It was a lovely Valentine’s Day dinner at Bricolage, we didn’t have a reservation an were accommodated with a table by the door, behind a golden velvet curtain that brought the warmth of the sun onto this lovely immersive art installion of a dining room.

We started our meal with the fresh summer roll with peanut sauce and the warm delectable Tamarind BBQ Ribs the sauce was so tasty my sister said it would be good on anything. The pickled vegtable garnish enhanced the succulent pork offering. Next up was a generous bowl of Spicy Garlic Noodles with pork which was seasoned to perfection. We finished our meal with two desserts that had us closing our eyes with a Snoopy smile on our faces. The Bourbon Infused Choclate Cake (gf) and the Carmelized Brioche. This was our second visit to Bricolage and we will definately be back. We set a goal of trying everything on the menu. Bricolage is well worth the trip to Park Slope.

I have been here for special occasions and had a great time. This time, however, was really off.

We started by ordering the crab dumpling special, which was a miss. The wonton wrapper was thick and chewy (not in a satisfying way), and the crab filling looked and tasted like tuna salad and even had tiny bits of carrot and celery in it, like tuna salad. If it was indeed crab, it was very low quality.

We were seated at one side of a communal table in the (chilly) covered patio, and while we were eating, a host started spraying the other side of the table with a large bottle of industrial cleaner, and set the spray bottle right next to us. It smelled awful and he completely ignored us. It’d be fine if we were eating at a cheap restaurant, but for a restaurant that considers itself upscale, it made for an unpleasant experience.

Last bit—the patio has a doorway to a basement with cooks coming up with large translucent plastic bins of already-prepared food. It was unappetizing to see a giant bin of precooked chicken get rushed up the stairs past patrons.

Anyway, I used to love this place and have recommended it many many times over the years to out-of-towners or friends looking to dine in Park Slope, but now will think twice about coming back.

EDIT: after receiving the comment below from the restaurant, I emailed several times and never heard back.

I recently celebrated my 30th birthday here, and it could not have been more perfect. Miro was super accommodating with catering to my needs and Tyler, who a been at the restaurant for years and the brains to the cocktail menu, were so great to work with. the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed and taken care of, creating such a warm and celebratory atmosphere, the back patio, everyone was raving about, and the food was absolutely outstanding — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The testy catered to all dietary restrictions. Truly my guests couldn’t stop raving about how much they loved everything, which made the evening feel even more special.

Thank you to the team for helping make such an important milestone truly memorable. I’ll be recommending this spot to anyone looking for amazing food and a place to celebrate something special!

I’ve been coming here since 2022. It is a very unique place in its atmosphere and twist on the Vietnamese cuisine. They have consistently been welcoming from the host to the servers. The food has consistently been great.

The atmosphere is unique with options to eat inside or outside; GO OUTSIDE! The decor has an old skool vibe with such a laid back ambience.

I love all the foods here. Try it all to see what you like. I love the slow cooked lamb rolls and the caramelized shrimp pot. The ingredients are always fresh and flavorful.

I highly recommend this place; you won’t be disappointed! Make a reservation!!!!

As you can probably tell by the photos, the food slapped! It was so nice on the patio for the big party we had. The fried chicken wings were top tier and hot and fresh. The salmon was flaky and moist as well. Added it to my google maps list.

Wow. Just wow. Words won’t do it justice, yet I must try. The vibes? Perfect. The food? Delish. The atmosphere? Electric. Would recommend to anyone who will listen. And as someone with a lot of allergies they were very accommodating and quickly helped me identify which dishes I could eat. Can’t wait to go back!

First the server took us to the semi open section behind the restaurant but sadly there were a few flies otherwise we would have loved to have our food there. We then moved inside. The whole place is decorated in a somewhat unique style. Almost everything is an art creation which is why no two decorations are similar including the chandeliers. The side plates on the table are also different with all four on a table having different designs and sometimes even different sizes.

We ordered one duck sandwich, two egg preparations and one French toast dish cooked in coconut milk. All four of us shared everything except one person who doesn’t have meat. We all enjoyed all the 4 dishes. It was a somewhat different symphony of tastes. Something different from whatever I have had in the past. I cannot say it was similar to the best I have had earlier but it was as great as anything I have had earlier but different.

