2 Bergen Restaurants Named To 'Best Place To Eat' List

Two Bergen County restaurants were among 30 establishments named to New Jersey Monthly's best places to eat list.

]Cafe Panache in Ramsey and the Saddle River Inn have previously been included on the list.

"Call him old faithful. For 34 years now, Kevin Kohler has been piloting his handsome New American restaurant from behind the stoves," the publication said of Kohler's Cafe Panache.

The praise was similar for the Saddle River Inn.

"The wood-timbered barn that houses the inn is rustic, but chef/owner Jamie Knott’s food is among the most elegant around," NJ Monthly said.

Another North Jersey restaurant, Viaggio in Wayne, was also named to the list. (See related: Wayne Restaurant Named A 'Best Place To Eat')

New Jersey Monthly first came up with the list in 2007 as a Top 25. "Since then, New Jersey's dining scene has steadily gotten bigger, better, more varied and contemporary," the publication said. "Expanding to a Top 30 simply recognizes that fact."
