Great food excellent service Highly recommend“

“This restaurant exudes a wonderful, authentic, and charming atmosphere. I’ve visited it numerous times, and each dish I’ve tried has been incredible. The intimate setting ensures that every detail is meticulously attended to. Highly recommended!“

“Pretty OK steak tartare, but overly acidic and that “dried” yolk is funny. The salad is also extremely acidic but thankfully i got a side of fries (yes, a steak tartare that doesn’t come with fries lol) and they were pretty good!“

“I have been going to Sonoma almost weekly for over a year now. It started off with taco Thursdays and their delicious margarita specials and has now turned into exploring every menu item possible. I am consistently impressed with the quality and taste of the food. Incredibly delicious every single time. I am gluten intolerant which can pose challenges. The kitchen and staff have been amazing In accommodating my food allergy. I highly recommend Sonoma on any day of the week. It very quickly became my favorite go-to restaurants.“

“Sullaluna is one of our favorite spots in New York for everything from a quick drink on a sunny day to lunch or dinner where we always prioritize an order (or two) of the meatballs. It was only natural for this to be the perfect spot to host my 30th birthday for a group of almost 25 of us. Everyone was in love with the private setting downstairs, and the food was, as always, the star of the show. Thank you to our friends, Giulia and team.“

“Ella Funt is a delight! Cool vibe from the moment you walk in — excellent mood lighting and beautiful art across the walls. A lot of it is a bit risque, but I loved it. And the bathroom on the left is painted entirely in gold, which is so funny and so fitting.

Cocktails are spot on. The Lower Manhattan is a solid non-ABV choice, and the Lemon Martini does the trick if you're in the mood for a gin martini — strong but not too hard. Wine by the glass is well-priced for NYC. Food-wise, it was good but not great. We had the tuna crudo, steak tartare, tomato salad, trout with celery root puree, and the steak au poivre. The tuna crudo was a great start, but the meal kind of plateaued from there. The steak au poivre was just too saucy and peppery — I like au poivre, but this was too much. Overall a decent experience with good value, coming in under $100 per person with tip. Just don't come primarily for the food.“

“This place is a gem and one of the only
French places I’ve been to in a long time that reminded me of my year living in Paris. The music and decor transport you to the cafes and bistros of Montmartre. They serve hard to find classics like veal blanquette and Coquilles St Jacques. But my favorite is the Steak Frites with the house sauce. I really enjoyed my evening there. Merci!“

“This is such an amazing place! I highly recommend the steak tartare and just about everything I’ve ever eaten here. The French apple martinis are definitely drinkable. From the friendly atmosphere to the scrumptious creme brûlée—this is a must visit restaurant.“

“This place is so wonderful! When you come here and ask for the extra stinking dirty martini (With gin, don’t play games!) and always ask for Nicki and Bug. They are two of the best bartenders in Brooklyn. You will be so happy you came here. Cheers!“

“Went here for a Sunday birthday brunch with 6 people including myself and man was this place busy and packed for a reason!!! This is such a gorgeous brunch spot only 10 minutes away from American Dream which we were going to afterward. They had both indoor and outdoor seating available and all their food and drinks were so good!! We got a mix of sweet, savory, and salads which were all amazing. For drinks, I got an iced dulce de Leche latte and my friends got a few cocktails which all tasted delicious with the food! For food, I got the guava cream cheese croissant with bacon and WOW it was so good and sweet! My friends got a crispy chicken panini, salads, and burgers which everyone adored! Their food was also reasonably priced, I would definitely come back!“

“A Genuinely French, Neighborhood Gem! This authentic, lovely, VERY French Bistro serves French favorites in a charming, townhouse setting. The host (Xavier) and owner (Virginia) are attentive, very warm, jovial, accommodating and very French. The food is so authentically good! The appetizers are tasty, especially the beet carpaccio with goat cheese, and soups. (The French onion soup is, arguably, the best we've ever had. My son loves their fish soup.) During our many visits, we have thoroughly enjoyed the mussels in various, delightful preparations (Provençal is our personal favorite). When they have a Berkshire pork chop or rack of lamb special, we have enjoyed the perfectly cooked and seasoned meats. (Again, the pork at Bistro Vendome, is the BEST we've ever had. It is moist, perfectly cooked and so flavorful.) The accompanying French fries or potato gratin are decadently yummy, rich and well seasoned. (We also have previously enjoyed the delicious escargot.) The Bistro burger (with fries) and flat iron steak (with salad and fries) are also incredibly yummy. The staff and chef/owner also, so graciously, accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences. The menu changes seasonally, with options maximizing the freshest availability of in-season ingredients. The desserts are reminiscent of the best patisseries in Paris. We always thoroughly enjoy Bistro Vendome! The charming atmosphere, affable and accommodating staff, and authentic, beautifully prepared, delicious, French fare keep us coming back! With excellent, GENUINELY French cuisine, an utterly accommodating owner and host, and a very lovely ambiance, Bistro Vendome is a stellar choice for a delectable meal, in a pretty, townhouse setting. Bistro Vendome is the ultimate neighborhood gem!“

“love it. always go back when we are visiting our kid,! inside or outside. our favorite.“

“10/10 for Dudley's, food was amazing, we had the whipped ricotta and calamari to start and then shared the cheese burger, it was all delicious and a perfect amount of food for two ladies. The servers were attentive. Bar staff was great and cocktails are good. The tables are close to each other but that's to be expected. There is one restroom for men and women but there was no wait and the restaurant was full. Great experience, would go again“

“It’s cozy and they got very good coffee☕️“

“We had an amazing meal at Bistrot Ha! This was maybe the fourth time I’ve eaten their food, between their sister restaurant Ha’s Snack Bar and Bistrot, and have always been blown away. Every time the dishes are not only delicious but interesting and exciting, and the setting has been consistently fun and lively. I like the attention to details in art, plating and playlist. Every dish is packed with flavor, but the favorite part of my meal were the desserts that ended our night with such a great send off. Desserts change often and can’t wait to come back and see what new thing they have on the board. Definitely two of my favorite restaurants in the city.“

“A great little spot tucked away in Newark with fantastic sandwiches they way you want I often take there delicious menu and put twists like a cornbread Swiss melted sandwich which with bacon egg and definitely more Swiss if you want something that melts in your mouth and is served hot and Fresh it’s truly a one stop shop! They also offer boots for when you ruin yours in a pinch! Overall rating of 10 stars and if you don’t speak espanol they can always help you ! Don’t hesitate to make a sandwich / meal you will crave I have for over a year ! Thank you for your hospitality especially on bad mornings going to work sucks tired of being a grown up“

Thanks to the great bartender and the owners who went out of there way to make sure everything a that Carlos had an amazing experience!“

“One of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had in a while. Stayed there for 3 nights and tried Breakfest sandwich, breakfast burrito and avocado toast. All of them were delicious, especially the avocado toast. Very fresh and well seasoned. Totally recommend.“
