Bufon proved to be a wonderfully welcome culinary surprise. The atmosphere is warm, intimate and charming while the service is receptive and courteous without being overbearing.
The culinary offerings, as any excellent restaurant should have, are the star of the show however. The menu is spectacular, with several bold choices that reaffirm their confidence in their decisions where many other restaurants would play it safer. I have to mention the clams, which I believe are...read full review
Tried the food at a wedding and oh my GOD, it is next level good. I cannot wait to come back for a proper dinner. May just be my new favorite restaurant in NYC!
Pretty delicious all around, from cocktails to dishes and dessert. They know what they’re doing, the menu is relatively simple so it’s all in the sharp execution. Service very considerate. All in all just on the smaller portion size for the price. But that’s just new york in 2026.

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.
