    Breakfast menu
    Leah G.

    During a four hour layover at Newark airport I stopped in this airport French bistro when I saw it had a Croque Madame on the menu. Grabbed it to go to eat at a nearby lounge. The staff was so wonderfully friendly and kind it made a long travel day get off to a good start. The croque madame was wonderful. I was very surprised for an airport breakfast! The greens were super fresh with just a light lemon vinaigrette dressing and the egg on top of the sandwich was perfectly cooked. Had I not been eating out of a plastic to go container I would have thought I was at First Watch. Of course airport prices took one star away! If you're in terminal C at Newark look for Saison's! It's definitely worth it

    Honestly, the food was pretty decent for airport food. I enjoyed my croque madame with a side salad (admittedly a little overdressed) with a side of fries. My husband got the burger medium with bacon and thought it was "fine." We got seated right away and it was a comfortable experience (though will note I saw a few tables were not thoroughly cleaned and wiped down before the next guests sat down).

    Slow food and service that wasn't friendly, yet many of them spent time socializing and chatting with other guests while they neglected others. My avocado toast wasn't real avocado, but it was guacamole. The audacity for that price point! The creme brulee wasn't bad, however.

    This is the best food in Newark airport. I fly about once a month and always walk over from other areas of terminal C to eat here. Usually, I'll get a croque madame but today I tried the mussels and they were very good, in fact better than most non airport terminal mussels I've eaten. And the fries were crispy and very French. They could give you a few more mussels in the order but that's my only complaint! N.b. The photo does not show a full order of mussels-- I had eaten some before I thought to take a shot.

    Sauteed spinach. Watery. Advise yo put some salt. Ask for a slice of lemon to sprinkle on this

    Ambience inside is really nice. Great french lounge jazz music. The food is so so and over priced. Don't forget to put your united mileage account to get 20% off. The onion soup was served lukewarm. The cheese was a bit too thick and needed to be cooked more. Thick stringy cheesy. Spinach was watery with super soft garlic, defeating the purpose of putting it into a skillet. Much more to be desired but nice enough to spend for an hour before boarding given limited choices. I would recommend going for a burger or mussel over what I ordered.

    Food was good. Service was lacking. Unfortunately the servers were overworked and unfriendly. Meals run somewhere between 20-60 dollars. Nothing less than 20. You order your meal via a QR code and they deliver your food to your table. My server never checked up on me checked up on me, because I asked 3 different people for mayonnaise and were not able to assist me, because they could not locate my server. Needed my small water refilled. No one could help me with a simple water. My expensive food was good for airport food.

    It's rare to find French restaurants from where I'm from, so I was super pleasantly surprised to find a super cute French cafe right by my gate playing French music and serving authentic French dishes. Here's what I tried: Salmon: this was oh so perfectly pan-fried, and the meat was tender while having the most crispy and thinly fried skin on top. However, for some reason, this dish was also paired with a bed of BBQ beans, which added a strange American touch to an otherwise perfect dish. Croque madame: I've always been a fan of this unique French breakfast item, and I was so excited to see that this was available during breakfast! The egg was perfectly fried, and I loved how it was paired with a perfectly toasted piece of bread, ham and cheese. Also comes with complimentary salad, as well as fresh fruit for an additional add on. Definitely a super cute place with high quality food that's worth stopping by if you have some time before your flight. The service does take a little bit longer since the restaurant is hugely understaffed, but the staff are always super kind and accommodating, and you can get your food to-go as well!

    I was hoping the reviews were an "airport 2.5" rather than an actual 2.5, but no. The food here was on the awful side of mediocre, unpleasant enough that I would rather not describe it. The drinks were only slightly better--my aperol spritz was remarkably not refreshing. The hostess and server were kind, but the server was not the most attentive--he brought us empty water glasses but no water until we asked. The environment is nice though, with charging stations at each booth, and relatively quiet, so if you need a place to camp for a minute this could be it. However, be prepared to pay for it with an outsized check. I think we spent around $150 on 2 drinks, a French dip sandwich, and a couple of sides. Tips if you decide to eat here anyway: - Order on 1 check using the QR code so your food has a chance of arriving at the same time - Order less than you think you want to eat (like maybe share a few appetizers or one entree) - Ask to sit in the back with a view of the planes; up front, the restaurant seemed pretty crowded, but it was quiet and pleasant in the back - If you want a drink, walk a couple hundred feet to the Proof Whiskey Oasis where you can just order a good whiskey without worrying about getting an unpleasant version of a cocktail It's interesting that this restaurant seems to share a kitchen with Classified, the United Airline's invite-only "speakeasy" (either Classified is not as desirable as advertised or they send the good food back that way instead of to Saison). Avoid unless you are very rich, not picky about food, or need a quiet place to wait in Terminal C.

    Niçoise salad - very fresh and delicious! I would come again for this.
    Jessica W.

    What: Niçoise salad, Cobb salad, turkey chicken sandwich with fries. I really liked my Niçoise salad. It was very fresh. Hard to get decent, healthy food at an airport and this fit the bill. My husband had the Cobb salad and said the lettuce seemed old. Daughter liked her big sandwich and the fries were crispy and seasoned well. I didn't take a pic because there's already one. Ambiance: in terminal C, this is actually a nice area where you could sit and relax for a while. The decor is French cafe with music playing. Service: ok, absolutely the worst. The hostess with the long magenta braids could not do her job any less. How is she not fired? She literally stood there looking at her phone or her watch. Right in the middle of the entrance - in the way! Was really too much trouble to seat us with a side of attitude. No one offered water. I finally asked for it and we were brought room temperature water, no ice. In a nutshell--food/ambiance good, service bad. But what do you really expect? At an airport, I'm just seeking something healthy and edible! Price: expensive- duh you're in an airport! No ApplePay available. You pay with credit card off the iPad.

    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.

The menu is fixed-price, four courses with three options each -- simple, elegant, and unpretentious. Cash discount in March is a nice bonus too. Now the food -- where do I start.

The **Crab Cake** was loaded with fresh, quality crab -- the chive oil pairing was spot on. But the showstopper? **Venison Wellington.** Tender, perfectly seasoned, and not something you see on many menus. I would order it again without hesitation. Finished with a peanut butter, chocolate and banana dessert paired with an espresso -- an absolutely perfect ending. The staff was warm, attentive, and somehow never made you feel rushed or hovered over. That's a gift. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had.

Beef tartare was ok, needed more of the crispy fried wonton-like skin to go with it.

Desserts shared - Panna cotta was great again (passion fruit and coconut) and the celebratory engagement at the table was given a coffee version of panna cotta. I was ok with the black forest chocolate cheesecake and the lemon tart, but the table liked them. Overall..had better service before, and also the steak disappointed.

Both were delicious. We also tried the escargot in garlic and parsley infused butter. While I personally prefer my escargot tucked into puff pastry hats which is a quirky preference, I know my boyfriend at the time thoroughly enjoyed them. For mains we had a beautifully cooked rack of lamb, a flavorful confit duck, and a mushroom risotto.

We finished with two desserts which were a silky creme brulee and a perfectly risen souffle. Both were outstanding and worth saving room for. Overall Chez Catherine is a charming choice for a refined special occasion, 'old school' traditional French meal. The service, attention to detail, and classic flavors make it well worth a visit.
