They do private events as well and have a catering menu with a wide assortment of items to choose from!

Unlike, other places in town their food doesn’t come frozen or in giant buckets. It’s not a cuisine you can pop in the microwave.

Versatility is one of the reasons people love Evelyn’s above all the other New Brunswick restaurants!

The locals refer to the outdoor patio as New Brunswick’s “oasis.” It’s where to find beauty and tranquility in the middle of a bustling city. While the city pulsates, Evelyn’s is the place to pause and take a breath.

Without Evelyn, there wouldn’t be an Evelyn’s. She’s just the namesake and prior owner, however, the current owner Naji and his family have transformed the place into the Oasis of New Brunswick restaurants.

Evelyn’s menu has a wide variety of dishes and drinks to accommodate any taste bud or diet! Omnivore, carnivore, herbivore, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free.. Evelyn’s has got something for you!

Evelyn’s is a Lebanese restaurant owned by Lebanese immigrants which is one of, but not the only, reasons why the cuisine is so authentic.

Customers can choose between a warm, cozy, sunset-hued indoor dining room or outdoor seating amongst the trees and twinkly lights.

Indoor bar or outdoor bar, indoor seating or outdoor seating!

Naji and his family have been the owners for over 20 years, but if you trace this place back to its origins, you’ll learn that the original owner was a chef named Evelyn. Everybody loved her food, but she was perhaps more renowned for her kindness. Then, Naji and his family took it over. It went from a one-woman show to a family business. The family made an incredible difference, transforming it into the inviting and welcoming environment which it is known to be.
