Clinton Hill Restaurants

Diners visiting Abistro on DeKalb want to make this trip a special occasion. The menu is top notch, top price, and unerring. With main dishes like Abistro Mussels and Poulet Frite Sénégalaise, the only difficulty you’ll have will be the pronunciation when ordering these dishes. The food is accessible, yet mysterious at the same time. The most popular dish, the Agneau Braisé (braised lamb), is so tender the meat can be cut with a napkin. A gently spiced glaze offsets its savory peanut flavor. Though Abistro on DeKalb might be a ‘special occasions only’-kind of haunt, it demands at least one visit from all food enthusiasts.
The 3 Luigis is a family-accessible, memorable turn of Italian dining. The menu is packed with options, and at the center of this restaurant’s success, there is a simmering red sauce. The red sauce, a finely combined tomato heaven, does the heavy lifting, helping the chef to keep a devoted following, and the menu prices assure that growth is imminent. At lunchtime The 3 Luigis serves a host of subs; the Cheesesteak sub is their most popular entrée. At this restaurant, no one leaves hungry, and everyone gladly returns (in a few days, after they have recovered from the food coma).
When diners want something in-between—something better than bottom dollar but cheaper than top-tier—Urban Vintage is the best answer. Many devoted diners shamelessly promote it as being the best of Brooklyn. After trying the goat cheese sandwich on ciabatta bread, few people argue the brilliance of the ingredients or combinations thereof, and you absolutely cannot leave without trying the desserts, the restaurant’s specialty. It might take a long while to run the whole gamut of Clinton Hill restaurants, but the best offerings can be sorted out in three delightful meals and visited again and again.
