Cafe Colette

Tucked just off of Bedford Avenue, the bustling main artery of Williamsburg, Cafe Colette is a charming, informal spot offering New American dishes with Spanish, Italian and Central American influences. Diner-style booths are lined across from a tiled bar with matching worn, wooden walls and orb-like light fixtures, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Weather permitting, the sidewalk tables are the ideal spot to enjoy a glass of rosé while taking advantage of a particular Brooklyn allure: people-watching. You’ll find all types here, from glamorous models to upscale European visitors and, of course, the hipster set. The back of the restaurant boasts a greenhouse garden, which is open on weekends (and can be booked privately). Simple favorites include the roasted brussels sprouts and garlic herb french fries with a red chili oil kick.
