"What exactly is Northern French food? According to Third Falcon, a new spot in Fort Greene, it’s chilled langoustines, salad with duck fat dressing, and a big mound of butter served with brioche that reads like pound cake. Get that brioche, and enjoy it alongside a glass of wine, some curry-spiced shrimp, and a few seared scallops. There are also several large-format options—like sole meunière for two—but unless you’re prepared to spend $100 per person, the smaller plates are definitely the way to go." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, gabe bergado
