Kind of an under-the-radar pick, but the burger here is one of the best I've had in NYC. Also, if you don't order the Scotch Egg I'm going to come down and punch you in the face. It's delicious.

If you like menus that say things like "Ginger macerated strawberries" and "lemon breadcrumbs," this is the farm-to-table spot for you. My friend had the asparagus frittata which looks like this.

I'm obsessed w/farm-to-table spots & this one is fab. Great atmosphere. Once you get there (it's out of the way) try the burger (medium not well) but don't splurge on truffles fries. Duck fat is enuff

AMAZING. maybe my new fav restaurant in NY. Had the peking duck with sweet potato dumplings,caramelized beets and apple cider reduction and I'm still dreaming about it. MUST GO TO WHEN IN NYC!

This is a great place to go with vegetarian friends. There are meat dishes but also a good selection of vegetarian dishes. I had a celery root pot pie and it was incredible.

Hidden Gem of Orchard Street. The place is quiet and food is delicious. Go on Sunday and order the Scotch Eggs, the friend chicken and share the homemade donuts.

This place is amazing for dinner+brunch. Farm to table-fresh season vegetables, amazing vibe, great both for dating and big groups of people. Root pot pie, english breakfast and coffee are exquisite!

Duck fat fries & a cool vibe on a quiet street down on the LES. Get a drink and catch some live music across the street at their sister joint, the Leadbelly, after your meal.

Carrot appetizer with crispy kale, seaweed and avocado $16, grilled cheese with house made pickle $11 also good. Skip monkfish green curry that lacked both fish and flavor $26. Relaxed setting.

The portion of the food was bit small. I was still bit hungry after the meal but it is such a cute brunch place! Also, the food was really good. Highly recommend to make a reservation in advance!

The Fat Radish’s Beet Crumble: Served warm in a bread loaf pan, this at first appears to be dessert-like, but with melted goat cheese and hot beets beneath it, it's more of a savory surprise. Read more

Had a great heavy/light combo by sharing the bacon cheeseburger (w/ duck fat fries!) and the fat radish plate (chock full of fresh seasonal veggies). Will def be back to check out the Scottish egg.

What a great brunch spot! Fantastic potato cake with poached eggs! Great service and ambiance. Be prepared though its cash only for brunch

A great place to come for either brunch or dinner if you're looking for a British-skewed menu that's a bit higher end and healthy. We LOVE the Scotch Egg.
Hannah GMNovember 17, 2016
Lovely spot for a meal! Excellent cheeses from Saxelby's and the scotch eggs shouldn't be missed. Great options for vegetarians and omnivores alike.
Jess SJanuary 29, 2013
Fresh vegetables/greens & great selection of oysters. The market lettuce salad w/avocado & sesame vinaigrette was the most delicious thing I've had in a long time. Good wine list too.
Andrea BarrezuetaSeptember 23, 2014
Amazing and lively even on a Monday night. The porgy and the chicken were outstanding. The service impeccable. Really great place. Can't wait to be back!

You can't go wrong with the scallops (w/bacon jam!) or the burger. And scotch eggs are a must - especially if you're British & used to cheap pub versions ;) Yum. Definitely coming back here!
Raphael LangenscheidtJune 2, 2017
Great burger and duck fat fries. Tomato salad was a bit 'meh.' Skip the donuts, but definitely try the banofee pie. Great for dates or groups (if you make reservations)

With all the creative options on the brunch menu, don't be ashamed to order the pancakes. They're ridiculous.

An upper tier burger with excellent duck fat fries. Order it without tomato to avoid burger & bun slippage.

Inspired by London’s original Covent Garden marketplace, it has a slightly industrial, yet cozy “homey” feel to it. Read more

Bacon cheeseburger has some kind of inter-galactic cheddar that will make your mouth dance on its toes. Duck fat fries are no joke, super yum and almost the size of a very large cucumber.
Kate FurmanSeptember 28, 2015
They take open table reservations, and is cash only.

