One Bergen Restaurant Named Among Best Waterfront Spots

There’s something about dining by the water that makes every meal feel a little more like a getaway.

From waterfront seafood shacks to upscale restaurants overlooking the Hudson River, NJ.com recently highlighted its picks for New Jersey’s 31 best waterfront restaurants for summer 2026 (View Story), recognizing destinations that pair memorable views with standout food.

For those interested, the specific way the list was tabulated wasn’t shared with readers.

The only Bergen County restaurant to make the list was Taverna Veranda in Edgewater.

It was praised for its Greek-Mediterranean menu and scenic setting along the Hudson River, noting that its “playfully named cocktails are best enjoyed on the massive terrace that overlooks the Hudson River.”

The publication also highlighted the restaurant’s interior design, saying “the thoughtful interiors, like the bar made from an entire tree, are worth stepping inside for.”
