    Mashed potatoes . Fingerling potatoes

    Great drinks. Smaller menu with great options. This place will definitely have you trying something new. I love the inside dining area that looks like the outdoors. Our server was very prepared and provided us suggestions for what would be paired best with what we like. We have the Tuna Tartar, Kale & Grapefruit salad, West Coast oysters, Beef Duo, Salmon, Shrimp & Asparagus. We also had a side of mashed potatoes and fingerling potatoes.

    Very good! My husband took me here last Friday on my birthday. We loved our server Liz, and the food! Ambience is gorgeous too - they have a beautiful indoor set-up with 2 floors and a large outside covered patio area that is gorgeous with lights and little water sculptures. It's no wonder people love it here! For girls night, special occasion or date night this is THE spot. We tried the Ramp & fava bean tartine, the herb crusted salmon and steak frites. Everything was very good - little pricey for my steak but quality was good. Would absolutely come back - parking garage around the corner if needed.

    Manhattan vibes in Montclair. A very good experience with both the food and service. We went for a lunch date and sat by the greenhouse, which was great. The food came quickly, was very tasty, and the presentation was outstanding. The service was also very good - our waitress was attentive and checked in often without being annoying. I would highly recommend it!

    White cosmo

    Came to celebrate Valentine's Day and opted for picking items à la cart instead of the V-Day prefix dinner menu so we could have some more variety. Of course to celebrate, each table was sprinkled with firm, fresh rose petals :) ! With limited liquor licenses in Montclair I was surprised to see this place had one (although it is a large venue), unfortunately my white cosmo was a little underwhelming--It came out suspiciously fast! The water service made up for it, they provide 2 bottles of water for your table, one flat and one sparkling. Nice. The restaurant is pretty sizable and we were comfortably sat at a 2-top, not crammed and on top of other patrons. Great vibe here too--Music was nice, not too loud and they played classic rock at a reasonable level As for the meal: Tart flambée: delicious shareable flatbread with fromage blanc and bacon, a good kickstart to our appetite Wild mushroom and artichoke crostini: I LOVED this, loaded with fungi and shaved pecorino Faubourg lyonnaise: I asked if we could share it and they brought it split in 2 for us. This was the best dish we had. The charred baby gem lettuce with split egg (soft boiled instead of poached so that they could split it for us) duck magret, and more pecorino--WOW. I used some of the flatbread to wipe the bowl clean. For our entrees: chicken & truffle with polenta scallop & citrus on celery mousseline Light, shareable, flavor bombs all over the plates--very thoughtfully made dishes. We also added broccoli rabe as a side and while delicious and elevating, it was huge. We happily took the rest home so we could make room for dessert: pistachio crème brûlée. We would have loved to see the Valentine's Day menu desserts as options, maybe we could've ordered them if we asked? Those sounded more creative and fun than what's on the regular menu. You can take a tour of the restaurant, head upstairs and look down from the rafters like phantom of the opera, peep into the large open kitchen and watch the chefs working diligently, or check out the glass windowed wine cellar at the far end of the restaurant. Cheers!

    I took one of my friends out to dinner at Fauborg for her birthday! The restaurant is large and beautiful on the inside with an upscale atmosphere. The menu is seasonal and they also have a unique cocktail list! I had the white cosmo and for our entrees, I had the salmon & blood orange while my friend had the duck confit pappardelle& sunchoke. Everything came out very quickly and the food was presented beautifully on the plates. My friend enjoyed her duck and my salmon was cooked perfectly. I loved the uniqueness of the blood orange as part of the dish. For dessert, we had the special which was an apple tart ice cream situation and they also wrote happy birthday on the plate along with a candle which we appreciated. It was the perfect conclusion to the meal and I would definitely recommend Fauborg! I would come back to try their brunch too!

    Me and my wife had a phenomenal valentines dinner at Faubourg. The interior was beautiful, we enjoyed the indoor patio seating. Would definitely return.

    Salmon. Great. Light but filling.

