The Destination

Uncle Momo sits just a short PATH train ride from Manhattan to Grove Street in Jersey City, offering a genuine French bistro experience without the transatlantic flight.

With a second location in Montclair, New Jersey, this spot has quietly built a reputation beyond city limits.

The Atmosphere

The space immediately transports you to the Left Bank — classic wall mirrors, wooden cafe chairs, porcelain plates and attentive service create that authentic bistro feel.

The chef is in the back cooking everything himself. There’s a huge oven and a junior chef pounding and stretching the dough right in front of you all the while you’re enjoying fresh oven baked flatbread.

Inside Tip

Brunch served until 3pm every day.

Try the steak and eggs or the Tunisian eggs. Both dishes deliver — executed with the kind of confident simplicity that defines good French cooking.

It's a real surprise. On the new Right Bank.
