Hello all. I am looking for a nice place in Ridgewood for lunch -- sushi, Italian, continental, almost anything. Doesn't have to be "fine dining" per se, but I am looking for an alternative to "The Office" or the pub-type place.

Thanks in advance.

Eric

La Tour by the train station is very good.

Bourbon BBQ is just over the Wyckoff border but is wonderful and worth the trip. It's right on Goffle Rd.

Yes, it's very good. I was going to mention Latour in my post. I haven't been there in a while, however, a few times I "fought" the menu a bit. Good recommendation -- thanks.

For the past year I have used The Ridgewood Cheese Shop as a local alternative to Artisinal (NYC) -- however, last week I discovered aside from equal quality, much lower prices, and better variety, Rdg. Cheese 'tastings' go beyond Artisinal.

I am not certain which site to post though since we made it a lunch respite on Saturday -- daiquiri jam over tripple brie, Oregon Smoke Blue Rogue (I bought to serve with Italian Figs and French apricots) a creamy Monte Enebro (far less then charged at Artisinal a month earlier) and a killer Epoisses :) ohh my goodness.

There is a truffle honey that the Shop's owner Rick pours over a Goat Cheese ...

The shop is opposite the Post Office on Ridgewood Ave. - Saturdays the line is pretty long by 10:00 AM; the store has been opening earlier I noticed. I prefer late afternoon during the week when sometimes by 5:00 I can still grab a loaf of bread (always sold out by 2:00 ish on Saturdays).

OK, sharing was my good deed for the day!
