1st Fogo de Chão In NJ Coming To Westfield Garden State Plaza

PARAMUS, NJ — Three new restaurants will open at Westfield Garden State Plaza, joining the more than 30 restaurants and eateries already in operation at the upscale shopping mall.

The mall announced the expansion on Tuesday, which includes the three, first-to-market restaurants, including the first New Jersey location of Fogo de Chão, which could open in 2022.

Season’s 52, a sophisticated wine bar and grill that offers fresh, seasonal dishes will open its first location in Paramus. Eddie V’s Prime Seafood and Steak will open its first location in New Jersey at the shopping center, as will Fogo de Chão, the Brazilian steakhouse chain specializing in fire-roasting high-quality meats.

“We are delighted to welcome these new restaurants to the center,” said Dennis Marnick, senior vice president, leasing, at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield.

“Westfield Garden State Plaza is a destination of choice for the local community. Expanding our offerings with new culinary options gives our guests another reason to come and experience the truly diversified retail mix at the center.”

The Chief Executive Officer of Fogo de Chão, Barry McGowan, said choosing the Paramus shopping center for the restaurant's first New Jersey location wasn't a difficult choice to make.

“Garden State Plaza was an easy decision for us when deciding where to open our first restaurant in New Jersey,” said Barry McGowan, Chief Executive Officer of Fogo de Chão.

“We are proud to partner with Westfield and look forward to sharing our authentic, international dining experience with the Paramus community in 2022.”
