BKB | Brooklyn Brasserie

This newish spot in the neighborhood is amazing. Food is really good as well as the drinks. What I really love about the space is the aesthetic and atmosphere. This place is equally amazing from bar to the floor. I recently stopped by during our “snow storm” and it was the perfect place to be to stay cozy. As someone who works in the industry I’m always judging a spots vibe and this place is it. They’re usually playing some sort of Spanish house music that is such a vibe. I’ve shazamed multiple songs here. The owners, or maybe managers, are so friendly. You can tell they just genuinely want everyone to have an amazing experience. Only ever sit at the bar, but the bartenders are great as well. There’s other little details and could add to explain my experience but I’ll leave it as exactly that. This place cares about the little details. In the way they’ve decorated to the way they take care of their patrons. So glad I live close to this spot because it’s definitely my new go to.

BKB was aesthetically pleasing and provided an elegant, warm, and welcoming dining experience, perfect for a romantic date night or a simple casual dinner with friends. Victoria (Tori) took such amazing care of us throughout the entire night, she was sweet, warm, friendly, and her service was reflective of what exemplary service looks like! The other staff were also pretty on point and helped replace plates quickly without us asking, which we appreciated! Only thing that was a bit off was we got our complimentary bread late where it arrived alongside our main entrees and not alongside our appetizers to start our meal, which kinda overwhelmed us with everything coming all at once. Our appetizer, the chicken wings with creme fraiche dip was delicious and highly recommend, along with their crispy frites! Now let's talk about the entrees! The mussels, steak, and chicken stew pastry were all phenomenal with great flavors and I highly recommend them! However, there is room to make them even more amazing. The mussel were plentiful, fresh, and meaty; it came in a pretty tall pot, where the extremely flavorful broth only reached 1/4th of the mussels on the bottom, resulting in the top being a bit drier than we'd like, which is a simple fix! The steak was very flavorful and paired perfectly with the salad and potato gratin, but it could use a bit more peppercorn sauce since only the top pieces had the most sauce (as evident in the photo) that didn't trickle down to the other slices; another extremely easy fix! The chicken puff pastry was perfect in flavor and texture (though could use a bit more puff pastry), it just didn't really look that aesthetically pleasing as you can see from the photo, where it looks like just a blob; I believe a bit more pastry or a bigger piece of pastry on top can make it look more appetizing! Overall, we had a wonderful time thanks to Victoria and the manager's kind and welcome nature! Their food is very reasonably priced and its quality is top tier, with our critiques being quick fixes that can further elevate them easily! BKB offers such creative and delicious selections that I have no doubt they'll continue to surpass expectations moving forward! Will definitely be back to try their many other selections and I can't wait to come back to give them the 5th star I know they're capable of easily getting! Please continue to do your best and become one of the best French restaurant in all of Brooklyn that I know for sure BKB has the potential of being! Thank you Tori and Clauss(?) for the wonderful and memorable experience! Please give BKB a try, I promise you won't regret it! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

We accidentally found this French Restaurant steps away from an event at Akwaaba Mansion in Brooklyn. It didn't open until 4pm, but the staff graciously allowed us to come in around 3:45pm & have a drink until they opened. Ambience was serene and cozy, the waitress, friendly,personable, and attentive. My chickpea/beet/eggplant salad with sauté shrimp was excellent. My daughter's burger and fries in the brioche bun with swiss cheese was juicy and tasty. Cost was moderately priced. What a delightful find!

I was so excited when I learned that this Brasserie was opening, and they did not disappoint. The space is beautiful and I dined at the bar on both visits. The bartender Emilio is wonderful and in addition to serving up some delicious drinks, he made some solid food recommendations off the menu. The Moules Frites Dijonnaise and Tarte Flambée Classic, so good. Halfway through my meal I saw the roast chicken arrive for someone near me and I had to return to try it. This is the best roast chicken in Brooklyn, definitely come for this and don’t forget to get a side of green beans too. Thank you for adding this absolute gem to our neighborhood, can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu 😊

Such a great find - can’t tell you what I loved more, the food or the vibes. I was with a big group and we ordered a good portion of menu and shared all the dishes. (Also, great set up for group dinners with the long bench and comfortable seats.) Everything was amazing but the stand outs were the bitterballen, sweet fresh oysters, frites (must get the sauces), chicken wings, tarte flambee (both classic and veg were incredible - veg had sweet deeply roasted peppers which melted in your mouth) AND all the entrees were incredible - we got reclette on the burger (strong cheese) which was life changing. My only critique is that I wished the mussels were served in a shallower dish so I can get to the incredible broth easier :) Also, they have a great selection of Belgian beers which the group enjoyed but I stuck to white and rose wine which were perfectly chilled and crisp. We were there for over 3 hours and the service was great - so attentive and we never felt rushed - the closest to a European dining experience you’ll get on this side of the Atlantic. As the sun set, the vibes turned from elevated cafe to sexy disco with jazzy music and warm lighting. Will definitely be returning - looking forward to trying out the brunch and watching some soccer!

Had a wonderful anniversary dinner with my partner here. We were a fan of Mama Fox, the restaurant that was here before, and it still had a similar, but enhanced ambiance! The food and drinks were incredible! I definitely recommend the tiramisu! The service was great, but almost too attentive. Maybe it was a slower night but I felt like someone came by our table maybe 20 times. But it was well meaning and still very kind. A bit pricey but it feels like you get what you pay for. Highly recommend!

