The Best Places to Eat in Bed-Stuy Right Now

"Dept of Culture is a Nigerian restaurant unlike any other in the city, focusing on cooking from the state of Kwara. And while the $100 prix fixe menu puts it in the fine dining category, the restaurant has made a name for its casual vibe. It represents a growing trend towards dinner party-style restaurants, where pepper soup and joloff rice are served around a communal table with strangers. Note: Dept of Culture landed on Eater’s list of the best restaurants in America in 2022, and getting a reservation here takes some planning. Luckily, the team has a more casual, easier-to-get-into sibling Radio Kwara nearby in Clinton Hill." - Eater Staff
