Le Garage

My go to French spot in the hood.

I never give reviews, but this place is criminally underrated. Only speaking on the food, as I only tasted the house wine so I don’t think that’d be a fair judgement. Our dinner was delicious. My boyfriend got the all-you-can-eat mussels, and they were SO good. And you can’t beat the price (if you’ve got a big enough appetite to indulge in at least two portions). We’re also pretty harsh critics of French fries, and their’s were great. Nothing to write home about, but exactly what you’d want when ordering fries at dinner. The broth the mussels are in is honestly chuggable on its own, but compliment the mussels so so well. I got the fish of the day (can’t remember what fish it was), but it was DELICIOUS. The full plate of flavors are honestly magical. So light but so satisfying. I think about it often. Service could have been a bit more engaged/pleasant, but everyone has off days and it’s not enough to knock it down a star. Go here. It’s vastly better than the other French spot nearby.

One of the coziest nooks in Brooklyn during the winter, and most refreshing patios during the summer. The menu changes just often enough to keep you interested, and the waitstaff treats everyone like family. 10/10 recommend any time they are open, and you are in Bushwick!

Great, unpretentious French food in a relaxed setting. Really good cocktails.

Great food, great cocktails, and the owners couldn't possibly be any nicer. A true neighborhood spot. Bonus points for being woman and family owned.

Solid French spot tucked away in Bushwick! Went for Brunch, so can’t speak for their dinner- but was better than I expected! Got the chorizo eggs dish, which was like a Benedict with slices of chorizo on top of potato latkes, with perfectly poached eggs on top. It tasted good, but I don’t think it has to be $20. Same for the chickpea fries-very good-tad salty-but shouldn’t be $9. So that’s why Le Garage gets 4 stars- solid food but nothing crazy amazing and pricey.
