French cafe with classic dishes and an extensive wine collection
"A sit-down French restaurant originally opened by famed chef Alain Ducasse, offering French cuisine as an upscale dining option in Concourse C." - Eater Staff
"A croque madame is always a good idea, and thankfully Saison serves theirs all day. The cheese on top of the sandwich is beautifully browned, the bread still has plenty of bite without being too crunchy, and the egg is perfectly runny. If you’re searching for something less breakfast-adjacent, their french dip sandwich with prime rib, melted gruyere, and horseradish cream is exactly the type of thing you order to share, but then selfishly hoard the whole thing for yourself." - anne cruz

"I was ushered down a long hallway toward the back of Saison, a restaurant near gate C120 at Newark Liberty International Airport, where an unmarked door opens to Classified; the Saison host greeted me with a knowing, welcoming smile and directed me back to the private dining area as part of the reservation process." - Jake Emen
"I note that Saison began as a pop-up in the Mission about ten years ago and grew into a two-then three-Michelin-starred restaurant under Joshua Skenes; it rose to major acclaim (landing at number 46 on the World’s Fifty Best) before being demoted to two stars when a new chef, Laurent Gras, took over the kitchen. Skenes is no longer involved with Saison, having shifted his attention to Angler." - Matthew Kang
