Meet Me At Madison's Brings Latin Flavors to Montclair
Meet Me At Madison's is named for Madison Sanchez, a Montclair High
School student.
“I believe my parents wanted to leave me something that I could learn and expand on,” Madison says. Meet Me at Madison’s offers a mix of Mediterranean diches with Latin influence. The restaurant is part of Watchung Plaza.
Meet Me at Madison’s was primarily designed by my mom, who wanted a modern aesthetic. Meanwhile, my father and his architect together designed the hand-made wave ceiling. “I think it adds a unique touch to the place”, Madison says. The family also researched European design, hoping to create art resembling nature. Latin art adorns the walls, and influences many of the bistro’s little accents. “I love this restaurant because I know it was a project that we created together,” Madison says. “It was important to honor our family relationship by creating a place we all could be proud of. I’m happy to have accomplished that.”
The Sanchez family created Meet Me at Madison’s as a family, inspired by their love for travel and Latin culture. The menu design by Chef Saverio Stassi takes inspiration from his global travels. This enables him to create a menu with an array of flavorful combinations with something for everyone. “The menu is rooted in Mediterranean cuisine with a refreshing Latin influence different from anything I’ve experienced,” Madison says. In the future, the family plans to introduce even more menu items that celebrate their culture and love of food.
The bistro serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as Brunch on Sunday. Signature drinks like the Paciencia y Fe- a creamy, golden Espresso with Dominican Organic Chocolate, cream, and milk.
So far, popular items include the fried boneless Dutch country chicken sandwich, Popeye short pasta, and spicy Chilean sea bass. Meet Me at Madison’s also offers desserts like Basque cheesecake with Dominican chocolate tahini sauce, creme anglaise, and rhum foam.
Breakfast options include cold pressed juices, an array of coffee drinks, avocado toast, Eggs Benedict, and breakfast sandwiches. They also serve an assortment of wraps, sandwiches, and salads, including croissant sandwiches and a Quinoa Caprese salad. Click here to see the full menu.
