The Four Horsemen

American, Californian · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Reservations are required or be ready to queue at this eternally cool Williamsburg wine bar part-owned by LCD Soundsystem frontman, James Murphy. The Four Horsemen's wine list is eclectic and laser-focused on varietals, and Chef Nick Curtola's succinct and seasonally changing menu rarely misses. Start with the veal sweetbread skewers with soy-cured egg yolk. Or the crisp chickpea crepe, woven with pieces of squash blossoms that lures you in with a layer of glistening lardon. Fried skate wing comes to you deep golden and impossibly crisp, and the Berkshire pork is tender with a hint of cider gl

Aska

Scandinavian, Contemporary · ★★ Michelin

$$$$

Aska remains one of New York’s most distinctive dining experiences. Hidden inside a dark, intimate space in South Williamsburg, Chef Fredrik Berselius draws on his Swedish heritage and the ingredients of the Northeastern United States to create a highly personal tasting menu. The room is centered around an open kitchen, where a small team prepares a procession of dishes rooted in preservation, foraging, smoke and seasonality. Shellfish, wild herbs, berries and carefully sourced seafood appear throughout the meal, reflecting a Nordic sensibility without feeling dogmatic. Highlights often includ

Restaurant Yuu

french, japanese · ★ Michelin

$$$$

At the start of service, the lights dim and servers pull back curtains to reveal the full kitchen team dressed in stark whites and standing at attention. This is just the beginning of a carefully choreographed performance by Chef Yuu Shimano, whose classic French training and Japanese heritage translates to beauty and boldness on the plate. The lengthy menu celebrates top-grade shellfish and proteins that waver between light and indulgent. Think smoked surf clam with celeriac or abalone risotto with nori powder. The signature duck and foie pastry is a treasure from another era, while a pre-des

Francie

Contemporary, Italian · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Set within a striking, limestone-clad building in South Williamsburg, this haven features sleek ash wood and mosaic tile flooring, exposed red brick walls and widely spaced tables. All eyes are on the open kitchen, a true-to-life stage for this team, who can be seen prepping, cooking and putting the finishing touches on a series of refined, brasserie-style plates. Pasta is a must, as in the conchiglie with a luscious clam sauce. Shelled clams, bits of bacon and sesame breadcrumbs complete the delightful preparation. Crown of roast duck arrives in dramatic fashion, presented whole and finished

Shota Omakase

japanese · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Far from the subway stop on a quiet street in Williamsburg, find this welcoming omakase counter hidden away near Domino Park. Chef Cheng Lin sets the tone as a friendly, relaxed guide for the night’s proceedings. And whereas some chefs practically take vows of silence with regards to sourcing and technique, he is quick to share where in Japan the fish is from, why he uses Inochi-no Ichi rice, and what it took to find his special aged soys and vinegars. His intentionality delivers in the form of excellent, seasonal product and a fine-tuned parade of nigiri, for which the rice is refreshed repea

Oxomoco

Mexican, Contemporary · ★ Michelin

$$$

Don’t let the casual ambience fool you: Oxomoco is a serious dining room capable of great things. The room is lively and packed but always conducive to conversation.Tacos are the main draw, especially when piled with the likes of chanterelle mushrooms or the catch of the day. However, this kitchen team doesn’t stick to merely one dish or area of Mexico. Instead, they reach widely across a myriad of regions, always balancing abundance with fresh and vibrant flavors. The menu thereby tempts and tantalizes with such large and small items as the tropical hamachi agua chile and tlayuda crafted from

Bonnie's

cantonese, chinese · Bib

$$$

Located within earshot of the BQE’s rumble in east Williamsburg in a nondescript corner, Bonnie's is an absolute discovery. Inside, the look is retro Hong Kong diner through and through but Chef Calvin Eng plates Cantonese regional cuisine with modern interpretations. Yeung yu sang choi bao is a wonder, stuffed with shrimp, green mustard and lettuces, then crisped and presented whole. The salt and pepper shrimp is tossed with melted red onions and is ideal for sharing. Don't sleep on the classic Hong Kong street food like cheung fun, with tender, seared rice noodles tossed with shrimp and scal

Shalom Japan

japanese, jewish · Bib

This inspired little South Williamsburg spot finds its culinary niche in mixing Japanese and Ashkenazi Jewish fare. Not all the dishes are a fusion of the two styles, but many—like the matzoh ball ramen or the terrific lox bowl stuffed with avocado, Japanese pickles and sushi rice—cleverly straddle both cuisines.Kick things off with perfectly presented toro tartare over house-baked sake kasu challah, spread with scallion cream cheese and topped with “everything” spice; or the unctuous Wagyu pastrami sandwich made with house-made caraway shokupan (milk bread) and mustard. For dessert, the choco
