Best Family Restaurants in Edison

"American chef Daniel Rose broke significant boundaries in 2006 when he took Paris, the home of fine dining, by storm with his tiny 16-seat restaurant Spring. His modern approach to classic French techniques was a huge hit and he returned to the US and opened Le Coucou where he has brought a once stale cuisine back into the limelight. There is a significant difference between Spring and Le Coucou."

"Walking into this beautiful Parisian restaurant will immediately transport you to Paris. Le Coucou features white tablecloths, tall windows, candles on every table, a menu full of complicated French dishes with names you might not always recognize. Designed by Roman and Williams, a New York City-based interior design firm, Le Coucou also has a stunning bar that would make for the perfect shot."

"Located on the ground floor at 11 Howard, Daniel Rose and Stephen Starr’s vision of classic French cuisine takes you back to the glory days of lavish dining and haute cuisine. With rows of chandeliers, lush banquettes, and an expansive open kitchen, Le Coucou provides a welcomed respite."

"If you didn’t already know, Brooklyn is home to arguably the best pizza in the entire country, and of course, pizza is some of the best of Brooklyn food to try – and for pizza lovers you will be excited because there are a few options starting with the legendary Grimaldi’s under the Brooklyn Bridge. Grimaldi’s is easily one of the most famous pizza places in New York City and if you’re struggling to decide where to eat in Brooklyn, this is always a great go-to. This Brooklyn food spot has been serving up the best pizza in town since 1990 when it was founded by Patsy Grimaldi using over 100 years of pizza making tradition using a coal oven, one of the few places left that still cook pizza using a coal oven since being outlawed in the city."

"If you didn’t have pizza earlier, I recommend Juliana’s – the pizza is even better than next-door Grimaldi’s (in fact, it was voted the best pizzeria in the entire U.S. in 2015 on TripAdvisor) but it’s not often in the guidebooks so there’s usually no line. If you do this, be sure to save room for dessert at the delicious Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory just down the street."

"But if you haven’t walked across the Brooklyn Bridge to find beautiful, molten mozzarella from this 100-year-old institution waiting for you on the other side, you haven’t lived. 1 Front St., Brooklyn; 718-858-4300 or grimaldis-pizza.com"

"With their annual Valentine's Day tradition of serving a "hands-free" meal, Blue Hill offers an off-beat take on your typical romantic evening. This Greenwich Village restaurant has built a menu focused on seasonally available produce from farms around the northeastern United States."

"All you need to know about this low-key Greenwich Village basement restaurant is that it’s where Barack Obama took his wife, Michelle, on their first date night as president and first lady, in May 2009. Why are you still reading?. Like you can do better than Barack?"

Highlights include wood-fired polenta bread with toppings like Calabrian chili butter and sweet pea and mint pesto, crushed cucumbers with garlic peanuts, mint, celery, and chilis, Everyday Steak and campanelle pasta with asparagus and grilled mushrooms for dinner. Or pop in for brunch to gorge on wood-fired bread pudding, fried chicken and biscuits for two and bacon, egg, and cheese on house made focaccia bread with Trinidad hot sauce."

"This Ridgewood restaurant has quickly become a staple for local goods and cozy wood-fired takeout options, but Rolo’s also debuted a menu of simple (yet elevated) seasonal fare for brunch and dinner in May. The expansive outdoor space can accommodate up to 38 guests and features a roof overhead, simple picnic tables, string lights, and plexiglass separating each table. Available for Reservations"
