Great spot in the LES for a cozy dinner and drinks!
*we made an reservation, even tho it’s not necessary. Walk-ins are welcome.
Bluefin tuna carpaccio - I loved the daikon underneath the tuna, very crunchy and refreshing too.
Beef tartare - I liked it in the beginning, but it sorta went too oily and greasy? Felt like could’ve used a lemon wedge next time instead.
Duck - probably my favorite dish here. The pickled cipollini with the sauce… wow! I didn’t know grilled dates were that sweet and a perfect...read full review

The mushroom pasta haunts my dreams, it’s soooo good. Love the environment and lovely staff. Dessert was perfectly sweet, tangy, and had a hint of salt.

Bufón is a spectacular and exceptional dining establishment, often described as incredible and one of the best in the neighborhood. The restaurant features a great looking space with lots of character and a beautifully designed ambiance. The staff is incredibly attentive and super helpful from the moment you walk in, with specific praise for the host and servers. Service is great, with thoughtful touches like checking on food allergies upfront and providing coat check.
The food is delicious, unbelievable, and nothing short of fabulous, with generous portions for the price. Standout starters and shared plates include the fluke crudo, little neck clams, tuna carpaccio, sunchokes, and a salad with persimmon and pear. For mains, the duck with grilled dates, red snapper, ribeye, bavette, and pork chop are all excellent and top notch. Sides like confit potatoes, string beans, spicy string beans, and fries are also incredible. The drinks are tasty, featuring perfectly balanced cocktails like the briny Bufón martini and a well-paired wine list. The meal can be life-changing, ending with the best dessert in recent memory, a passion fruit tart on a ritz cracker crust. Guests consistently recommend it and can’t wait to come back again and again.
