Today I want to share with you a beautiful restaurant that I went to recently: Rats Restaurant, located in Hamilton Township, New Jersey. You can read more about Rats Restaurant on their website, here: https://www.ratsrestaurant.com/about/
As soon as we arrived, we were seated outdoors next to a beautiful koi pond. Our table left us able to view the fish and lily pads, which was absolutely gorgeous.
Just off of the koi pond was a lovely garden with color flowers of every kind. I truly felt like I was in a magical fairy garden.
A relaxing and exotic escape featuring delightful cuisine, spectacular views and elegant ambiance, Rat’s Restaurant is the perfect dining destination.

There were quite a few non-alcoholic drinks that we could choose from, including “Watermelon Cucumber Fresca,” “Blueberry Lemonade,” and “Cherry Spritzer.” We may or may not have tried all three… and loved them all.
On the lunch menu, there are a selection of cheeseboards to choose from. You can check out the menu here: https://www.ratsrestaurant.com/lunch-menu/
Out of the “Artisanal Cheese,” “Charcuterie,” and “Cheese &Charcuterie” options, we went with the “Artisanal Cheese” because I don’t eat meat – and also, I just really wanted to try the seasonal jam.
I paired the jam with cheese and apples, as included with the cheeseboard. Regardless of what combination I went with, I was pleasantly surprised at how well all of the ingredients paired together.
We got four types of cheeses, sliced apples, crostini, cashews and almonds, and the seasonal jam, which was raspberry.
Are you a fan of jams with cheeses? I’m a sucker for a good cheeseboard. And I may or may not want to get married at Rats now. 😉
Much love,
Melissa
