Modern European Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“There are a few places in the city I'm always a bit surprised at with how easy it is to snag a reservation. If we're going on merit, Gus's should be a competitive spot to snag dinner. I suppose I'm grateful it's not for selfish reasons, but am happy to have them as a surefire vouch anytime anyone asks for a recommendation.“

“Favorite restaurant, delicious food, sublime wine, amazing chefs Robbie & Sam , friendly and welcoming owners, Clement & Simone go above and beyond to make your experience of their gem of a restaurant simply the best! Love this treasure in our neighborhood, make your reservation and try as much as you can on the menu, every mouthful is just wonderful!!“

“My friend and I went for Restaurant Week/celebrated her birthday and the service was impeccable, the complementary amuse bouche was delicious and the food was fantastic. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and my creme brulee was one of the best I've had in as long as I can remember. The drinks were delicious as well! I will be returning, I'm sure!“

“Some meals feed the body. Others remind you why we gather at the table in the first place.

As a business owner and consultant, timing and presentation matter deeply to me - especially when I’m sharing lunch with a client. The food must arrive on time, warm, and worthy of the moment. That’s why discovering Restaurant Moldova and meeting its wonderful owner, Radu, felt like finding a rare kind of partner in professionalism and passion.

Yesterday was the second time I trusted them to cater a client lunch - and for the second time, my client stopped mid-bite and said, “This is the best food I’ve ever tasted.”

That’s not luck. That’s craftsmanship. That’s heart.

So I write this not as a routine review, but as a note of gratitude - for the care you put into every dish, for the pride that shows in every delivery, and for the reminder that excellence still exists, quietly, beautifully, in places like yours.

Thank you, Radu, for what you’ve built.
And thank you, Restaurant Moldova, for turning every meal into a story worth retelling.“

“These are the perogies I dream of. hand made generations old recipe both classic ingredients and newer flavors, vegan offerings too. BaBa’s is a must do for us every time we’re in NYC and recently we enjoyed the hand crafted delights at home when we received a bunch as a gift after having a baby for my postpartum nurturing. Just like the name every pierogis feels like a bit of love from grandmas kitchen straight to the heart ( by way of the tummy) We love you guys and we love babas!“

“We walked in not knowing what the restaurant was and were pleasantly surprised. Awesome food, great atmosphere, friendly owner and staff. I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you.“

“Truly glorious experience with amazing food. The beet salad was delicious, the panna cotta was just-right, the crepes were rich but light, and the overall experience was better than I had hoped. 5/5 would eat there again.“

“My dining experience at "Baku Nights" restaurant was truly exceptional. From the moment we entered, the welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff made us feel right at home. The menu offered a delightful array of dishes, each expertly crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every bite was a culinary delight, and I can’t wait to return to "Baku Nights" restaurant explore more of their delicious creations. Highly recommended!“

“The Golden Leo restaurant is a true embodiment of taste and hospitality. I always know that I can count on delicious cuisine and a warm welcome. The atmosphere here is always so warm and the service is top notch. I recommend it to everyone who appreciates delicious food and a cozy atmosphere!“

“The vibe was really nice! When we got there yesterday, the tables were empty, so we didn’t have to wait at all. First off, HUGE thanks to Sofia and Silina for the amazing service everything was just perfect.
The food honestly felt like art. The portions were super generous, so you can easily split each dish between 2–3 people. We ordered the Eden salad, Eden burgers, pasta carbonara, I think filet mignon, mix of fruits, lava cake, and a few drinks.
Everything was fantastic, shoutout to the chef! I don’t know who was working in the kitchen yesterday, but even though he/she were alone, everything came out fast and tasted incredible. No words. Just thank you to all of you!

P.S. Sofia made a great hookah, everyone really enjoyed it. We’re definitely coming back here again.“

“I had my birthday party at Baku last Saturday and we had a great time. The food was delicious, the music was great, the service was amazing, and the show was incredibly entertaining. Overall, Baku made my 20th birthday feel very special. You should definitely consider them to celebrate any event!“

“Wow, Terra❤️ in Brooklyn completely stole my heart! 💫 The atmosphere is magical, the food is beyond delicious – so refined and flavorful – and the drinks are just perfect. 🍸✨ This place is a true treasure, and I can’t wait to come back again and again!“

“Our guests are arriving around 3:30 on Sunday. We wanted to sit down, have a meal, and chat. I called to make a reservation at this cafe. Artem answered, saying he was the manager. He asked, ‘Will you leave by 5?’ I thought maybe there was a banquet after 5, but I was told, ‘No, we just have two time slots: until 5 and from 6. It’s inconvenient for us otherwise. Even Igor (the owner) won’t be able to help you.’ It felt very rude and unprofessional. I’ve lived in the US for 30 years and have been to this cafe many times (though usually after 6), but I’ve never encountered service like this anywhere before. My desire to visit again has probably disappeared for good.“

“Спасибо большое Алику и Руфату за честность и порядочность! На дне рождение моей мамы, мы по ошибке переплатили не маленькую сумму денег. Только на следующий день мы поняли, что сделали ошибку и переплатили. Мама связалась с Руфатом и Аликом. Сумму, заплаченную по ошибке, администрация ресторана вернула сразу же. Так же хочу отметить вкусную кухню и отличный сервиз!! Спасибо большое за гостеприимство!“

“We have lunch there. Took manti and salad. Food was ok, meat for manti was not best, service was good. But they did not mention in the check that they already included service 10 % on top of your food so if you tip later 20 % you can calculate how much overtip you do :)
prices is no crazy so it was not big impact for us so I saw it but I decided say nothing. But if you bill is big it is important to know and they should mention it. Also 4 % charge on cards which also was untold.“

“Not a bad place, good location, clean, nice staff and most importantly delicious.
It's a shame I didn't understand if this place was popular or not, my friends and I were going there for a Saying goodbye Which we buried 40 days ago. was Monday evening, there were no other customers there except us
The prices seemed normal, we chipped in $55 dollars per person
. There was a lot of beautiful food, I really liked the appetizers - herring, sausage, meat, salads. The compote is generally wonderful, the main dish is delicious fish, I haven't tried the meat,Coffee, delicious tea, delicious Napoleon dessert. Honestly, maybe I was very hungry because I liked everything and I ate a lot, which is not like me usually 😹Two clean large toilets. I think they have a TV there
sometimes, karaoke nights, and otherwise unobtrusive music plays. We ordered a table in advance, I think there were 10-11 people and 750 was paid“

“Delicious desserts and great coffee!“