BKB is a great neighborhood spot. The owners are always there making sure everything goes smoothly and the staff is sweet. I love the beverage selections — especially the wines — and I got to try the food for the first time yesterday and was so pleased. Their fries are amazing and I loved the caesar with steak!!! The steak was perfectly cooked and the salad was well dressed.

Food and service were phenomenal. We came with our two little ones- there were a few other kids there at the same time. They have a few Belgian beers on tap. I got Gulden Draak and my husband got the Bernardus. We got the flatbread, brisket sliders and mussels- all amazing. The sliders and flatbread were more than enough for my kids to share. The Belgian waffle made an outstanding dessert as well. Will absolutely be returning! Their current hours are 4-12, but the hostess named that they will soon be open for brunch at 11.

Andrew!!!! Thank you so much!!! We celebrated my best friend's birthday tonight and he was so patient, attentive, and overall so hospitable and lovely with 17 guests to serve! Food and drinks were amazing, but the service was the highlight. Thanks to all the staff!!

If you're in Brooklyn and looking for a lowkey spot to unwind over a glass of wine or a well-made cocktail, BKB is worth a visit. The vibe is calm, good music, the lighting is dim (and honestly, there's just something about a dimly lit bar that makes everything feel right), and the drinks hit the spot. I came to BKB with every intention of ordering the salmon, but when I asked my waiter whether the Salmon or the Steak Au Poivre was better, he didn't hesitate "definitely the steak." I liked the confidence, so I went with it. Glad I did. The steak was on point, perfectly cooked with a rich peppercorn sauce. It came with a potato gratin that looked good but could've used a little more flavor. To finish things off, I tried the Gauffre Belge for dessert, and it was surprisingly good, sweet without being over the top. Overall, BKB is a solid neighborhood gem, good food, great drinks, and a fair price point. Most entrées run between $20-$33. Definitely a spot worth checking out when you want to relax, eat well, and sip something good.

I'm kind of upset because I took only one picture when I should've taken 1 million, but I was so invested in my Mezcal delicious drink while dropping my face deep into my bowl of mussels. This took over an old location that I deeply hated and I am so happy that it was replaced with this establishment. Food is great. Drinks are popping. I saw a bunch of beautiful Black people. And whoever the young man is behind the bar with the glasses, I can't remember his name right now, but he had me rolling. He had such a beautiful energy, and it was absolutely infectious. I'm trying not to go back today because I know I'm gonna spend lots of money there. Honestly, it's worth it to me. Spend your dollars. Throw your coins. Get in there. And if you see me, buy me a drink!!

Came here for a quick cocktail and a starter. We got the Guava Spritz and the Aperol Spritz. I throughly enjoyed the guava spritz and the aperol was the perfect ratio of the Prosecco seltzer and Aperol. Some places just don't get it right.

Great food and even better vibes! The customer service is truly 1000/10 -- everyone is so warm and attentive. The food comes out fresh, hot, and full of flavor every single time. The burger is incredible, and the steak Caesar salad is chef's kiss amazing. Highly recommend!

BKB is the best new restaurant to open in Bed-Stuy in years! The food is terrific, the drinks are tasty & there's something for everyone. The ambiance is so thoughtful and welcoming, and the staff is super friendly & just the right amount of attentive. My wife and I quickly became regulars, we love the corner seats at the bar & one of the managers said "your spot is available" one time when we walked in. Well BKB as a whole is our spot! We look forward to many celebrations, commiserations, brunches, games & weekday unwinding sessions there for years to come.

My wife and I had dinner here tonight (Thursday), and it was such a great experience from the start. Before placing our order, we actually spoke with the head chef about the mussels--we were curious about the different sauces listed on the menu. It's not something we usually do (we're not fussy eaters), but the staff was so welcoming and informative, it felt completely natural. We went on to order two drinks, a salad, the Belgian starter, and two entrees. Everything was fresh and flavorful, but the mussels really stood out--exceptional quality, and we learned they'd just arrived that morning. The decor is tasteful and a definite upgrade from the old Mama Fox that used to be here. There's also a cute outdoor seating area that adds to the charm. We'll definitely be back.

This spot just open on Saturday, I'm telling you, this is going to be the hottest spot for the summer trust me, I recommend it to anyone who just want to take someone on a date, or if you and your friends want a chill Friday night or Saturday night hang out, great drinks, the music is always on point,

The price tag matches the experience perfectly. The dishes demonstrate healthy food can be tasty. You won't believe how good the food is. Workers kept our table organized by removing finished plates. My history with this place includes many good meals.

The food, service, atmosphere, and drinks were amazing! They have a decent amount of outdoor space which is perfect for the nice weather. The vibe is cozy and perfect for date night, girls night, family night, any night!

Emmanuel and Ayana are some of the best bartenders you can ask for in NYC. Cocktails are well balanced and cordial, and personality is hard to beat. Personable, attentive and professional. 5 stars all around

Wandered into BKB, a new French brasserie in the former Mama Fox space, and was pleasantly surprised. They had a delightful Sauvignon Blanc--Sancerre-adjacent (without the Sancerre pricing). The short rib sliders with horseradish cream I ordered were fire. I jealously eyed the mussels and shrimp linguine at the table next to me and ordered fries with one of their inspired dipping sauces. Service was on point--attentive without being overbearing. I love the updated long leather banquette and outdoor seating. Can't wait to go back and try more from the menu. Great addition to the neighborhood.

The kitchen here knows how to make dishes that amaze. The place maintained an unpretentious friendliness. Their menu items taste crisp and fresh. The employees displayed remarkable friendliness. Thanks for the outstanding service, friendly workers and tasty food offerings.
