Recette

“Another flawless visit to Recette — hands down one of Williamsburg’s best-kept French bistro gems. Every time I walk through the door, the experience feels effortlessly elevated. The food is outstanding: rich, comforting plates executed with precision and real care. Standouts included the Mixed Mushroom Truffle Gnocchi, perfectly seared steak with vibrant charred broccolini, and that stunning rosemary-garnished berry cocktail that hits every note—refreshing, balanced, and dangerously drinkable. Capped off with a textbook Creme Brulee, crackly torched top and all, dotted with fresh strawberries and blueberries for a playful twist. Service is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming—nothing feels rushed or scripted. The atmosphere strikes that ideal balance: cozy yet lively, perfect for a date, catch-up with friends, or solo treat. If you’re craving elevated French comfort food without pretension, Recette delivers every single time. Easily a repeat favorite—highly recommend.”

“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!!!”

“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”

“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!”

“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.”
