Best Brooklyn Brunch?

August 26, 2008 12:12 PM

NYCFilter: I need to find the best Sunday brunch in Brooklyn, preferably around Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Fort Greene or Crown Heights.

I know there are similar threads out there, but I need more specific recommendations. Price is not really an issue, we're willing to wait a while for a table and we'll eat anything if it's really freaking good.

If price is not an issue, I'd go with Dressler in Williamsburg. Moto and Harefield Road also do great brunch and are more affordable than Dressler.

With the added bonus of being the site of the upcoming NYC meetup!

ICI in Fort Greene is one of the better brunches i've had. Applewood in park slope is good. Stone park cafe is another (also PS). I'll also mention the farm in adderley, in Kensington.

one caveat that applies to basically any sunday brunch is that service is tough. Places jam in the eaters and sometimes they're just slammed.

Seconding Stone Park Cafe.

Also, Melt.

Miriam in Park Slope (and Cobble Hill too). Israeli cuisine. Awesome brunch.

Thirding Stone Park Cafe!! It's the best.

Rosewater is also great.

Olea in Ft Green. End of story. Although, Stone Park does have fantastic biscuits and gravy.

Another vote for Beast and Miriam. I haven't been to Tempo but my friends recommend it.

OK, I take it back about Tempo. I could swear my friends raved about the brunch there, but it looks like they only serve dinner.

I don't know what the best Sunday brunch in the area is, since I usually go to Tom's if I don't eat at home and they are closed on Sunday. But the Beast is tasty. Le Gamin, just down Vanderbilt, is a decent backup, too.

I look forward to eating at the other recommendations, however, since I just returned to the neighborhood after a summer in LA.
