Pilar Cuban Eatery in Bed-Stuy buzzes with energy, serving tempting Cuban sandwiches, hearty dishes, and delightful pastries in a vibrant setting.
"This is your go-to Bed-Stuy spot for Cuban bakery staples. Expect Cuban buttered toast, baked chicken or picadillo empanadas, tamales, cafe con leche, and of course, flaky pastelitos with guava and cheese." - Korsha Wilson, Brianne Garrett, Ryan Sutton
"Finding a good cuban sandwich isn’t always easy in Brooklyn. And that’s probably why the sidewalk tables at this neighborhood spot are usually packed on weekends. Beyond the classic cuban, you’ll find dishes like ropa vieja, picadillo, and a few vegetarian plates that involve okra and sweet fried plantains. Pilar also runs a bakery right next door where you can pick up a cuban milkshake or some flan for the road." - nikko duren
"Delivery and takeout available - call or order through their website." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"Pilar, a Cuban restaurant in Bed-Stuy, closed after 14 years. The decision was announced on social media, citing unsustainable business post-COVID. The bakery next door, opened by the same team in 2019, will remain open." - Luke Fortney
"Pilar Cuban Bakery opened next to Pilar Cuban Eatery." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
