their brunch is the best ever...steak and eggs were cooked exactly as ordered, and the french toast melts in your mouth w/ the perfect amount of sweetness and crisp...
we also went there for dinner once, and both entrees were superb...the duck confit was so good i wanted a second plate...
i have ordered delivery from them twice, a chicken sandwich and a burger...both were ok... -

Horrible waitress, food was ok. Wine arrives & is dumped at your table as a filled glass with no option to taste. Escargot not the best, and for some odd reason it's served so hot that you'll wait for a long time to eat it. Waitress messed up & blamed the kitchen: "The kitchen messed up, so they have to prepare your meal all over again Do you want us to bring one plate now?" UH, NO.
You're going to spend over $100.00 for every 2 people & you're going to be treated as if you sat down at a truck stop diner. That's not worth it. What a shame. It's really nice inside & would have been a great date night if not for the horrible service. -

The food was pretty good. Nothing that I've never had before or anything I'd go back for. Friend and I shared the pate (one of the nights specials) and a burger. For how nice/intimate the place is you would expect better food. GRANTED, the prices were not bad (both entrees without anything else was just under 40) Biggest complaint was that the starter bread and burger bread was cold and tough. Flavor was okay, pate much better than the burger. The fries with the burger were stellar though.
FYI: take this with a grain of salt as we sat down at almost 10pm. I'm quite aware that things are not most fresh by that point. Wouldn't go back on my own accord but will go back with someone if they wanted, hopefully for brunch which i see some reviews on. -

This restaurant came highly recommended by multiple friends, but we had the worst experience here! We went early for brunch on a Saturday morning in January. We ordered VERY simple foods of granola and two orders of eggs and toast. After placing our order, we waited 60 minutes for the granola with yogurt to come (even this took three pleads to our waitress that we had been waiting a long time and needed some food). An hour and forty-five minutes after ordering, we still hadn't received our eggs and toast. We asked our waitress after a while to please deliver our toast because we were starving at that point, but after 30 minutes, decided to give up. We left very unhappy customers and never even got to try the food.
I'm willing to put up with some bad service and long wait times for great food, but 2 hours for eggs and toast is really beyond reasonability! -

Hate to admit this but I am Manhattan snob and find any excuse to stay in the city and avoid the commute to Brooklyn. However, I dined at Le Barricou this past Saturday night and I will willingly drag my ass from UES and hop on the L train just to get my Le Barricou fix.
The food is amazing and they don't skimp on portions either. (I had two escargots in each ramekin hole when usually people just plop in one and smother it with butter and garlic sauce).
I got the special which was a whole chicken roasted in a citrus glaze, served on top of wild mushrooms and greens. It's the most moist chicken I've had in awhile. Cooked to perfection. Cannot rave enough about it.
Get the escargots. As I mentioned above, they give you the double amount you usually get at other restaurants serving these lovely little morsels. One of my friends has never had escargots and she was hesitant in trying it. Once she did, though, I had to fight her off my plate just so I could salvage some for myself!
If you're not a heavy drinker (like me) but want to try a cocktail, order the Chantelaine! It's gin + white wine + elderflower liquer + pomegranate juice served with a spring of rosemary in the glass. It was so good! If I didn't get Asian glow, I would've ordered a second glass.
The atmosphere and the service is very nice. The people there are super friendly and give you so many helpful recommendations. It's definitely one of the best restaurants I've been to in New York!Listed in: Plates of Awesome

Le Barricou is awesome.
I visited with two other folks for brunch on President's Day. The decor and service were good, but the food blew everything away. I ordered the duck confit hash, which was absolutely loaded with duck and caramelized onions. I was sad when I was done. Another friend also ordered a lamb sausage dish, and the sausage was loaded with flavor.
As for drinks, my bloody mary was tasty; not too strong, extra spicy, and served with loads of veggies in a mason jar.
I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. -

I like a small menu. Nice atmosphere too. This is excellent for a group or dining for two. This is bistro without the fuss. I've even gone with a picky eater and they loved it. Go on a week day so you won't wait around forever.

