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.

Prospect Heights/ Crown Heights

The spots below are listed from West to East

Vanderbilt Ave. - Prospect Heights

Milk bar- in had an impeccable capuchino here recently. Nice. Cafe open till 6, but not quick. Chuko- amazing ramen bar, don't miss it. Weather up is a bar across the street, great decor and cocktails. Their Averna cocktail is amazing. Joyce Bakeshop: really nice baked goods, nice cafe.

Le Gamin: a small chain, there is one here and another in the W. Village. Lovely backyard, good breakfast/brunch and nice atmosphere. French cafe.

Amorino: Decent pizza and great eggplant parmesan.

Beast: really good brunch and dinner. More meat-focused food. Also some organic options. Lately had half priced bottles of wine mid-week and other deals.

Underhill Ave. - Prospect Heights

Cherly's Global South. Great brunch spot.