    Celebrated my anniversary here and couldnt have asked for a better night. The restaurant itself has both indoor and outdoor areas. the outdoor has a covering, some plants, plenty of lighting. its a little cramped, but we liked it. we had exceptional and attentive service from start to end. we each had the elvis parsely (loved the usage of parsely here, such a smooth drink!) and the bang bang. both were perfect. they were strong, but not overwhelming and picture worthy. the lobster bisque was good, but this is a 1 and done from me. the lobster flavor follows throughout each spoonful, but there is not any lobster meat here. they do give you a toasted crouton with some cold lobster clumps on top of it with a mouse. i loved this! i personally wouldnt get the bisque again because it wasnt buttery, it was more of a savory seasoning. the GOUGerES, comte cheese puff are a must get. very sharable. soft, but a hint of a crispy outter shell. and a hint of cheese flavor comes through. my date got the SEAFOOD & CORN MAFALDINE, shrimp, jumbo lump crab, crispy fennel, artichokes. we basically licked his plate. to be honest, i wish i got this. the pasta had the perfect bite, there was ample corn and crab meat. the sauce that drowned the dish was the real star of the show. a hint of sweet from the corn, but not overwhelming. i grabbed a classic - GRILLED SALMON, fava beans, market zucchini, confit tomatoes. salmon was cooked more on the raw side, i personally would have liked a little more well done, but it still tasted great. this dish was incredibly refreshing but filling. the zucchini spiral pasta has a nice bite to it. overall i liked my dish, everything was cooked well, and it was great for my stomach which tends to act up.

    Such a vibe!! Our friends like to meet here after dinner for a couple of drinks. The drinks are phenomenal. Highly recommend! My favorite is the BEE CALM Crafted by Hailey Chamomile Infused Hendricks Gin, Lavender, Honey, Lemon.

    Grilled chicken souvlaki
    Lisa P.

    I would rate this place a 3.5 overall. It has a great green room sitting area that gives an outdoor garden feel indoor. I went for brunch so my friend and I ended up doing an al carte option. We ordered the baba ganoush for appetizer. It came with crunchy crackers and was overall creamy and yummy. For entrees we ordered the French toast and the grilled chicken souvlaki. Both were delicious the French toast was soft and not overly sweet. The grilled chicken souvlaki had nice charred grills and tasted fresh and flavorful with the cucumber tomato salad, tzatziki and the fluffy pita. For drinks my friend got the autumn solstice and I got the bee calm. I liked the autumn solstice better it was more up my alley for a cocktail. The service was a little slow as it took us a while to get the check. Initially it was busy but then it slowed down.

    Seafood arancini
    Erin H.

    I visited the other night with my cousins for a girls' night out. We started with the Seafood Arancini (stuffed with crab and lobster), which were delicious. The sauce that the arancini was plated on was really tasty. For my main entree, I ordered the Coq Au Vin, which was a generous portion. The chicken was tender, and the gravy it was served over was well-flavored. It also came with a cup of spätzle, which was a bit salty for my liking. Service was attentive and accommodating. After dinner, we headed upstairs to the cocktail/speakeasy lounge. I really enjoyed my drinks and the lounge's vibe. As far as the restaurant goes, I wasn't overly impressed considering the prices. I will definitely be visiting the cocktail lounge again soon.

