My fiance and I had brunch at Five Leaves while staying with a friend in Brooklyn (per her recommendation). The meal was delicious and worth the slight wait (we were there on a weekday, not sure what the wait is like on a weekend but I imagine it's probably a bit longer at the very least). Two points of interest... More

I almost decided not to write this review and keep this little gem as much a secret as possible. We sat at the counter and were served by an über cool and very friendly bartender. Being optimistic and in the dark about the size of the portions, we ordered ricotta pancakes, granola with yoghurt and a brûléed grapefruit for the... More

A friend took me for a casual dinner at Five Leaves, simple, not particularly aspirational location, but the queues must be there for a reason we thought. So in typical tourist tradition we waited, but were seated pretty quickly in the outside pavement terrace. We ordered the Five Leaves Burger and after 15 minutes or so we got it. Thick... More

This restaurant was worth the trip to Brooklyn from Manhattan. I had the scrambled eggs with chickpeas and moroccan sausage over a crunchy sour dough slice of bread. My husband had the pancakes with fresh fruit. This was the second time visiting this restaurant and I would definitely go again. I loved the vintage vibe with the vinyl turntable playing... More

We got there on a chilly Saturday (very late) morning and had to wait maybe 20 minutes. But it was worth it. I chickened out and did not have the Bloody Mary (too early for me) or any other cocktail (the bison vodka one sounded very enticing) settling lamely for hot tea. Not so my companions. In any case, the... More

This place rocks! The food is super, you get it fast and the prices are good. I ate a veggie burger and had their delicious truffel fries with it. Both awesome! The service was very nice and fast even though the place was packed. The restaurant is on a nice area and the atmosphere of the place cool and relaxed.... More

This is my favorite restaurant near Williamsburg. Be warned you have to go early, as it fills up very quickly. The food is great. I highly recommend the Morrocan Scramble for brunch. Or the Bircher Muesli.
