All around wonderful restaurant, they also have a great happy hour with good priced cocktails and tasty beef tartar and kale salad. The French onion soup was some of the best I have had in NYC, combined with sitting outside on a summer or fall evening it was just all around a perfect feeling. The steak was extremely tender and the sauce was so good, they should consider serving extra sauce to dip your fries in it. The pasta was creamy and filling without being too heavy, the short rib in it was robust with flavor as well. Only thing could have been improved was a little more salt on the fries and fried mushroom, otherwise almost everything was perfect. Service here was extremely accommodating and everyone was very nice.
This place is an absolute gem. We came here for brunch and the atmosphere food and service are top-notch. We can really tell that there’s a lot of love that goes into each aspect of our dining experience. We would definitely recommend this to our family and friends and hope that you get a chance to try it as well.
LOOOOVVVEEE Recette- this really is a gem of a spot in Williamsburg. They have some of the best espresso martinis and cocktails I’ve tried, on a lot of nights they’ll have live jazz playing in the background 🙂 Try their duck, their short rib pasta, their brunch menu is really good too. Pomme pureé is to die for. Plenty of good options to try Their staff is super friendly and personable, in particular love the host/waitress (Ana & Andjela) and the bartenders (Max and Igor). So hilarious!
Definitely recommend this place. Food was fresh and delicious, served quickly. Everything we ordered was 10/10. I highly recommend French Onion soup! Drinks were amazing. Service was great, our server was Zdravko, he was very nice and made our experience very welcoming. We will definitely come back to this place.
I just popped in here for a glass of wine before I had to head back to Manhattan. They had a great orange wine. The bartender let me try it before ordering. Its a very cute copy French bistro. I did want to try a few more of their wines but I didnt have time (also didnt want to get tipsy). Stop by if youre in the area! Did not try the food or really look at the food menu
Food was great, atmosphere was amazing, and service was perfect. Came on a random Wednesday night for dinner with my girlfriend and was ecstatic to see a live band playing. Made the mood and environment so much better. The food came quickly and was all delicious. Our server Ana was even better. She always came and refilled our water at the perfect time. She constantly gave us clean plates and clean utensils. She had the perfect energy and the perfect attitude. I’ve only been here a few times, but I would come back solely on Wednesdays to hear the live band for the 10/10 service by Ana.
Everything was absolutely delicious! The service was excellent and our waiter Zdravko took great care of us. Very attentive, friendly, and professional. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely come back!!!
Went for the valentines day prefixe menu. Delicious filet mignon. Lobster tail meat didnt easily fully come off as there was still meat that stuck on. Delicious food and the space was small but they fit in a lot of couples. Highly recommend for a nice brooklyn vibe for french date spot. Book way in advance for holidays!
Went here with a group of 10 for NYE and we had a fantastic experience. The food and drinks were great, the interior was pretty and warm, and the staff was absolutely fantastic. The were very attentive, kind, and so accommodating. At the even of the meal, our server handed us a round of delicious grapefruit shots and took care in making non-alc versions for the people in our party who weren’t drinking, which was so fun and generous of them. Highly rec for a large group (~$50 pp without drinks, ~$75 pp with drinks). Thank you so much for a lovely time Recette!
My evening at Recette was truly exceptional — a perfect blend of cozy Brooklyn charm and lively bistro energy in the heart of Williamsburg. The atmosphere feels warm and inviting, with great music setting a vibrant yet comfortable backdrop and a bar pouring fantastic, well-crafted cocktails that kick off the night beautifully. The highlight of the meal for me was the branzino — fresh, beautifully seasoned, and a standout dish that paired wonderfully with the relaxed yet sophisticated vibe of the space. In short: great drinks, delicious food, delightful music, and a cozy neighborhood spot that makes every visit memorable.
