White Maple Café is the latest addition to Ridgewood, New Jerseys' restaurant scene. Due to its contemporary yet rustic decor and their versatile menu, this café stands out in the typical crowd of restaurants in the neighborhood. White Maple offers a variety of options in which all acquire seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, making their menu sustainable and healthy.
For our first visit, we tried out 3 dishes: the Grilled Hanger Steak, the Kale Caesar Salad, and the Kale Pesto Fettucini. All three were fairly delicious; the salad had a light dressing (unlike typical caesar salads' that are overpowered with the taste of parmesan) and the pasta was nicely seasoned and didn't give off a too full feeling, like typical Italian dishes. However, our favorite was the tender steak since it was cut in small pieces, making it easier to eat (plus it came with crispy and crunchy french fries, which was a bonus). If you're in the area and want to try something new, White Maple is definitely worth a visit, whether that be for lunch or dinner!
