Demarest Food & Drink
Demarest has a compact neighborhood dining scene rather than a large restaurant district. Current in-town choices center on Hardenburgh Avenue and Park Street, with Greek and Mediterranean food, a traditional local deli, coffee, breakfast and quick takeout.
For a wider restaurant selection, nearby Closter, Cresskill, Haworth, Tenafly and Dumont are only a short drive away.

Coffee / BreakfastDietary-option standard: GF/DF badges mean a current menu supports at least one gluten-free or dairy-free option. They do not mean a dedicated allergen-free kitchen, celiac safety or freedom from cross-contact. Guests with food allergies should confirm ingredients, preparation surfaces and substitutions directly with the restaurant before ordering.
