Brooklyn’s food scene is insane — you could eat here for a year and still barely scratch the surface. But after living here and sampling my fair share of pizza, ramen, and dumplings, these spots are the ones I keep coming back to:
Map
I love Chinese food, and the food here is absolutely delicious, and the ambiance is so nice! The cumin lamb is one of my favorites, but be sure you have good spice tolerance!
Antidote
The food here is absolutely exceptional. I highly recommend going for brunch and having their burger and chorizo empanadas. The burger has caramelized onions that are to die for
Meadowsweet
Opened just this year but business is booming, and for great reason. This French inspired menu is beyond delicious. The steak frites especially are a must!
The Snail
A Chinese restaurant in Williamsburg. The brainchild of Yiming and Xian, the Michelin-starred duo behind Cafe China.
Birds of a Feather
The best ramen I’ve have EVER. The broth is so flavorful, and the meat is so tender
TONCHIN BROOKLYN
Very nice casual spot serving Middle Eastern cuisine. The Hummus Meat is an absolute must have dish
12 Chairs Café
Chinese food, absolutely delicious. Great spot for a date
Ren Brooklyn
The steaks here are absolutely massive, and delicious. Best if shared with a small group
Peter Luger Steak House
A NYC classic done to perfection
Apollo Bagels
One of my absolute favoriteeee Thai spots in all of NYC. Everything on the menu is so delicious
the AM-THAI Williamsburg
The burgers here are grilled to absolute perfection and are extremely juicy. One of the best burgers in NYC
Bernie’s
The pizzas here are some of the best NYC has to offer. Come hungry, they sell only pies and no slices
Chrissy’s Pizza
The atmosphere here is so nice, and the food is even better! They serve French food. The dry-aged crown of duck is absolutely phenomenal. The skin is perfectly crispy, and the meat is seasoned so well and is so juicy
Francie
The pizzas here are great, but what can’t be missed are the calzones!!!
Lucali
Disappointed I waited so long to try this place out! They serve Italian food, truly excellent! All the pastas I’ve tried are phenomenal. The whipped ricotta crostini is a MUST, all the other apps can be skipped in my opinion
Misi
Great place for a small bite. The tacos here are insane, some of the best I’ve had ever!
Taqueria Ramirez
The Emmy burger here is amazing. I love a good pretzel bun moment, and the meat is just so juicy
