Faubourg Montclair

Excellent restaurant! The service was outstanding, and the staff truly cared about their customers. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. Even though the restaurant was busy, they took our order quickly and delivered everything promptly.<br>The food was served fast, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and amazing food. Highly recommended!

Been coming here since open, I love this restaurant. They have an atmosphere for everyone. Whether it’s the patio, the lounge of the indoor dining room. Best cocktails around and the service is impeccable. You can tell everyone truly cares. Their food of course is creative and top tier which changes seasonally(along with their drinks)

One of the most delicious dinners I’ve had in a long time!!! We decided to try this restaurant out and were very impressed with the service and food. The beef duo is amazing! Grilled asparagus and fingerling potatoes were perfect sides. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for high quality of service and amazing food!

We went here on Mothers Day! They do not have a very big menu, but they have a menu with daily specials on it. Many different options even though limited selection. We really enjoyed the Eggplant Babaganoush which was delicious. The main dishes were all incredible, and the dessert was small, but we were already so full so it was appropriately sized. It cost us 232 dollars for 3 people and a dessert so it is expensive, but still I think it is worth it. The seating is also great

We had a fantastic Sunday brunch at Faubourg with a party of six, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. The restaurant offers a great atmosphere with options to dine in the main dining room, at the bar, or outside on the patio—something for everyone depending on the vibe you’re looking for.<br><br>Their brunch menu is well thought out, featuring both à la carte options and a $43 prix fixe menu that includes a choice of mimosa, an appetizer, and a main course. It’s a great value and gives you plenty of variety.<br><br>I opted for the lump crab avocado appetizer from the à la carte menu, which was fresh and flavorful, followed by the steak and eggs with fingerling potatoes—perfectly cooked and incredibly satisfying.<br><br>Service was attentive, the ambiance was lively with music and without being overwhelming, and the overall experience made for a memorable brunch. I’ll absolutely be returning and would highly recommend it for both small and larger groups.

I had the pleasure of attending a special exclusive dinner at Faubourg for St. Patrick’s Day 2026 with the Benjamin Moore team, and it was nothing short of spectacular. This was my first time here, and I was blown away by the elegance of the entire establishment. We had a reserved private section that was perfectly set up for both networking and dining. The transition from social hour to a sit-down meal was seamless. From the food to the service and the overall atmosphere, everything was top-tier. A truly fabulous experience in Montclair!

Ive been to Faubourg 5+ times and recommended countless family and friends to come here. The atmosphere in the greenhouse is so beautiful, especially when it starts getting dark around 6pm and the fairy lights are on, it’s so cozy and pretty. The service is attentive and the food arrives so quick. On my last visit, i ordered the steak frites, crab and avocado salad, and mussels. Everything was so delicious and presented beautifully. From the moment you call to make a reservation, you are greeted with kindness. I love coming here so much because of the amazing food but mostly because of the warm inviting cozy environment, Ill always and continue to recommend here❤️

Faubourg Montclair is as fine dining as it gets. From the moment you walk through the door until the second you leave, the staff is incredibly attentive and professional—the service is exactly what you’d expect from a top-tier establishment.<br><br>The atmosphere is easily one of the most beautiful I’ve ever experienced in a restaurant; it’s fun, vivacious, and feels truly special. As for the food, everything was exceptionally fresh and delicious. I had the Steak Frites, and it was hands-down one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. We finished with a variety of desserts that were the perfect end to an otherworldly meal.<br><br>I already yearn to dine here again. If you're looking for a flawless dining experience in Montclair, this is it.

Wonderful experience at Faubourg Montclair! Delicious foods, beautiful presentation, and warm, attentive service. The atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!

Faubourg is an absolute gem. The food was amazing, tasty, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, with every dish truly succulent and satisfying. You can tell real care goes into both the ingredients and presentation.<br>Our server in the upstiars lounge was Daniella. She was equally impressive: professional, attentive, and genuinely kind, making the entire dining experience even better. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Highly recommend for anyone looking for excellent food and outstanding service in Montclair.

