My evening at Recette was truly exceptional — a perfect blend of cozy Brooklyn charm and lively bistro energy in the heart of Williamsburg. The atmosphere feels warm and inviting, with great music setting a vibrant yet comfortable backdrop and a bar pouring fantastic, well-crafted cocktails that kick off the night beautifully.
The highlight of the meal for me was the branzino — fresh, beautifully seasoned, and a standout dish that paired wonderfully with the relaxed yet sophisticated vibe of the space.
In short: great drinks, delicious food, delightful music, and a cozy neighborhood spot that makes every visit memorable.

Went here with a group of 10 for NYE and we had a fantastic experience. The food and drinks were great, the interior was pretty and warm, and the staff was absolutely fantastic. The were very attentive, kind, and so accommodating. At the even of the meal, our server handed us a round of delicious grapefruit shots and took care in making non-alc versions for the people in our party who weren’t drinking, which was so fun and generous of them. Highly rec for a large group (~$50 pp without drinks, ~$75 pp with drinks). Thank you so much for a lovely time Recette!

Food was great, atmosphere was amazing, and service was perfect. Came on a random Wednesday night for dinner with my girlfriend and was ecstatic to see a live band playing. Made the mood and environment so much better.
The food came quickly and was all delicious. Our server Ana was even better. She always came and refilled our water at the perfect time. She constantly gave us clean plates and clean utensils. She had the perfect energy and the perfect attitude.
I’ve only been here a few times, but I would come back solely on Wednesdays to hear the live band for the 10/10 service by Ana.

I just popped in here for a glass of wine before I had to head back to Manhattan. They had a great orange wine. The bartender let me try it before ordering. Its a very cute copy French bistro. I did want to try a few more of their wines but I didnt have time (also didnt want to get tipsy). Stop by if youre in the area! Did not try the food or really look at the food menu

They have a nice happy hour till 6pm so make sure to catch it. The food and drinks were all decent, nothing spectacular but good and homey. The chicken was alright; I’d recommend the cavatelli more. One thing to note is that contrary to some reviews I’ve seen, they don’t do anything for birthdays — in case anyone comes expecting something based on those reviews and gets disappointed like we were.

LOOOOVVVEEE Recette- this really is a gem of a spot in Williamsburg. They have some of the best espresso martinis and cocktails I’ve tried, on a lot of nights they’ll have live jazz playing in the background
Try their duck, their short rib pasta, their brunch menu is really good too. Pomme pureé is to die for. Plenty of good options to try
Their staff is super friendly and personable, in particular love the host/waitress (Ana & Andjela) and the bartenders (Max and Igor). So hilarious!

All around wonderful restaurant, they also have a great happy hour with good priced cocktails and tasty beef tartar and kale salad.
The French onion soup was some of the best I have had in NYC, combined with sitting outside on a summer or fall evening it was just all around a perfect feeling.
The steak was extremely tender and the sauce was so good, they should consider serving extra sauce to dip your fries in it. The pasta was creamy and filling without being too heavy, the short rib in it was robust with flavor as well. Only thing could have been improved was a little more salt on the fries and fried mushroom, otherwise almost everything was perfect.
Service here was extremely accommodating and everyone was very nice.

A very special thank you to our waiter, Zdravko. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. His warm attitude and great service made our evening even more enjoyable. It’s rare to meet someone who truly makes guests feel so comfortable and well taken care of.
We’re very grateful for such a wonderful dinner and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
