Pastry Cook

About the location:

Curated by NYC hospitality veterans Dominique Paulin and Chef Olivier Muller, Faubourg Montclair offers French-inspired fare paired with unique wines, craft cocktails, and attentive service in an elegant bi-level, indoor-outdoor space; featuring private dining spaces and an upstairs lounge.

Opened in 2019, Faubourg’s flagship Montclair location was named as one of North Jersey’s Best New Restaurants of the year by NorthJersey.com, included in the Suburban Esssex Magazine’s Best Of Essex list, and has consistently made NJ Monthly’s annual list of The Best Restaurants in New Jersey , declaring Faubourg as “an institution in New Jersey for fine French dining and celebratory meals.” Faubourg has won over the hearts of locals and New Yorkers alike.

In 2024, the team brought the same thoughtful culinary and hospitality experience Montclair diners have come to know and love to a second location near the Weehawken waterfront
