One doesn’t have to travel across the ocean to find a piece of the French countryside. Located in the residential area of Northvale and named after the owner’s mom, Madeleine’s Petit Paris is a fantastic establishment with a culinary delight. The owner, François, is Swiss and unfortunately was off tonight. He does a very good job of making one feel like one is in France or Switzerland, where my partner, our friends and I came tonight for dinner. Reservations were easily made on their website. Upon arrival, one is seated quickly in what seems to be someone’s large living room or elegant dining room. Their à la carte menu is a fusion of Swiss and French, which has a unique flavor and offers enough variety for everyone. Our server was Al, and he brought complimentary warm bread to us to start our meal. Some of us got to taste their French martini (pineapple vodka, pineapple juice, and raspberry liqueur). For appetizers, we ordered Escargots Café de Paris (out of the shell, sautéed with garlic, herbs, and butter) and Crab Cake Louisiana (jumbo lump crab meat, bell peppers, onions, and bread crumbs over mild Louisiana sauce). For entree, we got Boneless Braised Short Ribs Garnished with Carrots, Celery, and Green Peas over Mashed Potatoes, Pork Medallions Normand (sautéed with apples and Calvados (French apple brandy) over Mashed Potatoes), and Canard Confit à L’Orange (breast is sautéed, leg is confit, served with Grand Marnier sauce and wild rice). We even saved room for desserts and got a soufflé to share one Grand Marnier and the other chocolate. Since we’ve been here several times, every dish has been well prepared and tasty, from the appetizers to the main course to the desserts, with no detail overlooked. We continue to recommend this place and hope to meet the owner on our next visit.

The chocolate soufflé was to die for. Everything was amazing. Would definitely go back again.

My family has been coming here for years and we have all consistently enjoyed delicious gourmet meals with wonderful service in an elegant setting. We have celebrated weddings, birthdays and New Year’s Eve at Madeleine’s and always had the same wonderful experience! The owners are very warm and accommodating. We look forward to our next visit.

Truly amazing. We just had our baby shower here. Easy to accommodate our music, decorations and table shifts. Food was perfect and the staff was on point. Thank you all and especially to Francois for helping us and being hands on the entire time.

Mom and i dined in the day before mother’s day. Each of us having been to France a couple times, madeleine’s did not disappoint. Each dish was expertly executed. The service was carefully attentive, and very generous with some particular requests i made. We felt very cared for and never rushed. Even listening out the back on the way out the kitchen staff sounded upbeat and happy the day before mother’s day (this says a lot). The manager took time to talk to each table later on, if they seemed to want it (was not intrusive and was very easy to talk to). A very positive atmosphere and it was obvious they cared that each party had a personal experience. Thank you, keep up the wonderful work

We went for a random Saturday dinner at Madeleine to try out their French cuisine. Luckily we had no wait time, there were just enough tables to sit two. The restaurant was packed overall. It’s pretty old fashioned town house style inside, but they a beautiful bar and some really nice interior with French touch.

Time honored French restaurant in Bergen County. It’s been there forever and while nice and clean looks it. I guess that’s part of the charm. Food ranges from very good to outstanding. Highlight one of the few places you can get a real souffle!! (Chocolate or Grand Marnier) Be sure to order with your meal as they are made to order and take time.

We’ve been coming here for years and it’s good to know the food and service is still as great as ever. Love the decor as well. Definitely one of the best French restaurants in Bergen County.

The food is outstanding as is the service and ambiance. If you are looking for mouthwatering French cuisine in Bergen County, this is the place for you. Great food! Each flavor can be tasted separately, but the combination of flavors makes the dish come alive.

My husband and i were there for our anniversary. We’ve been coming to Madeleines for so many years for this date, birthdays celebrations and when they used to have dancing once a month, when Madeleine was around.
