Go get some good grub.
1. Toast
Whether you like actual toast or not, this is a great restaurant to eat at. Its great for breakfast brunch or lunch. The laid back, casual country style inside allows it to be a great place for family or friends! Plus the food is delicious. My personal favorite is the pancakes. They're great!
2. Ani
This is a newer restaurant to the area, but it's already made a huge impact. No wonder it's already popular. It has a great selection of foods, but the most popular is their out-of-this-world ramen. Head on over and see for yourself!
3. Raymond's
Many people either know or have heard of Raymond's. It's been around for a long time, but still holds up well. It has a great, unique diner feel with both indoor and outdoor seating that is wonderful in the summertime. The food is delicious and can be more on the comfort side.
4. Dai-Kichi
If you like sushi, you must check this one out! It's a great sushi restaurant that makes the best hand rolls. If you're not the biggest sushi fan, don't fear. They have a great selection of other options that are all equally as delicious.
5. Ah Pizz
This Italian restaurant has to be one of the best I have ever been to. The atmosphere is very welcoming and always lively. The pizza is absolutely to die for. They use a brick wood oven to cook all their pizzas in. In the restaurant, you can even see it as it is placed in the center. It's a great place for friends and families.
6. Villalobos
This is a great Mexican restaurant that is also newer to the area. It has also become a very popular spot, though. It has great spins off of traditional Mexican meals and handmade tortillas daily!
7. The Corner
If you've never been, this is a great stop-by for brunch. It is a quirky, small restaurant located on a small strip in Montclair, but their food packs a big punch. It's all great and absolutely worth checking out with a buddy.
8. Red Eye Cafe
This is, again, a smaller place to eat, but it has the character. It has a very interesting layout and the food is great and more on the comfort side. If you're out with friends on a lazy afternoon, go ahead and give this place a try!
