Peek Inside Faubourg, New French Restaurant On Hudson County Waterfront

WEEHAWKEN, NJ — A trio of Essex County moms showed up for a sneak preview of Faubourg — a new French restaurant steps from the Weehawken waterfront — last Thursday night, saying they were invited because they were regulars at the original Montclair location. It was a testament to the loyal following that the flagship location that these busy moms were willing to trek to Hudson County on a weeknight, and trek they did.

Faubourg was set to open to the public this Thursday, Aug. 22, featuring unique cocktails, small plates, meals, and desserts with a French flair.

The location opened at a growing waterfront neighborhood in upper Weehawken, near the West New York border, with two hotels and several new developments and restaurants. They're also located near a Port Imperial ferry stop.

At Thursday night's preview, the wait staff served up appetizers from tuna tartare with lime, wrapped in a cucumber, to chickpea panisse. Drink specials included a white cranberry martini and a dirty pineapple margarita.

They are still finalizing the menus, but a link is below, as well as an image of the dessert menu. See more photos from the event above.

Fauboug is located at 1100 Avenue at Port Imperial, just south of two hotels: the Residence Inn and Envue.
