Since 1895, this French bistro has anchored the corner of Washington and 10th, making it Hoboken's oldest continually operated bar and restaurant. Originally Dillenger & Jeffson's, it survived Prohibition disguised as an ice cream parlor and hair salon before returning to its roots. The steak frites and smoke-free zinc bar draw crowds who come for the belle époque charm and stay for the bistro classics.
