Juliette is an ultra charming brassiere in Williamsburg located right next to the famed Egg.
Nested in an area where trendy restaurants open ever so often, Juliette has managed to hold its own. Offering a locally sourced, French inspired menu classic favorites with a twist rule here. The meal we had here was very solid.
The interiors at Juliette are French country whimsy. The space offers locales to suit every mood. There is a vintage barroom up front, a main dining room, a solarium adorned with vines and an extremely popular rooftop bar that is packed during warmer weather.
For those who care, Juliette was recently featured on Project Runway in Episode 9 (Let’s do Brunch)! That is definitely one way you can spend your time here by checking out the scene but for others like me…..the food will occupy you just fine too.

The Almondine Bakery now has a second location in Park Slope!
The former pastry chef from Le Bernardin and Windows on the World Hervé Poussot has been serving up delectable treats at this French patisserie in Brooklyn for quite some time now.
Using ultra fresh ingredients, Almondine offers a host of fresh-baked French goods such as croissants, fruit tarts, muffins, macarons, baguettes, pastries and more. They serve delicious coffee using La Colombe beans from Philadelphia and a decadent hot chocolate made with Valrhona chocolate.
The Park Slope Almondine is housed in a small cozy space with a working fireplace, which seats about 25. Located right by the train station, it is really hard not to make a small detour to start your day just right!

Park Slope can truly boast about this neighborhood gem, which serves up simple, seasonally inspired, delicious food.
Al di La Trattoria is a charming little Italian restaurant where meals are artfully prepared in a rustic environment.
The story behind Al di La is simple…
“Anna Klinger and Emiliano Coppa
met while she was travelling through Italy
they fell in love, moved to Brooklyn,
and opened a restaurant
the rest, as they say, is history
– al di la trattoria –
serving Venetian inspired food since 1998
It is just as straightforward as that!”
At Al di La, they are not trying to re-invent the wheel or bring out super inventive, stellar dishes that blow your mind each night. They serve simple food, made from really great ingredients, that tastes marvelous!
And in that very simplicity they manage to Al di La (to go beyond)!
