I love Blu On The Hudson and it has become my favorite brunch spot. Located on the waterfront in Weehawken, Blu On The Hudson serves an exciting menu. Let’s start with their cocktails that are very creative, I think the one that blew me away was their breakfast martini that is made with whisky: not only did it taste good, but the presentation with the focaccia and orange marmalade stuck on the side gave a certain dimension to it. I also tried:
The Not a Guiness, that I got for dinner also, made with black sesame vodka, chocolate stout and espresso liqueur.
The oil on the skin that is made with Aperol, strawberry, grapefruit and Prosecco.
The Mediterranean seaside, composed of gin, mint, thyme and watermelon.
If you do not want a cocktail, you can opt for a tea, theirs being from Le Palais des Thes, a well known French purveyor of tea.

For dishes, they have classics like pancakes, like their banana foster pancakes that are fluffy, as well as avocado toast or scrambled eggs that are cooked with smoked salmon, chives and served on a toasted croissant. I loved this dish: the croissant was flakey and buttery, the eggs were moist and, unlike what I had in the past with similar dishes, it did not have that overly salty flavor that smoked salmon can sometimes bring when cooked. But one of my favorite is their steak and egg: two sunny side up eggs served with a 6oz filet mignon that was perfectly cooked medium-rare and juicy. It came with homemade tater tots that were delicious and made me want to eat more. Another favorite is their lobster roll. Smothered in warm butter, the perfectly cooked lobster is served on a toasted roll, accompanied with a salad and waffle fries. You can also get lobster as a roll, as they also offer sushi on their menu and I have to admit that their Blu roll that is composed of bluefin tuna, spicy lobster and avocado is exquisite.

There is also a plenty of vegetarian dishes: I mentioned the pancakes and their banana foster pancake stack is very good, the fluffy pancakes being perfect to share. An interesting one if the Blue’s Way, that has a Mediterranean touch with the delicious halloumi cheese that is served with scrambled eggs, tomato, tzatziki and a homemade fluffy pita. Jodi loves their vegan Cobb salad that I admit is quite good and looks appetizing. It is composed of tomato, quinoa, chickpeas, avocado, corn and vegan feta and does not look like an afterthought. They also have a vegan sticky bun that we wanted to try, but they did not have any that day…
