"Bar Bête is the least traditional option on this list. The menu at this Carroll Gardens restaurant is identifiably French, but it’s more experimental than most, with fun twists like chicken liver served in a parfait glass with prune jam and butter. That liver is reason enough to come here, and the olive oil poached fish that melts in your mouth is worth a trip as well. Come by for an interesting, casual meal, and don’t forget to explore the list of natural wines. Even on a Monday night, the long room with globe lights and marble tables fills out with locals drinking pinot gris." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, sonal shah, will hartman
