Best Restaurants in Fairfield, NJ

This page covers Fairfield in Essex County, not Fairfield Township in Cumberland County. Tucked into the county's northwest corner, the township is split by Interstate 80 and Route 46, with Route 159 also passing through, so many local stops are only minutes from a highway. Fairfield is also home to Essex County Airport, a general aviation field of about 278 acres that many people still call Caldwell Airport.

The township's Dutch roots show in its landmarks: the Fairfield Dutch Reformed Church congregation dates to 1720, and its current building was finished in 1804, while the Van Ness House, built around 1720, is on the National Register. Lakeland Bus Lines runs along Route 46 to Manhattan's Port Authority Bus Terminal, and NJ Transit's 29 and 71 buses head to Newark.
