    Stopped in for lunch after a charity walk for the Alzheimer's Association of Essex County NJ the food was very very good. The service was excellent. The people in the the restaurant are friendly. I recommend you give it a try.

    The food was delicious, Yolanda recommended the chicken parm with vodka sauce and the chicken Marsala, both were absolutely delicious. Yolanda was very helpful and recommended great options. We will be back to try different dishes in the future

    This is a hidden Italian gem in Bloomfield. I always drove by this place but never thought much of it. We were invited to Fanny's for a bite to eat. Okay just so you know there are two ways to get in. First through the bakery which desserts look good. Second through the back parking lot. Now the ambiance is pretty dark fyi. The service was good too. I had the calamari for the appetizer and the stuff clams. For dinner I thought the flounder francaise was pretty good. Overall it's a nice place to grab a decent meal and chill.

    Lobster Malfadine - A ceramic bowl contains ramen noodles topped with green vegetables and a piece of lobster claw. The broth appears creamy and yellowish, with visible herbs and seasonings. The bowl has a colorful, patterned rim and is placed on a wooden surface. The dish includes fresh ingredients and is presented in a traditional style.

    Stopped in Fannys for a quick but delicious meal and it delivered. The food was very flavorful and you can tell it was freshly made. We were starving and nearly finished our meals leaving little left overs. It's a dimly lit restaurant with plenty of parking behind the building. I can't wait to come for a slower more relaxed night out when we can stay a little longer because I would love to try their drinks

    Stopped in last night with a group of 5 other girls! Our server was helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. We ordered a bunch of appetizers for the table and each was better than the next. The whipped ricotta crustini was probably my favorite followed by the truffle arancini (not pictured). All of our entrees were delicious- I got chicken vodka parm. We finished with a few different orders on dessert and wow- what a way to close the night. Definitely will be back to try more of the yummy menu.

    Fun space, loved the attention to detail from the wallpaper, down to the glassware everything had so much character. Seats were designed to sit for hours and the bar was super swanky and cute. The food itself was wonderful and the star was the vodka sauce pasta (6/5) Founder was also excellently prepared not too much sauce and paired with broccolini The burrata was delightful and the truffle aricini balls were YUM. Crispy goodness and piping hot I also loved that they were smaller in size and easier to eat. The chopped salad was fine a little over dressed for my taste but shareable. Drinks left me a little wanting, my Prosecco was room temp and my friends drink was also just ok. Maybe stick to wine and beer. Next to the restaurant which you walk through in order to get in was the lady fingers dessert spot. I'll leave that review separately! Smart tactic!

    Me and my girlfriend came here to do our book review and had a great time. From the moment we came in we were greeted with a friendly smile from the hostess . Our waitress was very attentive and gave some good recommendations when it came to the cocktails. We ordered the Vodka Parm and shrimp scampi which were very delicious and filling. It was seasoned very well and definitely would recommend either dish. The vodka parm is def a lot so get ready to take some to go. We also had the CAULIFLOWER SCARPARIELLO as an appetizer and it was SOOO DELICIOUS!! However they prepped this was simply perfect. We had zeppoli and olive oil cake. Both were tasty but would recommend the zeppoli over the cake. The cake was more like a pound cake nothing to memorable about it. We had the funny how? Which was okay very refreshing. However I personally liked the Two Yutes better as it was sweeter in taste . Ambiance is a great spot for a date or hang out spot. It wasn't too loud and had good lighting for us to be able to look at our books .

    Great addition to the NJ Food Scene..! Beautiful interior setup with great ambiance. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful, and the service was pretty good as well. All the dishes we ordered tasted wonderful and yummy, and exactly how you would expect it to be. Their options from the Substantials Menu are really substantial. The Pork Chops was one of the biggest I have seen, and all the Pasta options were perfectly cooked and seasoned. They have some fresh new Cocktails as well

    Olive focaccia - A close-up image of a slice of focaccia bread topped with green olives and black olives. The bread has a golden-brown crust and a soft interior. It is placed on a yellow and red plate, with a granite countertop visible underneath. The focus is on the bread and toppings, with a blurred background.