Faubourg has been on my list for a while, but I finally got over here last night for dinner/drinks with my top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality before a screening of Hamnet down the street. My takeaway? Like the presumptive Best Picture nominee, uneven but the highs are pretty high.<br><br>I really liked the vibes here - it feels (and I think it is) pretty gigantic, with high ceilings and a bougie urban vibe. When we were making reservations earlier in the day, my chum told me we had the option of sitting in the main dining area or the greenhouse, which we ultimately bypassed but it's cute from what I could see - predictably a bit more of a rustic decor than the other parts of the restaurant. We were seated in a nice corner/curved booth - always a nice perk when both parties can sit in the booth comfortably - and were waited on almost immediately.<br><br>This is not a cheap hot dog stand kind of place so if you're looking for entrees in the $30 range, I'd keep looking. We each got an app ($22 for me at least), and I went with an intriguing item on the seasonal/special menu, the short rib arancini. Wow. Truly delicious and something I considered getting a second round of, despite the hardcore price point. It's a reminder that when short ribs are done right, it's a sight and a taste to behold.<br><br>For my main course, I went a little aggressive with the much-ballyhooed Steak Frites (I think $76ish or so), which were really tasty, if not necessarily worth the price. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and was very juicy and tender. The accompanying chimichurri gave it a nice nip and my chum shot quite a few regretful looks my way after getting a slightly underwhelming chicken dish. But that's a story for a different reviewer.<br><br>The drinks for me were ultimately a miss. I was intrigued by the Saints & Sinners cocktail since it featured Angel's Envy bourbon (and I admittedly thought it might be a subtle homage to Secret Lives of Mormon Wives) but to me was a little too tart, to the point where you couldn't taste the bourbon at all. I switched to an Old-Fashioned, which my chum ordered right from the get go, and honestly it wasn't good at all - super aggressive overpour on the bourbon (I think it should have about 1.5 ounces and instead was closer to 3 or 4). Of course my companion tried to defend it, claiming we were getting value for the money, but I could easily just go to a convenience store at my neighborhood Shell or Mobil and purchase some extra gasoline there. Bottom line - in a place like Montclair where the liquor licenses are relatively few and far between, you should know how to make a very basic/mainstream cocktail like this, and they didn't.<br><br>The dessert was mouth-droppingly good, one of the best I've had in recent memory, a sentiment shared by my dining companion. We went with the passion fruit cheesecake, which came with a small scoop of gelato. Wow. Once we realized what we were dealing with, the bites got smaller, and the pace of the eating slowed down dramatically for savoring purposes. Truly an experience.<br><br>The service was excellent as well, which ultimately made the difference here. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing, and once or twice another staffer came by to ensure we were being taken care of. Really top-notch stuff which is arguably a significant portion of what you're paying for here.<br><br>There's a lot to like and I wouldn't hesitate to come back, but I'm probably bypassing the bar and heading straight to some of the other menu items.

High end dining from the atmosphere to the impeccable service to the beautiful plating. The food was incredible, maybe the best omelet I’ve ever had? Highly recommend for Sunday brunch, they were able to accommodate a reservation for 8 of us with no difficulty at all.

I’ve been here a couple of times, but yesterday I decided to visit for my birthday. Overall, I had a good experience. The hostess was very pleasant and cordial, but unfortunately, our server was not. He had no charisma and didn’t make us feel welcomed (Our server was a tall young man with his hair tied up) We were quite hungry and had to wait a long time for him to take our order. Thankfully, another server named Ricardo stepped in and saved the day by taking our order — he was great! The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. I truly love their food, and the place itself is so cute with beautiful decor. I’m giving 4 stars only because of the poor service from our main server, who seemed inattentive and a bit entitled.

I recently visited Faubourg in Montclair, expecting a quiet lunch but ended up walking into their brunch service instead. I’ll admit—I’m not much of a brunch person. Most brunch menus feel like fancy versions of egg dishes I can easily make at home.<br><br>To my surprise, though, Faubourg’s food turned out to be a pleasant experience. The fig terrine was flavorful with a nice balance of sweetness and richness, while the candied fig was light and refreshing—perfectly dressed without being overpowering.<br><br>The real highlight came at the end: the pear cheesecake. It was creamy, beautifully textured, and carried a delicate pear fragrance that lingered with every bite. Easily one of the best desserts I’ve had in a while.<br><br>Service was friendly and attentive, and the space itself felt modern yet cozy.<br><br>If you’re a brunch lover, this place might be right up your alley during the weekends. If you’re like me—more of a savory lunch type—you’ll still enjoy the quality and calm atmosphere. Just wish the brunch menu leaned a little more into French bistro classics.

The atmosphere was quite pleasant. I would suggest making reservations when visiting this establishment. While the food was acceptable, it did not particularly stand out. Our server, Chris or Kris, appeared to be occupied with other matters and was not as attentive to our table as we would have liked. I think she came to the table 2x after flagging her down. She seemed 👀 bothered. In reality it affected her tip.
