For brunch this weekend, hop on your bike and head to Home/Made in Red Hook. With long wooden tables, benches topped with pastel colored pillows, potted plants abound, and just-picked-fresh food, dining in the back garden feels like a picnic at a country cottage.
While their To-Go burger joint may be slightly more famous, the original DuMont is the place to go for a brunch when you have more than food on your agenda.
Outdoor seating on the quiet Henry street in Brooklyn Heights at Siggy’s Good Food is ideal, and the organic menu makes brunching here a pleasure; you won’t leave feeling too stuffed or dissatisfied.
Robin des Bois in Carroll Gardens is not for the dainty SATC crowd, which is what makes this rustic French brasserie the prime brunch spot. The eatery’s backyard takes you away from Brooklyn’s busy streets to a cozy wooded garden, perfect for enjoying a croque-monsieur.
For the rest of the summer, ditch your normal brunch spot and try a place where you can enjoy your mimosa under the sun. This week, head to North Brooklyn for some good eats and amusing hipster-watching at Five Leaves.