My friend came back from Penn State and decided to go eat brunch with her, so i chose this place and it was definitely the right pick! Live about 30 minutes drive away from this place, it was definitely worth the drive and the wait. My girlfriend had the Egg Benedict and it was delicious, the Yukon potatoes was absolutely great! My friend had some Omelette and she said she enjoyed it very much.
The Duck Confict Hash i ordered was very delishhhh as well, although it was a little bit greasy and oily for me but hey, the greasier the food, the better it taste ;)
Oh, did i mention the grapefruit that was covered in dry rubs like rosemary and ect, o man whoever thought of this idea on the grapefruit is a genius! The mixure of grapefruit and the herbs went perfectly well together! If you're planning to come here ! You should give this a try!! Will definitely come back here whenever i get a chance! +++! -

Le Barricou is adorable and one of my favorite places to bring visitors for a nice, delicious meal. I usually get the mussels and frites, no ketchup needed! Just dip those yummy suckers in the mussel sauce, UGH SO GOOD. I went there for brunch for the first time this weekend and was surprised to see it much busier then any dinner I've had there. GET THE APPLE OMELETTE. The waitstaff is always friendly, I love the decor, and the drinks are awesome (although the bartender is almost TOO good, and he definitely knows it)

This place is fine I guess. I went for brunch, and the food was good, but not exceptional. My eggs benedict with bacon was pretty tasty, but way way way overpriced for what it was. Fresh squeezed orange juice really hit the spot though.

was quite the wait for brunch at this spot on the grand street stretch. it's nice they have a back waiting room area. yes, go through the narrow front half of the restaurant and there is a haven in the back complete with fireplace and couches.
i had the duck confit hash, which i knew i would order after see the menu days before. i have to say i was a little disappointed. the duck was a bit drier that i was expecting. i did share the pancakes with my fellow diners and they were uber fluffy and i would go back for them. the rest was ok, but not nothing i have to run back for.

An amazing little spot! This was my first meal of 2012, and if it was any indication of the year in food to come, I will be totally satisfied.
There was a bit of a wait, but we just walked around the block (see if you can find Steve from Blue's Clues' house...hint: it's blue.) and came back and our table was ready. The hostess was very good about making sure she knew who everyone waiting was and letting us know how long it would be.
I ordered the spinach and goat cheese croissant, which also comes with 2 sunnyside eggs and a little salad. It was unbelievably amazing. So simple, so delicious. Everything got dipped into the egg yolk, of course, and everything was GONE from the plate in less than 10 minutes. Usually during brunch or any meal out with friends, it takes me forever to finish because I'm too busy gabbing away. Not so this time, I let my friends talk and focused on the unbelievably buttery, garlicky, tangy, creamy plate in front of me.
Definitely recommend this place. Take a walk. Take a bus. Take a train. Take a plane! Also, try the absinthe drip and let me know how it is.Listed in: NYCeats

This was a great Sunday brunch option. My friend and I arrived at 12 and were seated within 10 minutes. There is even a comfy space in the back with couches to wait for a table, which is a rarity in Brooklyn spots.
The coffee was great, with refills, and they started brunch off with a complimentary croissant and pan au chocalat, both of which were delicious. For brunch, I got the ham and gruyere croissant, which came with greens and sunnyside eggs. Everything was very good, but I wish there had been some kind of dressing or seasoning on the greens.
I found the place to be cozy, not too tightly packed, and the service was prompt and just friendly enough. I would highly recommend! -

I went here for brunch on Sunday and was not disappointed! I ordered the Apple Omelette without the gruyere. Oh my god. It was amazing... just the right combination of sweet and savory. Normally I love cheese, but I think the omelette was perfect without it.
I also tried bites of the duck confit hash and the steak & eggs. They were also delicious, but I think the apple omelette was the best.
The ONLY thing I wasn't crazy about was the merguez. I ordered a side of it as per the suggestion of others, but was severely underwhelmed. It was too greasy for my taste - the others at my table agreed.
I'll be coming back here again... I've got my eye on those pancakes.. -