    Opening night, walked into a beautiful Italian restaurant. Three dining areas and a midsize bar. Full menu is available at the bar. That's where I chose to sit. Dani, was very attentive. My glass was never empty and she paired a wine with my food. Hamachi Crudo was refreshing. Crab salad is actually a tossed salad. It was made with radicchio, shaved Brussel sprouts, and arugula. There was no sign of crab and the creamy lemon vinaigrette lacked flavor. For $21 there should be a lump of crab. Saffron battered shrimp served steaming hot. Batter fell apart and the shrimp were very small. Focaccia was perfectly baked. It was large, light, crunchy top, and very good. The star was Gomiti with vodka sauce. The pasta is homemade and the sauce was the best I've ever had. 5 stars to the entire staff and the Pasta.

    Tiramisu
    Kayla L.

    Fanny's absolutely HITS.the food is tasty! Picture is their tiramisu which your waiter will put a cool display on for and the pasta vodka is perfectly aldente with excellent seasoning. Knocking down a start because service was slow, however, staff is friendly!!

    Cocktails

    The food was amazing & the servers were all super friendly. We got calamari & truffle arancini to start - blown away at how amazing. Then we split vodka past, eggplant parm, & chicken piccata. Really impressed!!

    Baked clams
    Eric S.

    See my other review on this place. Went back to try the other chicken parm. Quality. Not sure if it's top 5 in the state but it's good. The cocktails and the parm are worth going for, the baked clams are not. Would not order those again. Nothing special or flavorful. The service and ambiance is average but if I'm in the area in going. Not sure I'm going to drive there again though.

    Shrimp scampi, chicken parm...

    See all

    Is walk in ok or should one make a reservation? Particularly for a Saturday evening small party?

    We take walk ins but would recommend a reservation especially for the weekends.

    Faubourg Montclair

    Review: Café Faubourg - Montclair…read more Café Faubourg is one of Montclair's true gems--an authentic French bistro that feels as if it were lifted straight from a quiet Parisian street and placed right in the heart of town. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance sets the tone: warm lighting, intimate tables, and that unmistakable bistro charm that makes every meal feel like a small escape. The food is consistently excellent, starting with their hummus, which is surprisingly standout for a French spot. Smooth, flavorful, and beautifully plated, it's the perfect way to begin the meal and pairs wonderfully with their fresh bread. The steak frites is a must-order and easily one of the best in the area. The steak is tender and cooked exactly to preference, richly seasoned without being heavy, and served alongside crisp, golden fries that are everything you want in a classic bistro dish. It's simple, authentic, and prepared with the kind of care that elevates a traditional favorite into something memorable. Service at Café Faubourg is warm and attentive without being intrusive, contributing to the relaxed elegance of the experience. Whether you're dropping in for a casual dinner or celebrating a special occasion, the staff makes you feel welcome and unrushed. For anyone looking for an authentic French bistro experience in Montclair--excellent food, inviting ambiance, and truly charming service--Café Faubourg delivers every time.

    I've reviewed Faubourg in the past and my experiences here have been exceptional. With the bar…read moreraised that high, I think it's good for the establishment to know about certain details that impact customer satisfaction. During this visit, the plating of some of the dishes was odd, as whomever did it felt the need to position the food right at the edge of the plates. That made it difficult to eat the dishes without some of the food spilling off the side. Had to push everything to center to avoid this. Again, this was very odd, as it happened on two entrees and one dessert dish and was the first time we've seen this at Faubourg. The lamb duo had a fantastic grilled flavor, but part of it (I believe it may have been shank meat) was loaded with so much salt that it overwhelmed the flavors and was a bit difficult to continue eating. The last comment is admittedly nitpicky, but worth mentioning, as they automatically added a 20% gratuity despite the menu stating that 20% is added for parties of 6 or more. We were a party of two and I was a bit annoyed that they did this. The check also had a place for "additional tip", which was a bit presumptuous after adding the 20%. Overall, the experience was positive with a few hiccups that prevent me from giving 5 stars. Still highly recommended.