    7/26/25: After dining at Faubourg (Montclair), I really have to rethink what restaurant is now deserving of 5 stars! Faubourg fits the bill in every aspect!!! We had a reservation in the patio dining area. The open area is very nice. I felt the seats could've had more cushioning. So we asked, if we could be moved into another area. Not a problem at all. We were moved inside the restaurant. The seat cushioning was much better. Our wonderful server was Liz. We started out with a Trefethen Chardonnay and a Ghost Hawk Beer. Tap and Sparkling Water bottles were already brought to the table. Bread and butter were brought over to the table. Entrees: We both ordered Chicken Provençal. The dish was absolutely incredible. We never had such moist chicken. With every bite, we would pick up a different wonderful sauce flavor. I could only eat half of my entrée. I asked one of the guys who was clearing away the dishes to wrap up my portion to take home. He nodded and said he would. In the meantime, we were asked if we wanted a dessert. We decided to share a Chocolate Coulant. It was so yummy and scrumptious! We were still waiting for my entrée to be wrapped up. We did see our server Liz and told her that it never came out to us. Not even a minute later, the manager named "Lady" came out with Liz. Totally apologize and asked us, if we could wait 10 minutes for a whole new order. We said no problem. Not even five minutes went by and the food came out. Faubourg has it all, Great Food, Excellent Customer Service and a Beautiful Indoor and Outdoor Dining area. Parking can be a bit hairy in the town of Montclair. You're lucky if you can get a spot on the street. We got lucky and found a $10 parking lot on a side street. So we grabbed it. Definitely looking forward to our next dining experience at Faubourg.

    This place continues to earn rave reviews for its ambiance and food. We checked this spot out for a late weekend brunch. I love how much seating is outdoors! They have a huge semi covered patio and even seating on small balconies. It was much more crowded outside versus inside. While the place definitely gives upscale fancy vibes, the service and meal were quite relaxed. This place is pricey. We tried the $39 prefix brunch (each) which came with a cocktail. I tried the berry parfait and the orecchiette and lamb ragout. Both were PHENOMENAL! And big enough portions that I did have leftovers. The berry parfait had a delicious sweet flavor while the main was just a well cooked dish. I also got the elderflower mimosa off the choice of prix fix beverages which was basically a mimosa or Bloody Mary. While good, I would have preferred one of their amazing sounding cocktails. My husband tried the crab benedict which was also very good but quite rich. We tried the special, Lobster Avocado Toast for $18. It was good but nothing exceptional. All in all - it was a great brunch but definitely reserved for more of a special occasion or splurge.

I wasn't super hungry so we shared the crispy cauliflower and lamb ribs from the appetizer menu. The crispy cauliflower was excellent -- hot, actually crispy, and not drowning in sauce which I really appreciated. The lamb ribs came over labneh (a yogurt base) and the first plate arrived with the lamb cold. I asked our waitress if that was intentional and she said only the labneh should be cold.

Next, there was one waitress on the floor, clearly overwhelmed. Told us she would be back with water but came back almost 20 mins later. We ordered our wine when she came back because who knows how long it would take to receive it. Another 20 mins, maybe more. We watched her seat several groups and I literally had to scream across the room to get her attention and to remind her of the bottle we ordered, which she had the nerve to appear annoyed about. We asked her if we could move from our tables to a nearby couch which she said yes. Before we had a the chance to finish the bottle the GM comes over and tells us to move our seats and that he would take care of us (NEVER DID NOR DID HE CHECK IN). This is the same GM who asked me to give the place another try after the last issues we encountered where they screwed up our checks due their own carelessness. I should've raised more of an issue and questioned him more. But nevertheless we move to these two musty smelling seats. At that point we left and decided that would be the absolute last time. Go at your own risk!

The bar area is gorgeous and there's even a beautiful private room for dining. Onto the menu. Their dinner menu looks incredible.

Food menu would be small bites so we literally got one of everything. I was completely overwhelmed when everything came out and we had enough leftovers for the whole week. Everything was fantastic though, and I wouldn't have changed a thing. The pork croquettes and the pigs in a blanket were my absolute favorite. Both delicious and a twist on a classic the anti pasta salad is something I'll probably order every single time. It has everything you want and it's finally chopped with a ton of cheese on top. Where do you go wrong? The focaccia that comes with the meal is also worth noting. The spread it comes with is super tasty there chili olive oil is spicy with a nice kick. My fiancé loved the meatballs and the smashburger. After gorging ourselves on their delectable, happy hour specials, we asked if we could see the Upstairs venue area. It's a beautiful space and can hold a good amount of people for any function. I hope Bacarosa stays for a while and does well because I'm already planning my next trip there.
