Best New Restaurants in Brooklyn, July 2025: According to Eater Editors | Eater NY

"If you’re looking for the kind of cafe where you can have a casual full breakfast or lunch and linger for a while with a laptop, Patio Tropical should be on your radar. Tucked behind an artisan shop called This Is Latin America, it is a heated atrium that streams with natural light, evoking a little tropical oasis. Here, Stephanie Bonnin explores her South American background — she’s from Barranquilla, Colombia — as well as wider Caribbean influences. Pastries like pan de bono, a Colombian cheese bread, alongside dishes like the beef sancocho, are all made in-house. The menu plans to change frequently, with occasional pop-up dinners by rotating chefs at night." - Emma Orlow

A must try, you won’t regret it. A taste of home (Colombian food) with a changing menu. The pandebono (cheese bread) is the best I’ve ever had. We had almost the whole menu: arepa, pastel de arroz, enyucado and I want to try the sancocho that everyone js raving about. The plating is beautiful and the taste is so memorable with details and touches that will have you coming back for more. The house mocktails were so surprising and full bodied, I’d come back just for those. Venture to try anything, I bet you’ll love it all. Say hi to the folks in the kitchen while you’re at it, everyone is super friendly, and don’t forget to thank the chef!

As a Colombian, I’m always a little hesitant when going to non-traditional Colombian restaurants, as I’m always worried they won’t stay true to our cuisine. This place, however, blew my mind! They don’t only stay true to our flavors but they elevate them using a mix and match of different elements of traditional Colombian cuisine in ways that make already great dishes be even better. The vibe and service are also on point. It felt like home, particularly when I saw the upside down San Antonio.

What an amazing place!!! From the very entrance you know you’ll find something special. The atmosphere, the people, the music, AND THE FOOD… is not only gorgeous, but an explosion of tropical flavors with a South Asian touch. We had: SAINT-COCHO 🥣, not-your-typical SHRIMP COCKTAIL🍤, HAMACHI 🐠 😍, PASTELÓN🫔, DON ALIRIO🍹🤩

I mean if you want to be transported to heaven for a few hours so you can see how the after-life will be, look no further than this backyard haven. I think the pictures speak for themselves.

Best new addition to the Williamsburg food scene - come for the food, enjoy the vibe and the warmth, and repeat, repeat, repeat! Great service, outstanding dishes, amazing ambiance. My recos: Saint-Cocho (the best soup I have ever had, don’t tell my mom…) Pastelón Pan de Bono with Guava Empanada Cartagenera

I had been wanting to try Patio Tropical since it opened…. Went today and it did not disappoint! You can tell that the staff and owner have put so much love and passion into everything - the food, the decorations, the music and vibe - this is a restaurant with a lot of soul. We ordered the empanada, the pan de bono, the salad, the sancocho soup, the arroz empastelado and the enyucado. The cafe campesino beverage served in a beautiful handmade clay mug was very aromatic and hit the spot. I posted pics of the salad and the sancocho. Everything was amazing… but these two particular dishes… wow… The rib in the sancocho soup was fall-off-the-bone tender. The broth was lighter than a traditional sancocho soup - in a good way. The salad’s dressing was absolutely delicious and the avocado seemed to be slightly burned in a way that gave it a very subtle smokey taste that I have never tasted in an avocado before and loved it! Everything was reasonably priced and the staff was sooooo friendly! :) Strongly STRONGLY recommend this place!!!

A hidden tropical gem full of soul! Home-style Latin food made with love, vibrant flavors, and a secret garden that feels like pure magic. Flowers, colors, and the rhythm of Latin music fill the air all day long. A place where every bite and every beat make you feel alive. Simply unforgettable!