Brunch Review. 4.5 stars.
Decided to cross over the bridge before the holidays for some brunch with girlfriends. Glad we decided to make the trip out. Places like this are so scarce in the city yet there seems to be a surplus in Williamsburg. Loved the ambiance and food. Everything's wooden so it's very homey and comfortable. The very back section also has a fireplace and couch. The front had very warm lighting and even though it was only 11 AM in the morning when I walked in the lighting made it feel like it was early evening (which I liked).
What we got:
Omelette Auvergnate- I shared this with my friend and wasn't sure how the potatoes would taste with it but it was good! The potatoes still had a nice texture, not too mushy and not too crispy.
Pancakes- These were ginormous. You're basically getting two giant cakes that are about an inch thick and fill up almost the entire plate. They're not super dense and just the right amount of fluffiness, and they put strawberry butter on top with fruit. You must get this, but guarantee you probably won't be able to finish.
Bloody Mary- I'm actually not the biggest bloody mary fan as they're still growing on me, but my dining companions were so we decided to just order one try and share since we were all recovering from the week's shennanigans. I honestly don't know what constitutes a good bloody mary yet but apparently the bloody mary was pretty good. Plus, they came in mason jars!
Service was very good. Our waiter was very attentive, but by the end they were a bit too attentive. We just wanted to sit and chat for a bit and we got asked about clearing our plates literally every 5 min. Eventually we got the hint and decided we should clear out. I understand it's a busy time, but sometimes it would be nice if restaurants would just let you be and sit for a bit. You are after all paying for the experience. Often times it's like you're cattle being herded in and out as quickly as possible. Anyway I'd only dock half a star for this. They also give you croissants and choc croissants as part of the bread basket! yum!

I have only been here for brunch, but I really like it. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the food is delicious, and the prices are good.
The service is a little spotty, but now that I've spent some time in Brooklyn I realize that this is just an unfortunate truth about most places. If you want more coffee, you will probably have to flag someone down.
I highly recommend the croissant sandwiches and home fries, and I love that the brunch dishes come with a green salad. Omelets are great, and a friend's duck hash was really tasty.
Can be pretty busy for brunch, but last time our party of three didn't have to wait at all and there were more empty tables in the back. Definitely worth checking out. -

My friend and I had a great time here.
We had to wait 30 minutes to get a table but once we did, it was a very pleasant experience. We got a seat near the fireplace and the ambiance was really cozy. The serving size was really large and we ended up ordering only 1 dish. He got a french toast and i got pancakes! wow, i can safely say that they are by far the best pancakes I've had. So fluffy (perfect consistency) and crisp too! we had some cocktails and they were really good too.
the service was attentive and comfortable.
i really don't understand why some people had a bad experience here, but I definitely would suggest giving this place a try! -

This place is very cozy - there's an area in the back with couches where you can just chill out.
I came for the brunch...The french toast here was so good. It was sweet (but not too sweet) and crunchy. I was absolutely full from my duck hash to begin with, but I had to finish the toast because it was that good. I can't wait to come here for dinner! -

Absolutely delicious. We were a group of five and came in on a Sunday morning with hangovers after Santacon. Best way to fix a hangover? Drink some more! I had a mimosa and if you're into bloody Mary's I heard they're pretty tasty.
My friend and I shared the pancakes and the mushroom/spinach omelette which was plenty of food! Both were yummy and the side salad on the plate was excellent as well. Will def go again! -

My best friends and I went for brunch, we live in the area and pass this place all the time.
Great food at an affordable brunch price, great music. can I say that, GREAT music. towards the back there's a little den of couches around a "wood burning" stove, I'm not sure if it was real or not, but I wanted to drink whiskey in an over sized sweater, back there. Any place with great vegetarian options is a win in my book.
Our waitress was really polite and helpful too.
between the three of us, we had the egg white vegetable omelet, the spinach mushroom omelet and the spinach & cheese croissant. the home-fries and salad were also great.
the only con: drinks are not included with Brunch, I know how us New Yorkers feel about that so...
After I submit this review...I'm going to order their pancakes...don't judge. (just found out, they dont deliver on sunday... or saturday... -

Arrived on a snowy evening (yes, in October) and when I walked through the doors, literally felt like I was transfered into some small house in the woods with a fresh fire and delicious smells.
I felt like this place was only lit by candle light so your vision isn't the best in here but wow does it set the mood. We were seated in the middle room (the front room has the bar and the back room is this adorable living room type with some tables and couches and a fireplace) and it was extremely romantic.
Our hostess and food runner were fabulous, our server was a bit lackadaisical but it's okay, once you sit down, you really feel like you are in no hurry.
I had a fabulous cocktail and the name is escaping me, something with hibiscus, yum! I highly recommend getting the house salad, the greens are deliciously refreshing and sets your pallet for a lovely meal. The bread was delicious as well, we kept requesting refills. For my main course I have the mushroom ravioli and I literally could have licked the plate clean. Everything was so fresh and bursting with flavor.
I am pretty sure I would eat here at least once a week if I lived here.Listed in: NYC Bars, Restaurants and…, NYC

