Dinner and dessert, what more do you need? We welcome new restaurants to enjoy both as much as we welcome the change of seasons, which means now is the perfect time to set your sights on some of Bergen's latest openings. And there are two you won't want to miss.
Toba Restaurant & BarLocated in the middle of Westwood's bustling downtown area, Toba Restaurant & Bar recently opened its doors. You can enjoy its modern American global-inspired cuisine knowing that everything is crafted by hand, so you're feasting on the finest and freshest dishes. Just some of the menu options include chicken satay samosas, gnocchi with spicy lamb ragu, miso salmon, rice cracker-crusted tuna, and filet mignon. And be sure to leave room for dessert, with options like chocolate cheesecake with a raspberry twist or housemade cookies and ice cream.
Toba's family-friendly yet stylish and inviting setting is a must-visit, whether you're having a GNO or bringing the fam out for dinner. The large space features comfortable booths for two, four, six, or more, plus a private dining room for a more intimate experience. Its wine room is packed with highly curated bottles, or, sit at the bar and enjoy a fresh cocktail. Don't wait to book your reservation, as weekends tend to fill up fast.
Tatte Bakery & CafeIf you're looking for something lighter, head to Tatte's latest opening in Ridgewood. Its breakfast and lunch options include fresh-made salads and soups, eggs, quiches, kebab pitas, roasted cauliflower sandwiches, shakshuka, and more. If you're in a hurry, you can opt for one of their grab-and-go items.
On the bakery side, enjoy fresh pastries like a cherry almond scone and strawberry turnover, brownies and cookies, cakes such as orange upside down cake and tiramisu, along with freshly baked breads. Plus, wash it all down with a cold brew or cafe au lait. Opening day just happened on Monday, May 5, and its charming interior is sure to make you want to come back and visit again soon.
