Worth the Short Drive from Manalapan

Manalapan residents have plenty of familiar options close to home. Edelweiss is worth the trip when you want something different. The menu covers Eastern European classics, grilled specialties, and seafood, all in an elegant dining room with live entertainment and a spacious dance floor.

A Menu Built for Sharing

Start with handmade dumplings, crispy potato pancakes, escargot baked in cheese, garlic, and butter, or julienne (creamy mushrooms and cheese) served in a bread bowl. Cold plates include gravlox, herring with potato, and liver pâté. The assorted meat plate brings chicken roulette, meatloaf, basturma (cured beef), and beef tongue. Try the traditional Ukrainian borscht, or the Duck Salad with duck confit, almonds, cranberry, and mandarin oranges. The Seafood Salad with shrimp, mussels, and fried calamari is a good lighter choice.

Mains for Every Appetite

Finish with crème brûlée, apple strudel with ice cream, or lazy dumplings.
