Best French Restaurants in South Plainfield

What a wonderful dining experience! We arrived slightly early for our 7pm reservation, and waited no time at all to be led to our table, tucked away in the corner of the main dining room. The space was bustling and energetic. Our servers were exceptionally attentive, and our meal was well-paced. We ordered the Wagyu Carpaccio as a starter. I'd travel to New York City again and again for that perfect melt-in-your mouth dish. I'll think about the horseradish sauce for months to come. My husband got the branzino, which was light and healthy, though he thought it could use an addition of a sauce or salsa to brighten it up. I had the Boeuf Borgugnon that was out-of-this world delicious—fork tender on a bed of roasted vegetables and creamy potato puree, with a sauce that had complex depth of flavor. We were celebrating birthdays, and when our server brought Basque cheesecake for dessert, it was topped with a candle and a chocolate candy happy birthday message. Looking forward to another visit soon!

We've dined at Sophie's Bistro for many years, and it's a hidden treasure that everyone should discover and enjoy. Matt can't make a bad cocktail even if he tried. His skills are unmatched! The staff is amazing, and the owner, Peter, treated my hubby and me with two sweet shots that went down really smooth! Our Valentine’s Day dinner at Sophie's will be a memorable one. Thank you!

Fabulous dinner in a beautiful restaurant. Best Italian restaurant in northern NJ at least!

Always excellent. Our 2nd time. Bilal is great behind the bar. A fantastic addition to the local food scene.

We have been dining at Chez Catherine for more than 30 years. We ate there when Catherine was still alive, and were so happy when it re-opened after her death. Stefan and his staff have re-created the fine dining experience that is so hard to find anymore, especially outside New York. We dine at Chez Catherine several times a year for outstanding French food, a great wine list, and wonderful service.
