Chez Ma Tante

Best Brunches in New York, from Bistros to Dim Sum | Condé Nast Traveler

"Behind an unassuming corner storefront on the border of Williamsburg and Greenpoint, Chez Ma Tante is sleek and stark, with glossy, dark-washed wood floors, white walls, and minimal decor, aside from a few flowering branches in vases. The menu is supposedly Canadian-inspired, but it's also filled with influences from all over Europe, Britain, and the Middle East. The famous pancakes, with a crunchy, golden-brown crust and a leavened, pillowy interior, really do live up to the hype, so definitely order some for the table. Highlights of the savory fare are a brothy stracciatella soup with corn and basil, little falafel balls with creamy cores, and kedgeree with poached cod." - Andrea Whittle
