Reviews for Brasserie Memere in Closter, NJ
A French American eatery that the locals love. Went here while visiting friends in Closter and our friends ran into a few... aquaintances from the area. The food is good and service courteous. The Mussels we ordered were fresh and it's broth was thebest I have ever tasted. The duck leg was tender and had a nice crust. The Escargot was good. They have decent options ondrinks. Overall a good experience on a relaxed night out. Read more
Brasserie Memere is a hidden gem in an otherwise average Closter plaza. The restaurant is operated by a lovely woman who will... run to get your order for you. We haven't seen that kind of commitment in a long time. Brasserie is impeccably clean andwarming to walk into. There is an abundant of patio space along the side and in the back. We ate from the Express menu due tothe time we arrived. First, the pastries were still-warm-fresh. The almond croissants and the kougin amann were unbelievable. Itwill be hard to find pastry this good in Paris, let alone in north Jersey. The nicoise and croque monsieur were perfect for alight bite. We will definitely be going back and we recommend it to everyone else. Read more

Cute place in the corner of an outdoor mall. GPS took us to the back which was weird... They have lovely outdoor seating but... it was too cold even with heating units. So we sat inside. Alex was our waiter and he was a nice young man. He's speedy andis rushing around so talk fast LoL We ordered: Purple Rain - soju, lychee calipico, lychee puree, butterfly peaflower Oliver's Chug Jug - ginger-lime syrup, butter?y pea ?ower, soda - really refreshing and light, tip: ask for lite icebecause it got watered down fast... French Onion Soup - so good, one of the best we've had Cuisses Grenouilles - frog legs -not my thing but hubby loved it... it was well cooked and tender but still chewy (might just be how this meat is, like how goatis always gamey...) Escargots - snail - ok, we've had better Vegan Sausage - vegetarian friend said it was good, will take hisword for it hehehe Butternut Squash Soup - one of the good one he's had Confit De Canard - duck leg cooked in duck fat,tarbais beans, garlic sausage, pancetta, spiced orange glazee - amazing! This is a must have. Beuf Burguignon - red winebraised wagyu beef cheeks,smoked bacon, mushrooms, pearl onions,pommes dauphine - it was ok, meat was really tender but I'm nota drinker so the wine was too strong to me it tasted slightly bitter but hubby loved it. Tahitian Vanilla Creme Brulee - musttry, so creamy good, best we've ever had! I would try again if I was in the area. :) Read more
Stepping into Brasserie you feel like you've been transported to a timeless French Bistro very similar to Balthazar or Raoul's... in Manhattan. I recommend some of the amazing cocktails to start, any of their tartes (light French pizza) PEI mussels,chicken schnitzel or steak frites. My wife enjoys their very fresh Scottish salmon. Brasserie has amazing wine and Evelyn isextremely knowledgeable should you need help navigating the wine list. In fact, all of their staff are extremely helpful andfriendly. Sit at a table for a romantic dinner or eat at the bar for a more casual experience. Make sure you try their "Grand"gourmet burger if you are at Sunday brunch with a hangover from the night before. They also have some very cool "specialevents" like wine / bourbon tastings, cigar and movie nights. Brasserie has a lot to offer - try it if you can! Read more