Maybe if I have brunch again in another Vietnamese restaurant I will be able to compare but for now I will end by saying that I enjoyed everything and wouldn’t mind visiting again maybe to try out their regular lunch selection.

Bricolage – Vietnamese French Fusion in Park Slope

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Bricolage delivers a vibrant blend of Vietnamese-French flavors in a space that feels artistic, relaxed, and true to its name—bohemian and playfully eclectic. While the food is often exceptional and the atmosphere inviting, inconsistent service and lapses in cleanliness detracted from an otherwise memorable evening.

Service:
Carly, our server, was a true professional—knowledgeable, warm, and intuitive with her recommendations. She guided us through the menu with ease and made us feel genuinely cared for. Unfortunately, the rest of the service team was far less attentive. Two other servers (one male, one female) rushed to clear our table while we were still waiting for dessert. One of them removed plates but left used silverware directly on the table. Adding to the disappointment: the restaurant overlooked the birthday noted in our reservation, which felt careless and impersonal.

Food:
When Bricolage gets it right—and it often does—the flavors are bold, layered, and beautifully executed.
• Crispy Imperial Rolls (Chả Giò): A standout. Stuffed with pork, shrimp, glass noodles, and wood ear mushrooms, these rolls came out piping hot with a golden, shatteringly crisp exterior. Wrapped in fresh lettuce and herbs (basil, mint) and dipped in a spicy fish sauce that I could’ve happily drunk straight from the bowl.
• Tamarind BBQ Ribs: Served with pickled red onions and Thai basil olive oil. Cooked perfectly, tender and juicy, but oddly under-seasoned—they desperately needed salt to come alive.
• Coconut Green Curry Lamb Shank: Braised to fall-off-the-bone tenderness, served with sautéed Chinese broccoli, crispy shallots, peanuts, and jasmine rice. The curry was rich, earthy, and deeply comforting. Unfortunately, the rice was dry and stale—clearly made the day before and a noticeable miss.
• Special of the Day – Szechuan-Spiced Boneless Half Duck: Easily one of the best duck dishes I’ve had in NYC. Perfectly pink, deboned, and served with a smooth taro mash, grilled endive, and a pineapple-ginger-garlic confit sauce that brought sweet heat and umami depth. Masterfully composed.
• Five-Spice Mango Cheesecake: The cheesecake itself was lush, delicately spiced, and had a beautiful texture. The topping, however—a slice of hard, unripe mango—clashed with the rest. The ginger-blueberry sauce was applied so sparingly it was almost symbolic. A mango mousse and more of that sauce could turn this into something unforgettable.

Cleanliness:
This was where things took a hit. When we sat down, one of the sharing plates already on the table had caked-on food residue—something that should never be missed in a properly set table. Combined with the stale rice, it suggested a lapse in both front-of-house and kitchen standards.

Ambience:
The space is inviting, unpretentious, and artsy—a casual, bohemian mix of textures, plants, and thoughtful design details. It feels lived-in and expressive in the best way. The sound level was perfect: lively but never overwhelming, encouraging conversation and ease.

Ratings Breakdown:
• Food: 4/5
• Ambience: 5/5
• Cleanliness: 2/5
• Service (Carly): 5/5
• Service (other staff): 1/5

Conclusion:
Despite missteps in cleanliness and some unpolished service, Bricolage is worth a return visit. The food, especially the duck, rolls, and curry, shows serious skill, and the creative, soulful vibe of the place is hard to resist. With a bit more consistency and attention to detail, it could become one of our favorite destinations in Park Slope.

I was in the mood to try something different and wandered into Bricolage. While browsing the menu, Marc—the friendly bartender—helped me decide on the Szechuan-crusted cobia fish filet. It was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and beautifully balanced with just the right amount of spice. To pair, I ordered a Maple Old Fashioned, which was smooth, refreshing, and complemented the meal perfectly.

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service made me feel right at home. If you’re looking for a unique dining experience with thoughtful dishes and great drinks, Bricolage is definitely worth a visit right there in parkslope
