Café Panache

Café Panache stands as a beloved culinary institution in the heart of Ramsey, New Jersey, having delighted diners for nearly four decades since opening its doors in 1985. This multi-award-winning BYOB restaurant, founded by the late Chef Kevin Kohler, has become synonymous with exceptional farm-to-table dining in Bergen County. The menu showcases Kohler's unwavering commitment to using only the finest farm-fresh fruits and vegetables, free-range, grass-fed livestock, and the highest quality seasonal ingredients available. Signature dishes that keep patrons returning include the exquisite housemade filet mignon ravioli draped in luxurious truffle butter, the crispy confit duck leg paired with a vibrant citrus-ginger gastrique, and the elegant panko-crusted halibut served over black forbidden rice with a delicate wasabi-sake sauce. The elegant yet welcoming setting creates the perfect backdrop for both intimate dinners and special occasions. Café Panache offers private event hosting in their intimate dining room, accommodating up to 35 guests, or the entire restaurant for larger gatherings of up to 70 people, with custom menus starting at $65 per person. Recognized by The New York Times, The Record, and 201 Magazine as one of New Jersey's premier dining destinations, Café Panache continues to define excellence in seasonal American cuisine.
