Rank 10. Forsythia
French
Chef Christopher Kearse's modern French bistro celebrates classic technique with tempura frog legs, escargot in Pernod-almond butter, and dry-aged duck in an intimate dining room overlooking the open kitchen. Tile floors and globe lights create an unhurried backdrop for precise, unfussy cooking.

Rank 26. LORE
American-infused Indian
A corner storefront in Park Slope where chef Jay Kumar fuses Indian spice with American ingredients in dishes like roasted squash over babaghanoush and duck confit with tamarind sauce. The warm service and poetic cocktail list elevate what might feel like a neighborhood spot into something more deliberately refined.

Rank 28. Hungry Thirsty
Southern Thai
A bright yellow storefront on Smith Street opens onto orange walls and a blue-and-green bar where Chef Prasert "Tee" Kanghae's southern Thai cooking draws steady crowds. The fried branzino arrives gleaming with its dipping sauce; the soy-marinated eggs demand repetition. This is cooking pitched at volume—spiced, confident, unapologetic about its pleasures.
