Bitches Who BrunchMarch 7, 2017
The real piece de resistance at this French bistro was the pancakes. Oh, those pancakes! They were crispy on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth fluffy on the inside, and don't even need the syrup. Read more

Ok, here is the deal for brunch for two: get a dish you want and the pancakes (they take 60 mins). While waiting for the pancakes you share the first dish and once you‘re done the pancakes arrive!

If lobster bisque is on the menu, ORDER IT. You'll want to bathe in it. You'll want to spend long romantic candlelit evenings with it. You'll want to take it home and introduce it to your family.

Get a Bloody Mary and get something with fries to go with it. It's a popular spot for brunch, but the space is huge so you likely won't have to wait for too long.

The food is amazing and the cocktails are good too. If you're here for brunch, get the duck confit hash! The only downside was that the hostess was incompetent and wasn't very nice...

This Williamsburg eatery is all French bistro dinner business out front, but in the back, Le Barricou boasts a lovely little space with a bar, small tables and a wood-burning fireplace. Read more

Cool place. Nice ambiance and good breakfast dishes. Esprcially the savoury dishes are great. We also tried the pancakes: n they're huge portions, but come with relatively few berries.

A smart man once said,"pancakes are my new girlfriend",and that man is completely right. As a 6' 4" 220lb man, I had tough time finishing these. Not only that. But this place is super affordable.

Honestly the best French food I have had in the city. Sit at the bar and order as much food as you can. Go early, 7ish. Then check out the back room with a fireplace.

Some of the best value brunch in Williamsburg with some of the best vibes, there is always a wait at Le Barricou, and it is always worth it. The cuisine is French, so obviously it is buttery & great. Read more

Pancakes take 30 minutes, but they're worth the wait. Huge serving with some kind of berry butter. Pancake coma to follow.

One of the best brunches near by! Definitely make a reservation on OpenTable if possible. Often long weekend waits. Classic french dishes, amazing cocktails... Walkable, but worth a ~$6 uber ride!

I love this place, always will. Great ambience, delicious food, personal nostalgia... But they are getting cheaper and cheaper in their food portions, a teaspoon of hollandaise sauce does not cut it!

Best Croque Madame I've ever had!!! We ordered a plate of pancakes for 4 people and we still left one of them! They're huge! Definitely made to share! One of the best brunch I've ever had!!! :)
Kate WillskyFebruary 26, 2018
This place has great food and charming decor, but not sure it’s worth the wait. Also the service is spotty and they are literally always out of the croissant sandwich. Just make more croissants guys!!
Christine LFebruary 4, 2017
The pâté sandwich was on point! Pancakes take about 45 min. They're good, but dense and super filling. I recommend getting another as a main and sharing the pancakes with your table.

Great place for brunch, spacious and well decorated. The Duck confit will blow your senses, no mistake about this, and juices are actually fresh squeezed, something I always appreciate
Peter WuJune 28, 2015
The potatoes that come with the eggs Norwegian are out of this world - soft and flavorful on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Shannon KingettJuly 2, 2013
Some of the best food I've had in this city. Everything was amazing. Highly recommend the pork belly, coq au vin, and chocolate cake! So happy to have such amazing food in my neighborhood!

30-40 minute wait on a Sunday at noon. The pancakes take an hour to make, so you have to order it as dessert. Kinda ridiculous. But worth it! Duck confit hash is 👌🏼
Mara LecocqDecember 6, 2014
Great French style simple comfort food. The chicken burger was DELICIOUS: melted Camembert on a juicy piece of chicken in brioched burger buns.
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 15, 2015
The Bitches say: A. Great ambiance for brunch, to-die-for pancakes, and a killer Bloody Mary all at an affordable price. We just wish the service wasn’t so overburdened. Read more

Such a great brunch spot in Brooklyn! The staff is fantastic and the food is incredible. Have a large party? No problem! There is a huge room in the back. 👌🏻
Angelica TorresMay 31, 2017
Pancakes are heavenly and huge. The Norwegian was very good and so was the Duck Confeti. Worth the wait in line.
ThomasSeptember 27, 2014
Good service! Try the escargots, they are sooo good! Same for the lamb. Just DON'T eat a burger here please (!), they're good but it's a french restaurant, not an American ;) !
Olivia SlutskySeptember 17, 2016
The coq au vin was tender & very flavorful. My friend loved the trout and the atmosphere was hard to beat. Definitely will be back to try their brunch!