brunch here was worth the 45 minute wait!
the place is huge: tables that could fit parties of 6-8 up front, followed by a long banquette, and then the sunlit back room with that awesome wood-burning fireplace, complete with comfy couch and chairs. we happily bided our time there.
i had the spinach and mushroom omelette -- didn't skimp on ingredients, cheese was oozey, but eggs weren't that fluffy. the home fries more than made up for that tho -- that savory tantalizing smell pervading the entire restaurant? that's the home fries. you must try them. pan-seared skin and deliciously soft on the inside.
friends had the duck hash confit, and the spicy lamb sausage. the merguez was particularly gamey and a bit on the sweet side -- definitely had better. both dishes had perfectly cooked eggs... over easy with yolks still runny.
the three of us shared the pancakes... which i can't stop raving about! a stack of two the size of dinner plates, each about an inch thick, with a slightly crispy edges (from all that butter on the griddle, naturally), and covered with fruit and strawberry butter. they were like a soft spongy supermoist cake. i want some more NOW.
other notes: la colombe coffee w/free refills, heard about complimentary pastry baskets but we didn't see one, bloody mary has a kick to it! -

Review from Lana T.
I really wanted to like this place when I first went in, but the food just wasn't that great. The ambiance is really cute and service is decent, but the food was just.. average. It seemed fresh, just wasn't very tasty.
Two of my friends ordered the Norwegian benedict which, IMO, was probably the worst Norwegian benedict I've ever tasted.. I felt bad for them. Not that it was bad, just very bland with lackluster flavor, and I LOVE smoked salmon... pretty disappointing.
My other friend ordered the croque madame, which she said was just okay. I went with the special of the day--fried oysters benedict (I love fried oysters, even more than I love smoked salmon). It was pretty good, albeit not the tastiest thing I've ever eaten--but you can't go wrong with fried oysters, although there were maybe only 5 total. Come to think of it, it should have been way tastier considering there were fried oysters! Greens and home fries were pretty good, but I mean, if the main part of the dish isn't good, there's really no point. The best thing about my meal was probably the latte. My meal was comped but I still feel a little ripped off, so...
Pricing was average, ranging from $9-14 a plate for brunch. We were able to find street parking fairly easily on a Saturday afternoon. You won't REGRET eating here, but there are definitely better options out there. -

Great brunch spot with a delicious menu.
*The croque Madame was huge!
*The pancakes were possibly the most amazing I've ever had. Humongous. Literally like a double layer cake. They didn't even need syrup bc they were so tasty.
*The service was just ok. Kind of pretentious hipster crowd. But whatever the food is good and prices are fair.Listed in: empire state of mind

Read a ton of reviews that said service was poor, and I can't help but think it was because they came later in the day. We got to the restaurant around 10:30am on Saturday for Brunch and had no wait at all. The place is cute and cozy, and the service was friendly enough. I did find it odd they gave us pastries and only had two in the basket for a table of three. They took our order quickly (two croque madame's and the duck hash, plus mimosa!). Our coffee and drinks arrived very fast (strong coffee and strong mimosa), and our food not that much later. The duck hash was very tasty with lots of duck. The eggs on top were cooked perfectly and the yolk was a great addition to the hash and the greens. My friends said the croque madame was delicious as well. Overall the experience was excellent and the food tasty. The price wasn't bad, though I found $7 for a mimosa to be somewhat pricey. Definitely would consider a return visit!

Review from Steve A.
10/2/2011
The music at Le Barricou was the best I've heard at any restaurant in a minute. I asked the waitress and she told me that it was the manager's iPod. It seems like he cherry picked the best songs from the Ultimate Breaks and Beats series by Dusty Groove. In other words a lot of 70s funk which has been sampled by your favorite hip hop artist.
While they do have outdoor seating in front, they can't serve alcohol outside because the liquor license doesn't extend itself outdoors. Since alcohol and brunch goes hand and hand for me (along with those in my group) we opted to eat inside towards the back. I liked the lighting gimmick they had going on where the lights will dim progressively and then light up again.
I had an apple bacon omelette, which tasted as interesting as it sounds. While I wouldn't be able to eat this all the time it did provide me my sweet and salty fix in one dish sans accouterments. The bloody maria was pretty spicy and I enjoyed it was pretty good.
They charged $1 extra because I opted for tequila instead of vodka for a bloody mary, on top of that drinks aren't included in brunch so the substitution charge made no sense. The hostess was top notch and the waitress could have been a bit more attentive, but since it was busy I'll give her a pass. -

