Having just left Brooklyn for Amsterdam (again, 2 years later), I feel the need to chronicle my greatest food hits before I forget them. I'll aim to do this neighborhood by neighborhood... I hope that others can also add their comments so that this can be a food resource for anyone.
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.
Side note: Barcelona
Long weekend in Barcelona led s some excellent food, a lot of it was vegetarian friendly. Rasoterra is an all vegetarian, organic restaurant in the Barrio Gotico. Excellent. A lot of it comes from their garden.
Bar Seco has 6 types of veggie burgers and organic beef burgers. The servings are somewhat small, its more of a sidewalk cafe than a restaurant, but they are very eco conscious and veg friendly.
Sensi tapas and Sensi bistro. Really fun, lovely owners, very good food. Slightly more expensive but really not expensive- food in Barcelona is just really cheap. Carrer Regomir 4
For Jamon Iberico, especially the de bellota (acorn fed), try Enrique Tomas, c/Argenteria 27.
Not food, but to remember: really nice pedicures at Aqua Bliss fish spa. They spent an hour and a half scrubbing our feet!
