ventured out to try this restaurant out! friend really craved for their chocolate cake so we decided to go :-). ordered tuna toast, duck fat fried potatoes, scallop crudo, ricotta gnudi, and their famous chocolate cake. my personal fav dish is the tuna toast, super light and flavorful. the potatoes and ricotta were a bit too salty for my liking, the scallops were delicious but the portion was on the smaller end. service was amazing! ambience was very nice especially on a warm, sunny day. a great date spot or just a nice dinner with friends :). all the dishes were shareable as well!

Things were over salted especially salted anchovies on an overly salted steak. The steak was sinewy and felt like eating leather. The yellow cake was bland and seemed like a lazy attempt at a dessert.

My girlfriend and I were excited to try this restaurant as it came recommended from a friend and highly rated on Google but unfortunately we were underwhelmed by the food. The tuna toast, duck fat potatoes, and little salad were all WAY too salty. A tell tale sign of this is was that we went through three canteens of water. The scallop crudo was good but not appropriately portioned for the price. The ambiance at bar bete is great and service is good but the food was a let down.

A restaurant that has been on my list for too long! Tried their winter menu and it was so good! The ricotta gnodi has the most fresh red crab. The tuna toast was so flavorful. The yellow cake is so simple yet so delicious. A good restaurant can really turn simplicity into perfection. Bar Bête really did it! The service and ambience were outstanding too! The only thing is (not the restaurant’s fault at all) I wish the party of bros were not there yelling. I think they might have some misunderstanding about the restaurant’s name. It’s not a bar. It’s a perfect spot for date nights and friends gatherings but respect other guests’ experiences first.

This is a neighborhood gem. I’ve never had a bad dish here, but the duck fat potatoes and leek salad are can’t-miss items. They have successfully struck a balance between refined yet casual/approachable. We love it equally as a weeknight date spot and a nice Saturday night out. Great ambiance, plus a very friendly staff and owner. In a city full of unlimited restaurant options, Bar Bête is actually worth multiple visits.
Loved the food, this is one of the best places I've been to in Brooklyn. Every dish was superb! The omelette was amazing, the Gnudi was astonishing, and the ham and cheese was delicious.Kudos!

Adorable restaurant - stunning architecture and design. The food was excellent - see photos. The only thing I would have changed is the amount of crispy shallots on the salad - there should have been about half the amount and that would still be plenty! We also enjoyed a beautiful bottle of Burgundy. Great wine list. Follow me on insta: @foodiesonamission for more restaurant inspiration.

We got the wagu steak, $85! didn’t ask how we want it cooked, came out over cooked and chewy… for 85 bucks terrible, duck fat potatoes were okay but they give you a gallon on mayo with it, fat with fat, needed salt and something else. Tuna toast great super yummy. The gnudi was amazing but honestly the steak just blows my mind. They messed it up so bad.

A fine dining experience in Brooklyn that lives up to the hype. Akin to Estela with bigger portions and louder music. I-could-eat-every-day standouts were the Little Salad, Tuna Toast and Ricotta Gnudi. And save room for the yellow cake (or get it to go.)They have their act together. Can't wait to return.
