Brunch on Sunday in northern bergen county?

[scarlet knight]

any suggestions?

How about a reasonably priced brunch in the Fort Lee area? Has anyone gone to Assembly in Englewood?

[ELA]

I haven't been to the Assembly for brunch in a few years, unfortunately. I say that because I always liked it very much. I have been there for a Mother's Day brunch, and just a random Sunday as well. When I used to go -- and I've been there often -- it was always very good and very consistent. Overall, it was an excellent brunch, one of the best in the area.

The quality of the food was very good, it was fresh, high quality, they were replenishing and replacing food often, etc. I always enjoyed it.

BTW, I would put the Mason Jar brunch well above that of MB&G. Much better -- not even close. MB&G was ok. Solid, but just OK.

The Mason Jar was much better -- more selection, more scope, better flavors and food.

[ELA]

Had brunch at MB&G -- basic, solid brunch. Omelette station made some decent omelettes, and the other basics were OK -- sausage, bacon, some potatoes, etc. It was OK. I liked the chocolate-stuffed French toast and the eggs benedict (pre-made) wasn't bad. The melon and other fruit was very good. Some of the other items were also OK.

Now, I've had lunch there -- unfortunately, I didn't like it. I don't know what it is, but the food is just so-so at best. Wish I liked it but I don't. The last two times I ordered burgers there, they weren't prepared well, made as ordered, etc. -- and both times I didn't like it.

Heard about this. I'd like to try it sometime but it doesn't fit in with my diet. LOL.

I haven't been to their brunch, but Bistro 55 does one, and friends who have been said it was an impressive selection for the price.

Try Kloe bistrot in fort lee. Not your typical new jersey restaurant and lots of good egg choices.

Do they have a brunch menu ? I can't find it online.

Clinton Inn in Tenafly
Mason Jar for more casual brunch
The manor is always a good classic one- not as great as it used to be
If you wanted to take a bit of a drive, the Thayer Hotel has a lovely one up by West Point.

We've been to two very different brunches in that area that I can comfortably recommend: The Mason Jar in Mahwah does a pleasant, traditional Sunday brunch and Dim Sum Dynasty in Ridgewood is terrific for something a little different...but just so good.

We are looking forward to trying the new Five Seasons Bistro in Ridgewood, Laurie Cera's new venture. We also heard nice things about Janice, a Bistro in Hohokus for brunch.

Can you elaborate on the brunch at Dim Sum Dynasty? What is a little different about it? What types of food, dishes, etc.? Thank you in advance.

It's the finest place in NJ for Dim Sum. Here's Tommy's explanation and description: http://www.tommyeats.com/tommyeats/20... It's wonderful!

You can omit my above recommendation for the Mason Jar. I went back there for lunch and it was very forgetable. There also are having some legal issues about serving alcohol to minors.

Allendale Bar & Grill (and I'm assuming Mahwah Bar & Grill) does a pretty good one that's not too expensive. If you're willing to travel to Montclair, The Office does a great one. They used to do it in all their locations, but for some reasons they stopped weekly brunches in all of the locations except Montclair several years ago. (Most of the locations still have the brunches on certain holidays.)