This place has a great brunch.
The first time I went was back in August, early on a weekend morning, with a friend. Great choice of brunch items and an interesting cocktail list, though we didn't order any of the cocktails. We did get plenty of refills on our coffee though, which was delicious!
As for the food, my friend got the pancakes and I got the spinach and mushroom omelet. The portions were enormous! The pancakes were not normal pancakes -- it was like a pancake souffle. They were sooo amazing. My friend, who can normally eat an entire pizza himself, couldn't even finish the pancakes! The omelet was really tasty as well, but the thing I remembered most was the pancakes...
Well earlier this week, I had a HUGE craving for this pancake souffle, and that same friend and I went back for brunch there. This time, there was a good long wait out the door, but you know what? It was worth it.
I was a little apprehensive that I had only dreamed about the deliciousness of the pancakes. Nope, they were the same mouth-watering deliciousness... Fluffy on the inside and crispy and chewy on the sides. And just as enormous! Even with my friend's help, I couldn't finish them.
What can I say? Good service (even during a busy brunch), coffee refills, cute decor, interesting cocktails/liquor list... this place is definitely worth a visit. -

Why didn't someone warn me of those gigantic pancakes? It's one thing to be flat and gigantic but this was like ordering a two-layer birthday cake all for myself, except our table had 3. Three of these suckers can easily feed 20 people, ESPECIALLY if each of those people already had their own dish.
As delightful as the strawberry butter was, I wouldn't get this again. It veers away too much from a traditional pancake to bear enough resemblance for me to like it.
As for the duck confit hash, this was great! Not too much duck but delicately put together. This place is totally hip with their free range food and slow service. People in my party loved the bloody mary. -

I went there today for brunch because of all the great reviews.
Food is average and full of garlic, so quite hard to digest, there is a lot of employees but there isn't really anyone taking care of you.
The main turn down is the cleanest of the place. I went there at 11am ( the opening), yet there were still food and one dirty fork under my chair. The floor was clearly dirty, but so were the apron on the waitress, so may be they get clean only once a week?
Anyway fter a long wait of 27 minutes, listening to really bad pop,, I finally got my eggs benedict, but the guy who served me was so sweaty, it was all over his face, that I wonder if some end up on my plate or not.
So no, it wasn't a great experience. I tried to forget about the sloppiness and focus on my plate, but it was kind of hard. -

I went on a Thursday afternoon for lunch with my bf on my birthday. we waited forever to get our menus, then waited forever to get out orders taken. It seemed like there was just one waitress covering the whole restaurant that day.
I ordered the Merguez and Eggs which was Spicy lamb sausage & two sunny side up eggs served with fries & mixed greens. the sausages were really good & flavorful. everything else was a-ok.
my bf ordered the french toast which was on the specials that day. he proclaimed it THEEE BEST french toast he's ever had. i had some too and it was pretty darn good. they caramelize the bread so the texture and flavor was mMmm. The flavoring was just right so you don't even need to use syrup. It also came with fresh berries on top. I wish they would give more berries though..
Next time I come (& i hope the bf does bring me back again), i want to sit in the inside room with the fireplace & piano! there was also a bunch of stuff on the menu that i would love to try. -

I've literally woken from sleep directly out of a dream that I'm eating the french toast at Barricou. That technically means their french toast is a DREAM ON EARTH.
Consistently great music & the best regular drip coffee to boot. Everyone I've brought here has said they wanted to go back for whatever they ordered... Get here early for brunch to get a table. -

One of my favorite restaurant in Williamsburg. Ive been a customer here for a while now and have never had a bad meal. I love the interior. So rustic and charming! Everything I've tried has really "wowed" me. I first started coming here for brunch. few items that really stand out from what I have tried: the mussels and fries, the mac and cheese, the le barricou chicken sandwich (one of the best sandwiched I've ever had), the omlettes, the home-fries, and the best bloody mary's ever. The only thing I can think of to complain about is the service can be a little slow sometimes. I still give 5 stars though.
Thanks for existing Le Barricou...dont ever stop doing what you're doing!
