Voted North Jersey's 2023 Best of the Best Restaurant

The results of the New Jersey Monthly Magazine 40th Annual Jersey Choice Restaurant Poll are in, showcasing readers’ picks for their favorite dining spots in New Jersey.

Balloting took place online in February. The winning restaurants in each category received the most votes in their region—North (Ⓝ), Central (Ⓒ) or South (Ⓢ) Jersey. Ballots from duplicate email or IP addresses were disqualified. Editorial discretion was used when votes were cast for restaurants that, in our judgment, belonged in another category.

Restaurant Lorena's was chosen as the winning restaurant for North Jersey's Best of the Best Restaurant.
