52 Havemeyer St

This southern French spot has changed my perspective on French cuisine! I used to think that French cuisine was plain and boring. Chef Lolo has shown me that French food is the opposite... with a glass of rose and one of the French boards... you're in heaven. Not to mean, the French street food staple, socca. My goodness. I'm obsessed with socca! I'm quite impressed with the Provençal and charcuterie boards. The Provençal board features zucchini on a fried beignet and I love zucchini. The charcuterie board had smoked duck breast, which I have never had on a charcuterie board and won me over. I always want smoked duck breast on a charcuterie board now. I had no idea that French food meant pasta. I personally love the smoked salmon fettuccini as well as the chicken lemon sausage penne (that one is my all time fav). I also LOVE the savory crepes here. The crepe poulette has mussels and shrimps in it -- such a dream!!!!! I can't find the pic I took of it but it's gorgeous and tasty. So if you're looking for a French spot in Williamsburg, this is it!!!!!! Check it out.

Our favorite spot in Williamsburg is back and it still has that irresistible je ne sais quoi. Maison Provence brings a cozy touch of the Côte d'Azur to Brooklyn, and we couldn't be happier. What keeps us coming back? Simple dishes that are beautifully executed and packed with flavor. That's the magic of this sweet little gem in the heart of Williamsburg. Charming, authentic, and delicious everything we love in one place.

This restaurant used to be called Pâtes et Traditions and I fondly remembered coming here in my early twenties. It was by far one of the most authentic and affordable French restaurants in all of NYC. They closed down due to the pandemic but I'm so happy that they're now back in business under a new name, and the food continues to be phenomenal! The French onion soup was so rich and deeply intense in its flavors that we couldn't stop devouring it! Highly recommend! The crepes were all so beautifully constructed and did not skimp out on ingredients as evident in the photos; we got two different crepes and although they're both creamy, they have such drastically different flavor profiles. We got both the tomato penne, which is very refreshingly fresh, like its flavors are light but yet flavorful and not overwhelming. Then my favorite, the duck fettuccini, one of my go-to choice from back in the old days; creamy, flavorful, and seasoned perfectly for us to add however much salt and pepper to our own liking! A must-get! We got the ribeye which although was cooked perfectly medium-rare, its flavor from the sauce was somewhat overly light, which can be a very easy fix in the future. Overall, we love Maison Provence/Pates et Tradition, and we're so glad its quality and passion has not deteriorated whatsoever. Thank you to chef Lo Lo for being so warm, welcoming, kind, and fun to socialize with. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to relive my early memories and I promise I'll be back with my friends and family in the future! Hope my little origami is still there when we come back next, haha! Thank you so much for reading, please give them a try and I promise you won't regret it! (:

Maison Provence was a lovely place to stop for some great wine and some delicious French food, at very affordable prices. They have a cafe feel to the space; it's not huge, but there's also lots of outdoor seating on both sides of the corner lot. Such a great place to sit for a leisurely drink when the weather is nice. The menu is straightforward, with a few options for each type of drink, and some interesting food selections that are inspired by cuisine from Nice (NOT Paris, as the owners were quick to note). Aside from a delicious Pinot Noir, we shared this Zucchini Socca with a merguez sausage, and it was delicious. The sausage was full of flavor and didn't have that overwhelming greasy mouthfeel of some heavier cuts. Definitely a great choice, especially if you're looking for a quieter setting in the Williamsburg area!

Many years ago there was a lovely spot for galettes owned by a Niçois couple on this corner called Pâtes et Traditions. The same ownership team has now returned with an updated but similar menu at the same corner, now titled Maison Provence. The buckwheat galettes remain impeccable - the variety with soft pan fried potatoes remains just as good as I remember it from 2019. Now they've added some other traditional Niçois dishes, including the socca, a somewhat bland but pleasant chickpea pancake that I last ate in the lanes of Antibes. And of course there's no better drink pairing for a meal here than a kir royale. They offer a unique lavender variety, but I have to stick to the classic with cassis.

A Williamsburg gem that somehow got even better We were so happy to return to this place--it used to be one of our favorite spots in Williamsburg before COVID. Coming back today and finding that the flavors are somehow even better than we remembered? INSANE. We came for brunch and are already planning a return trip for dinner. We tried as many crepes as we could fit (plus the French toast, which was out of this world), and honestly? It still didn't feel like enough--we wanted more. Do not skip this place. Bring your friends. Trust me, you'll thank me later.

Charming cosy place feel like I am in Provence in Brooklyn . Food is delicious with several variety of amazing savory and sweet Crêpes ! Warm and welcoming service . This is a must try ! Felicitations Maison Provence well done !

It was such a pleasurable experience from beginning to end. By far our best meal while visiting NY. Try the Chicken and lamb curry crepe! It was comfort food bursting with flavor. The service and ambiance were superb!

Finally the Pates et Traditions people are back with a cafe equally cute and the same quality cooking. The French onion soup, Crepe Normandie, and chicken and lamb crepe were all completely delicious. Glass of Sancerre....finally a good glass of wine! Our waiter was a cheery delight. Not crowded!
