Founded during the 2020 pandemic, Fudgarten quickly became a trusted destination for organic, seed-oil-free meals in Bergen County. We offer a menu built on real ingredients, bold taste, and genuine care—because what you eat matters.

 

Our Seed-Oil-Free Promise

 

At Fudgarten, we believe your health should never be a trade-off. That’s why we’ve taken a bold step to eliminate seed oils from our kitchen, ensuring every dish is crafted with clean, nutrient-rich fats that prioritize your well-being.

​​

Our Commitment to Quality Ingredients

 

At Fudgarten, we believe that the foundation of a great meal lies in the quality of its ingredients. From the very beginning, we've been dedicated to providing dishes that are not only delicious but also align with our values of health and sustainability.

• Grass-Fed Beef: Our beef is sourced from cattle that graze on natural pastures, resulting in meat that's leaner and richer in essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants. This choice supports heart health and offers a more robust flavor compared to grain-fed alternatives.

• Free-Range Chicken: We serve chicken that is raised without the use of added hormones or antibiotics, allowing the birds to roam freely and engage in natural behaviors. This not only ensures a more humane approach to farming but also results in meat that's tender and flavorful.

• Wild-Caught Seafood: Our seafood is responsibly sourced from wild populations, ensuring freshness and a lower environmental impact. Wild-caught fish tend to have a more diverse diet, leading to higher levels of beneficial nutrients and a cleaner taste. 

• Organic Produce: We prioritize organic fruits and vegetables, which are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This not only supports environmental health but also provides produce that's rich in antioxidants and essential vitamins, contributing to overall well-being.

 

Every ingredient at Fudgarten tells a story—one of dedication to quality, care for the environment, and a passion for creating meals that nourish both body and soul.

Freshness Without Compromise

​

At Fudgarten, we believe that the best meals begin with the finest ingredients. Our menu is thoughtfully crafted to align with your wellness goals and support our community:

​​

• Seed Oil-Free Cooking: We prioritize your health by avoiding industrial seed oils, opting instead for healthier fats like olive and avocado oils. This choice supports cardiovascular health and reduces inflammation.

• Locally Sourced Produce: We partner with nearby farms to ensure peak freshness, richer flavors, and higher nutrient content in our dishes. Supporting local agriculture also strengthens our community and promotes sustainability. 

• Organic Innovation: Our commitment to organic ingredients means you're enjoying meals free from harmful pesticides and rich in essential nutrients. Organic foods can enhance digestion, boost energy levels, and support a strong immune system.

 

Rooted in Community

​​

At Fudgarten, we’ve always believed food should bring people together. This place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s part of Fort Lee’s story. During the height of COVID, we supported other small businesses however we could. When a fire displaced families in town, we stepped in to help, because that’s what neighbors do.

We’re also proud to work with Compostogether, a student-run program at Fort Lee High School. Thanks to that partnership, we’re one of the town’s largest compost contributors. The scraps from our kitchen help fuel local gardens and beautify public spaces throughout Fort Lee.

We love this town, and we’re here to grow with it.
