💋 Meet Me at Madame: Jersey City's Most Fabulous Secret
Published on June 17, 2025
Hi, I’m Cat Riechers, the foodie behind @njfood_travels! I love traveling, sports, shopping, and of course, discovering amazing restaurants all over the map. My food blog adventure began in July 2019, with the thought of ‘if I’m going to recommend a place to visit, I should show you a picture why’. What started as a fun idea, quickly blossomed into a full-on foodie journey. I’ll travel anywhere for food and I have a team of foodterns (my family and friends) who know that the camera always eats first. I love meeting with restaurant owners and their staff, hearing their stories, and showcasing their passion. Promoting and supporting local NJ restaurants and building community connections is what makes this adventure truly special!

Check out our whole adventure here
If you're strolling through Jersey City and hear laughter, clinking glasses, and the faint echo of disco beats — congratulations, darling — you're getting warmer. Follow the glitter trail, ignore Google Maps for a second, and just trust your instincts. They’re probably leading you to Madame, the city’s most fabulous, and downright fun spot to sip, snack, and sass it up. It’s Jersey City’s modern French bistro tucked inside the iconic White Eagle Hall!
🥂 The Vibe: Equal Parts Drama and Disco
Walking into Madame feels like crashing a party you didn’t know you were invited to — but everyone’s thrilled you showed up. Think: Studio 54 meets French cabaret with a splash of 90s house party. There’s velvet. There’s mood lighting. There’s that one person in the corner wearing sunglasses at night, and yes, they do look cooler than you — but they’ll still compliment your outfit.
Whether you’re there for a sultry date night or rolling in with your ride-or-dies, Madame doesn’t just set the vibe. She IS the vibe.
🍸 The Drinks: Potent Potions & Sassy Sips
Warning: the cocktails here are dangerously flirty. From the floral notes of the Josephine Baker to the smoky allure of the Madame Claude, each drink is crafted to impress.
Oh, and the bartenders? They're basically mixologist magicians!
🍽️ The Food: Bold Bites Only
Madame doesn’t believe in boring food. The menu reads like a fever dream in the best way — French-inspired with modern twists:
Pomme Frites Truffle that make you question your loyalty to any other potato
The Madame Burger so decadent it should come with a love letter
French Onion Mac & Cheese so fancy that probably has a trust fund
🥂 The Vibe
Imagine a 1970s Parisian hotel lobby meets downtown speakeasy. Dim lighting, velvet booths, and a bar that whispers, “Stay a little longer.” Whether you're on a date, out with friends, or just in the mood for something fabulous, Madame sets the stage for an unforgettable evening.
