Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Tenafly

An old friend and I have lunch every Wednesday at French Roast. We are always delighted. The food is always excellent - tasty, well prepared and attractively presented. The staff is always ready with a cheerful greeting and is helpful kind and professional. The high quality of the food is always excellent and often surprising - for example. the chef prepares Ratatouille which is equal to or exceeds any Ratatouille (which has always been a favorite of mine) that I have ever had at restaurants in France. I cannot say enough good things about the hostess Marieleno and Darwin who is usually our server. Marieleno greets us cheerfully and is quick to offer assistance to my friend who is 91 years old and uses a walker. She is quick to make certain to hold both doors for him and to help with folding and placing his walker in a very convenient place. And as we prepare to leave, she assists him again in every possible way. All of this while she continues to greet and assist arriving and departing guests. Darwin is always cheerful, friendly and helpful. We look forward to seeing Darwin every week. Although he is very busy and under pressure during the very busy lunchtime, he remains cheerful, helpful and takes whatever time is necessary to discuss the menu and specials with us and make suggestions. Darwin is a key to our all around positive experience at French Roast. We love French Roast - the food the staff, especially Marieleno and Darwin and even though we had lunch only several hours ago today, we are looking forward to next Wednesday.

Delicious meals and dessert and wonderful waiter.

This is my favorite restaurant experience ever especially after working hours the food was good n I would definitely recommend this place for others to enjoy

The food and service are top notch! All the staff are wonderful and the food is excellent. Can’t recommend this place enough.

This place has such a variety of foods , from Caribbean to Spanish and ribs and burgers. I loved the yuca cheese sticks as well as the mahi tacos. My friend got the ribs and said they were amazing. I enjoyed it so much I bought a gift card for a friend. Check it out it was great!