I love the food and people here so much! A gem! Everything is great. And that banouche for dessert! Boyyyyyy it’s fantastic!!
Netto NevesAugust 19, 2015
Nice, cozy, not so comfortable, delicious food and average dessert. All in all, a 8/10 restaurant with a wonderful name
Rachel LippmanMarch 8, 2012
Food was hyped. Salads were the best part great esp. kale caesar. tried the scotch egg and beet crumble which were waay too rich. Enjoyed the ambiance though & fun bluegrass music through the night
Alex RainertJune 23, 2012
People! Good scotch eggs are hard to come by. Egg wrapped in sausage (what?!) and then deep fried (!!!), served with killer spicy mustard.
Johnny W.November 27, 2012
A bit of a hidden gem. Try anything on the cocktail menu, especially their version of a dark and stormy. The burger is spectacular and a personal recommendation.
@JaumePrimeroMay 2, 2013
The green curry monkfish was divine. Order the kale Caesar salad and the poached egg for appetizers. Loved the radish amuse bouche!
Sydney FriedmanFebruary 8, 2015
Everything is delicious. Avocado toast w eggs and potato cake are both highly recommended

Meals here start, aptly enough, with a gratis plate of radishes. Dishes are lighter and more vegetarian-friendly than your average gastropub. Case in point: sweet pea pot pie.

The Bitches Say: B+. Fat Radish has an inviting atmosphere amidst an off-the-beaten path location and offers comforting twists on English classics. Read more

Make sure to get the deviled Brussel sprouts and truffled duck fat chips. And any main will make your mouth water
Anna FrenkelOctober 25, 2010
Great food, staff + atmosphere. Celery pot pie, if on menu = amazing, pumpkin salad, any of the entrees, caramelized banana & cream to top it all off. Tonight's a good night to have lots of wine.
Nadia RiepenhausenJuly 28, 2016
Lovely gastropub vibe. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend the pork chop!
Mimi WFebruary 9, 2011
so delicious and indulgent. try the beet crumble with goat cheese (feeds 2) and the monkfish vindaloo. if you're up to it, split the chocolate bread pudding. I give it 3.5 stars bc of the slow service
Jennifer LogueNovember 14, 2014
Everything is amazing here!! Loved the fat radish plate, the scotch eggs, celery root pot pie...:-)

Congratulations! You have arrived at my second home. Make sure you have the Cheeseburger with Duck Fat Fries! Tell your server to give a kiss to Chef Matty Bee in the kitchen. He's haute.
Jag FirerwalkerJune 5, 2017
Mind blowing. Just the scotch egg makes me want to come back. A pricy, but great for any meaningful event
Escape2NY FestivalJuly 18, 2011
A taste of London in NYC. You won't go wrong ordering the Scotch Egg. Silkstone, Fat Radish owners, are the onsite caters for Escape To NY. We're getting hungry just thinking about it!

excellent vegetarian brunch options. kale quiche with Vermont queso del inverno.

The Scotch Egg and the Beet Crumble are to die... Haven't gotten to the Celery Root Pot Pie but things are looking good.
BluePrintMarch 28, 2011
We loved this place for dinner. The ambiance is hip and cozy, and the food is inventive and seasonal. We can't wait to check it out for brunch; the menu looks divine!
Untapped CitiesJuly 18, 2018
Also noteworthy is the restaurant’s casual, but cozy ambience: its rustic vibe closely matches that of an apartment in Williamsburg. Read more

I like the BLT sandwich. Service is great. The place is beautiful
Francis UdlerJuly 30, 2015
Food was tasty and interesting. The potato pancake was so creamy and hardy. Warm banana bread to die for.
Adrianne BenzionFebruary 5, 2012
Pot pie, beet crumble & mussels special were fantastic. Man-o-war Sauv Blanc was delicious ans refreshing. Paired really well with all the veggies
Daniel PowellFebruary 27, 2017
Burger and duck fat fries was the play but want to go back for the monkfish - food was really good
