Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Cobble Hill, Brooklyn

DailyCandy • February 14, 2014This comfy spot is as close to authentic Kyoto-style as you can get. Daily obanzai (tapas) is a must; the chirashi — a heaping bowl of sashimi, veggies, omelet, and rice — is one of the best around.

Adrian P. • August 25, 2018Probably the best frozen Painkiller in the city. Just like Ramona’s in Greenpoint, Elsa has an extensive cocktail list across a range of spirits. There’s a back patio and snacks available too.

Charlottes • December 15, 2016What a treasure! Enjoyed a fantastic family style meal here at one of the huge window booths. Everything was delicious - with suckling pig the star- and staff super knowledgeable friendly and chill

Daniele C. • July 4, 2018Anti-NY place, good Italian classics. If you are Italian, you’ve gotta go.

Emily W. • July 21, 2017Classic, no-fuss, old-school spot with very good cocktails (Dolores Del Rio, The Erin), and very good food. You want the very good Long Island burger, which comes with very good fries.

Eater • June 22, 2017These are the platonic ideal of bistro fries. A side order gets a towering metal cone of crispy, salty shoestring fries. The serving is plenty big for 2 people to share as a snack with a nice martini.

Benjamin • July 5, 2015Excellent cider selection rubbing shoulders with an even better beer list. Also, spicy cucumber margaritas. ALSO, the friendliest bar tenders in Brooklyn.

Roniel T. • May 11, 2019Open on the weekends, this DELICIOUS cafe has incredible treats (hey, chocolate chip cookie) and savory dishes (the best cheddar+bacon grits) 😍😛

Ian T. • February 5, 2017Great deli. Friendly staff, very clean, nice craft beer selection, cappuccinos and other coffee drinks, and good sandwiches - my personal favorite is the "bona fide icon".

kc • July 24, 2022Can’t go wrong - but the eggplant and lamb were extra tasty. We ordered one of every dessert. And the Lebanese rose was quite good too! Staff was super friendly

Nate F. • December 31, 2016rosemary's stepdaughter cocktail - raw honey gin, lemon, soda, and rosemary sprigs

AmateurConcierge • July 30, 2019Seafood tapas bar from the La Vara crew. Nice vibe, interesting menu but not enough knockout dishes. Def get the ceviche

Ashley Z. • November 19, 2016The special kitfo (ground steak tartare in seasoned butter) really is special, mixed w jalapeño = extra kick. Recommend missir (red lentils) & gomen (collard greens). Milka was delightful & attentive.

F. B. • August 3, 2022Since the arrival of a new chef, one of the best Indian restaurants in Brooklyn. Superb regional specialties. Try the Chettinad Chicken, Bindi Masala, Raan (lamb shank) or goat biriani.

Cole K. • April 28, 2023Delicious pasta and even better chicken milanesa but try to avoid sitting against the wall. That bench is not comfortable.

Marguerite A. • February 21, 2015Amazing tiny authentic longshoremen bar with almost museum level quantity of historic memorabilia. Karaoke is quiet a scene on weekends.

Shay • December 8, 2017Beautiful cozy cafe. Very high ceiling. A few extra seatings on the gallery above. Very nice & helpful baristas. Could be very crowded at times. Some outlets do not work.

cc • October 18, 2021Everyone is so friendly here! Iced coffee is great. Get a chocolate croissant!

Daniel B. • October 25, 2014One of the great pizza spots in Brooklyn. Some of the best veal I've ever had, thick cut and magnificently cooked. Don't be fooled by the plastic table cloths, this place is a classic and phenomenal.

Rashad • September 2, 2014Listen guys! Once you get to Brooklyn try to dine at this cafe you'll experience a real &great food!

J P. • February 24, 2016Everything I've had here is really good- definitely start with the Sultan dip!

KE • February 21, 2022Great coffee, nice baristas, sleek modern vibe, plenty of outdoor seating. Pastries. No restrooms.

Brandon F. • January 19, 2022Good coffee, quiches, and pastries. Careful, a lot of this stuff will give ya a FUPA.

Mark B. • July 3, 2013Great sangria. Warm family atmosphere in Cobble Hill.

miles l. • December 29, 2017Best latte!

Globetrottergirls D. • December 24, 2019Great coffee drinks (they use beans from Partners Coffee) and delicious sandwiches. Lovely neighborhood cafe.

Nico V. • March 11, 2012Best Italian bakery in Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens.

Erik M. • April 2, 2011This is why you live in NYC and especially BK. Enjoy the rich cultural immersion, the Yemeni news, & the wow-wow food!

Compass • May 14, 2014Expertly rolled sushi, lunch-friendly bento boxes, and a casual atmosphere make this a favorite (and flavorful) midday and pre-movie meal option among locals and commuters alike.

Jack C. • October 18, 2015Fish tacos are unreal. Nachos are great. The Brooklyn burrito is way better than chipotle.
