Risbo is a vibrant cafe in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens known for its playful fusion dishes, standout rotisserie meats, and an inviting outdoor patio that sets a relaxed vibe for meals with friends or solo adventures.
"Risbo’s backyard is spacious enough to host a tasteful wedding. And if you live near Flatbush, it’s a good place to know about. Starting at 5pm every day, this casual counter-service restaurant and bar serves a menu of Mediterranean-Caribbean mashup dishes that pair well with rum cocktails and bissap juice. You could easily pass by this spot on Flatbush Avenue and not even compute the idyllic patio covered in floor cushions, string lights, and colorful pouf. Let’s change that." - hannah albertine
"A "Parisian rotisserie with a Brooklyn vibe" seems a perfectly apposite way to describe this affable escape from Chef/owner Boris Ginet. Donning whitewashed walls lined with artistic photos, industrial-chic cement floors and a glorious garden patio, the anchor here is—of course—the open-air rotisserie, churning out a host of delectably roasted items.This menu highlights everything from bowls and platters to seasonal soups, vegetables and grains. Roasted leg of lamb, marinated in herbs and spices for over two days, is the definition of tender, savory deliciousness, especially when coupled with their house-made sauces like aioli and yogurt. The Risbo platter is a house special, underscoring the likes of well-seasoned roasted pork served with hummus, a spicy cabbage salad and plantains." - Michelin Inspector

"Risbo is a counter-service spot with a full bar and a big backyard filled with plants and cushions. It feels like the kind of place you'd stumble across in a more-walkable section of LA, and it’s open all day, serving platters that come with your choice of protein (chicken, lamb, duck, etc.) as well as sides like hummus, plantains, and rice pilaf. Stop by when you want to eat a big tray of food while wearing whatever you just worked out in, and grab a cocktail if you feel like making a night of it." - Bryan Kim
