Yellow cake at Bar Bete, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn

Brigid

“Cozy, friendly, great wine list”

Claire Simon

“There is no greater restaurant. Food 100, service 100, vibes 100. The duck fat potatoes will change your life and the feta with pickled blueberries is iconic.”

Phoebe

“The definition of a classy neighborhood spot, with minimalist design, smooth service, and a French-inspired menu that changes frequently. I’ve had and loved the oysters with chili oil, tuna toast, and leeks vinaigrette. The yellow cake is worth ordering, both for the nostalgic birthday-cake flavor and the dramatic swoosh of chocolate frosting.”
