Let's Meet for Brunch in NJ
While away a summer afternoon over a lazy brunch. Riverside, Brazilian style, buffet or a la carte, here are some of NJ's best spots.
Don't Miss: What's better than the buffet brunch at Ho-Ho-Kus Inn & Tavern? Enjoying it outdoors on the bluestone patio!
Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ

This historic Inn's sumptuous Sunday brunch buffet is a longstanding Bergen County favorite.There's truly something for everyone: chef-staffed stations with carved roasts and omelettes; seasonal meat, fish, seafood and vegetarian entrées; swwet 'n' savory scone bar; fruit; artisanal cheese; eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, Belgian waffles, seasonal soup; breakfast pastries and assorted breads and desserts. Plus, unlimited Bloody Mary + Mimosas, coffee, tea and sodas. It's a fantastic value at $34.95 per person (children 10 and under, $14.95). Reservations recommended! Served Sundays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Don't Miss: The fabulous hand-crafted cocktails you can sip on the marina-side patio.
Jersey City, NJ

The  brunch menu  at Maritime Parc is divided into "sweet" and "savory" and there's much to love in each: pancakes and pastries with seasonal fruits; Blueberry Ricotta Doughnuts; Fried Egg, Crab + Potato Hash; BBQ Short Rib BLT; and, of course, a selection of Executive Chef/Owner Chris Siversen's signature burgers. Love a good raw bar? Go for the Grand Platter! Sit indoors or outdoors on the patio enjoying the glorious views of the marina, Liberty State Park and the Lower Manhattan skyline from spring well into the fall. Brunch served Sundays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Don't Miss: Fresh-squeezed OJ for Mimosas (or not) and the new to-die-for Coconut Lemonade!
Montclair, NJ

Brazilians don't eat the traditional American breakfast of eggs, bacon + toast. So Ilson Goncalves, Executive Chef/Owner of Samba Montclair, designed a gluten-free brunch  using classic Brazilian ingredients. Choose from the Omelet w/Brazilian Sausage + Collards, served with a side of Yuca Home Fries dusted with fresh rosemary, mint, thyme and oregano (pictured); a Grass-Fed Burger on house-made Yuca Bun; Panini w/Mozzarella + Chicken (again with Ilson's signature yuca bread); Steak + Duck Egg and Duck Sliders. On Saturdays and Sundays, brunch is served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
