18 seat Brooklyn cafe – One of best restaurants in world

Read Time:1 Minute, 6 Second

The Michelin Guide awards one to three stars to a small number of restaurants of outstanding quality. One star indicates “a very good restaurant in its category, worth a stop”. A two-star ranking represents “excellent cooking, worth a detour”, and three stars are awarded to restaurants offering “exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey”. A three-star Michelin ranking is exceedingly rare. As of late 2009, there were only 26 three-star restaurants in France, and only 81 in the world.

Chef’s Table at the Brooklyn Fare grocery, which seats only 18, was honored in the new Michelin Guide New York City 2011, with two stars. Michelin Guide director Jean-Luc Naret said the eatery was one of the best 300 restaurants in the world.

The cafe, which is in its first year of operation, was praised for Mediterranean and Japanese styles, mixed with French technique. The cafe is now one of only 10 restaurants in New York to have two stars and the only one in Brooklyn. New York has five restaurants with three stars.

“I never expected this,” chef Cesar Ramirez told the New York Times. “It’s always about Manhattan, and I’m glad that somebody’s recognizing what people are doing in Brooklyn.” The tasting menu at the restaurant costs $135 and patrons have to bring their own wine.

Krell, Holte,
I have no influence in the restaurant world alas.
If you can’t get in there and have a need to still spend cash, try “Applewood,” or “360.”
But if you just want good food, not snobby service and fancy plate arrangments there’s:
DuMont Burger
Motorino’s
Al di La Trattoria.
-But that’s just Brooklyn.
in Manhattan, if you want steak, the Old Homestead (not cheap) is the best choice (forget Peter Luger, very overrated, overpriced)
In any case Krell, shoot me an email via Alan and let me know when you’re in, we’ll have dinner when you’re in town or something, I’ve been meaning to drag Teeluck out as well who I’m sure has a million recommedations of his own.

SJ,
Thanks for the offer but I am going to be at the mercy of the owner of the company that I work for. We will be in New York but I will be giving a technical talk.

The nights will be spent at Saddlebrook,NJ. Wherever the hell that is….

Side fact, my nickname for him is the New Jersey Devil, named after that folklore monster in those parts. God, I hope he doesn’t read MMA.

And if he does, I commend him on his insightful leadership and steadfast command of the ship.
And he is a snappy dresser as well..

Regardless, I’ll reach out to you on facebook or via Holte. If you’re in town for lunch or just around one of the evenings/nights before you get shuttled back to NJ, we’ll have a beer, or twenty.
There are many nerdy things to discuss.

I’m ready to go eat there. I am going to be in that area on the 19th thru the 23rd so I might have to look it up.
