When you hear Bayonne, you may not think “dining destination” — in fact, many of you may not have even ventured into this seemingly far away peninsula famous for various random movie references {not all of them good} and for being next to Staten Island. However, if you’re willing to take that jump onto the 8th street light rail, you might be pleasantly surprised to find there is great dining in both old and new restaurants no matter what you are craving, with a nice little change of scenery. Here are our top dining picks in Bayonne for a foodie-approved meal.

 

Mezcal Kitchen

Harborside Sport + Spine

Newly opened on Broadway, this place has adorable ambiance and authentic Mexican food that tastes delicious, including classic tacos, burritos, huaraches, tostadas and more. It doesn’t hurt that their homemade sangria comes in a giant glass and is pretty amazing (I don’t know about you but finding blackberries in my sangria is exciting). Their weekend brunch {including $20 mimosa pitchers} is nothing to sneeze at either.

Hobbs Inc

Rincon de Espana

If you’re looking for legitimate Spanish food, this place has just about anything you could want, including a killer paella, not to mention their garlic shrimp. Rincon’s homemade potato chips and house made sangria {sense a theme?} are also great menu items not to be missed.

Buon Appetito

It would be remiss not to mention at least one Italian place on this list, which is arguably what Bayonne does best. Not only does Buon Appetito have a great deli where you can get homemade soups and sandwiches for take out, but their dining area has delicious dinner specials in addition to one of the best renditions of penne vodka around.

Otaiko Hibachi & Sushi

Satisfying both your Hibachi and sushi cravings in one location, this place has fresh sushi with a creative spin on their rolls {opt for their Bad Boy Roll — spicy crab and spicy white tuna inside topped with salmon and spicy mayo} and a great sake selection. And if you’re coming with a big group and want some entertainment, they will seat you in the Hibachi section of the restaurant for food and a show.

Little Food Café

This breakfast and lunch spot has enticing and original sandwiches {like the Thanksgiving Wrap and the Bayonne Bomber}, as well as fresh and filling salads and fresh baked goods that are available daily. Sunday brunch is a Little Food staple from 8-2pm on weekends, featuring enormous omelettes and ridiculous huevos rancheros {sorry, no alcohol here, although the coffee is delicious} and the best part is that every breakfast entrée comes complete with a set of adorable tiny heart-shaped pancakes.

Café Talya

This Turkish breakfast and lunch joint is tiny — so make sure you get there early or be prepared to wait. Putting a creative spin on the classics with fresh-squeezed orange juice, vanilla bean pancakes, and the Talya omelette with Turkish sausage, this place is not to be missed. When it comes to service, the waitstaff’s friendliness is top notch.

Pompeii

Pizza is arguably one of Bayonne’s biggest claims to fame — with a variety of great spots to enjoy a slice or pie. Fine diners need not apply here, but Pompeii is a great casual spot to walk in and get a slice – and if you can’t find it, follow the aroma from the street!