Stop by for French brunch classics executed to perfection (at a reasonable price!). Combine that with a killer Bloody Mary and a cozy, comfortable vibe - you really can't go wrong.
emily chenJune 19, 2016
Brunch here. Order the pancakes right when you sit down since they take about an hour. Duck confit hash is 🔥.

PANCAKES. I recommend ordering one for the table and sharing because it is heavier than your avg pancake. Also eat while piping hot!

The Baked pancakes are amazing and not to be missed. If you're a fan of bloody Mary's try their version which includes a shrimp cocktail.
Mullica ZudsiriDecember 10, 2018
Great location, there is a lot of seating all the way through the back. Good for groups. All the food is good anytime of day but especially brunch.
Vicky SunMarch 10, 2016
The bone marrow and liver pâté are a must for dinners. For brunch get the duck confit hash. Don't overload on the bread while you're waiting.
Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015
Come for brunch if you've been searching for perfect eggs Benedict: the version here is drizzled with hollandaise and accompanied by salad and home fries. Read more
Kate HindApril 11, 2015
Really good brunch spot. Some of the portions are huge! Pancakes are great but they really are cakes!
Rebecca YiJuly 11, 2016
Get the lamb! Back really opens up and is very cute. Oysters were very fresh. Pork chop was good as well, but the lamb was def the winner.
Graham VoslooJanuary 14, 2018
Cozy atmosphere and tasty brunch food. Spinach and chevre cheese croissant won the day.
Tee ChadzSeptember 9, 2012
Prepare to wait for brunch on Sunday. Totally worth it. The eggs Benedict were cooked perfectly and the salad went well with it. The bloody Marys are EXCELLENT!!!
TiffanyMarch 12, 2016
Cozy French restaurant that serves some kickass brunch food. Try the duck confit hash!

The mussels selection is amazing and so delightfully tasty. Try the mould provencial (my personal favorite) with a glass of single malt scotch whiskey (LAPHROAIG) and you'll be steps away from heaven!
Ya Fen WongJanuary 2, 2017
Cozy atmosphere! Pancakes is a must. Supposedly it takes 40 minutes to make but so worth it.
That GirlJanuary 22, 2019
Brunch central. It’s busy but doesn’t feel it with their solid service. Croque Madam and burgers are faves here. Vegetarian options are good. Vegans are limited but can make it work.
Xy XXDecember 6, 2015
Pancakes!! Get them they are huge and delicious and amazing and incredible

I live this place!!! Almost close to authentic French restaurant. I love the back room! It takes u away from New York( literary. Check it out). Brunch is phenomenal. Huge pancakes ! This is a gem 

The new chef "Soto" is banging. Everything is a lot better (Barricou had always been good). Lots of pallets "orgasm"! The creme brûlée is excellent. Everything is more refined, better quality! <3
Max PerryNovember 5, 2017
Long long wait. Sat down on a Sunday at 1.15pm started eating at 2.20pm! The eggs benedict weren't even that good. But the ambience is very nice.
coleen c.April 18, 2011
i can eat her every week. it's that good. one of the best places for steaks and burgers. good music. flawless decor. great staff. they also have one of the prettiest bathrooms i've ever seen =)
Sally RichardsonApril 1, 2016
Great atmosphere. Pancakes are a 45 minute wait - worth it but too much for one person!
Chet ManciniJanuary 11, 2015
One of the best brunches in the area. Pancakes are insanely good and huge. Restaurant overall has amazing value.

One of the best brunches in the neighborhood - solid bloody mary, and both of the croissant sandwiches are aces
Grace YoonMarch 10, 2019
GET THE PANCAKE. Heads up takes ~45 minutes, but when it comes out it is oh so divine and worth the wait.
