I'm a little bit obsessed with food. I think that a mediocre meal is a colossal waste of time. When planning a trip, I look for places to eat before I even start looking for a hotel. So, I hope that this can be a resource for any who wants a good meal in Brooklyn. This list favors organic, local, high quality ingredients, good vegetarian options, and informed staff that care about food and wine. Not all the restaurants on this list fit the bill, but many do.

Park Slope

5th Avenue
Off 5th Ave and St. Marks: Melt. Good brunch rarely a wait, really cute 70s place.

Al Di La: Very solid Italian. Always a wait.

Blue Ribbon Brooklyn: Go for dessert. The chocolate chip bread pudding is a dessert for 4 people (as you would hope at $15). Cold ice cream, hot chocolate sauce, warm crispy bread pudding. YUMM.

Blue Ribbon Sushi: next door, really delicious. Pricey.

Song: Thai food on 5th Ave and 2nd St. Pretty good very affordable thai food. Loud and hipstery. The sibling of Joya on Court St.

Moutarde, 5th and Carroll St. Good fries and eclairs.

Bierkraft: beer shop, ridiculous variety, back yard to drink it, and amazing sandwiches. Each sandwich is $10 and large- a full meal for 2 people.

Bogota: 5th Ave and St. Johns. Yummy for brunch or dinner. Usually packed and loud. Yummy.

Union St.
Rosewater, on Union St. and 6th Avenue, is a lovely brunch. I love the breaded cod cakes and poached eggs so much that I order it every.single.time. Coffee is not the best though.

Scottadito, next door to the Food Coop, is really fine- organic Italian, brunch and dinner, not usually a wait. For some reason I rarely go there, but you could do a LOT worse.

Blue Apron Fine Foods: good for gourmet provisions, and on weekends they carry amazing croissants.

Sweet Melissa, on 7th and 1st St. Good pastries, particularly the little passion fruit tarts. There is a Sweet Melissa on Court St. too.

South Slope

Cafe Grumpy: 7th Ave and 12th St. Serious coffee.
