Why go
Latour is worth considering for a quieter Ridgewood special-occasion dinner, especially when the priority is a composed room over a clearly defined cuisine lane.
About Latour
Should you choose Latour in Ridgewood? Latour works as an evening Ridgewood option with a business-casual dress code. Latour is closed Monday, open Tuesday through Saturday from 5–9 PM, and open Sunday from 4–8 PM.
Choose it for a Ridgewood dinner, not for menu certainty
The practical decision is direct: Latour fits plans that need an evening meal in Ridgewood and a business-casual dress code. Its hours point to dinner rather than lunch, with the earliest opening on Sunday at 4 PM.
Because the cuisine or house style is not specified, do not treat this as the obvious answer for diners chasing a particular menu.
Where it fits among Ridgewood choices
For comparison, consider Cafe 37, Meltemi Greek Restaurant, Felina, SGD DUBU SO GONG DONG TOFU & KOREAN BBQ, or Village Green when weighing other dining options. Latour remains a Ridgewood dinner choice, but the best fit depends on the menu, pricing, and accommodation details you need.
Bottom line: choose Latour if the dinner hours and business-casual dress code match the plan.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Latour channels a formal European sensibility into Ridgewood’s walkable downtown, presenting an old-school French-inflected dining room that reads as deliberately refined rather than trendy. The restaurant is tied to classical French and American fine-dining traditions of the 1970s, with technique, structure, and polished service. It’s the kind of place where formality is an asset: guests encounter service rituals and composed preparations that emphasize craft. Sitting outside Manhattan, Latour marries suburban calm with the disciplined elegance of continental fine dining, making it a singular presence on East Ridgewood Avenue.
Best For
Latour is best suited to evening occasions that benefit from formal service and composed cooking: date nights, business dinners, and milestone celebrations are natural fits. The restaurant’s placement within Ridgewood’s independent-restaurant corridor and its association with classic French technique signal an experience designed for diners who plan an occasion rather than a quick meal. Travelers coming from farther afield, those willing to bypass chain options, find Latour rewarding for a special evening out. The room favors conversation and ceremony, so dinner-focused bookings perform especially well here.
Ordering Tips
The menu leans into classical French signatures; the Grand Marnier Soufflé is cited as a house standout and is worth saving room for as a finale. For mains, the list of signature preparations (Beef Wellington, Coq au Vin, Dover Sole Meunière, and Half Roasted Crispy Duck) signals technical, traditional cooking, so choose dishes that showcase those techniques if you want a quintessential Latour meal. Expect composed, technique-forward preparations rather than casual plates, and order with the intention of savoring a multi-course, sit-down dinner.

Where to go if Latour is not the right fit
If the group wants a clearer cuisine choice, go to Meltemi Greek Restaurant for Greek or SGD DUBU SO GONG DONG TOFU & KOREAN BBQ for a more casual Korean meal. If the night is more about room energy and occasion feel, Felina is the sharper cross-shop in Ridgewood.
Restaurant context
How Latour compares in Ridgewood
Latour is the more occasion-leaning choice if the goal is a composed dinner in Ridgewood rather than a cuisine-first meal. Cafe 37 is the safer cross-shop for a familiar neighborhood format, while Felina is the better fit when ambiance and a more visibly designed room are central to the night.
For diners choosing by cuisine, Meltemi Greek Restaurant and SGD DUBU SO GONG DONG TOFU & KOREAN BBQ are easier decisions because the meal style is clearer upfront. Latour makes more sense when the event matters more than a specific craving, but it asks diners to confirm menu and price details before relying on it for a group dinner.
Village Green is the other practical Ridgewood comparison for a local dinner decision. Choose Latour for a quieter celebration, Felina for a stronger room-driven night, Meltemi for Greek, SGD DUBU SO GONG DONG TOFU & KOREAN BBQ for casual Korean comfort, and Cafe 37 for a more familiar neighborhood option.
