Place des Fêtes was the perfect spot for a surprise anniversary dinner. I was a regular at Oxalis in Crown Heights and already loved what that team does, so when my wife surprised me with a reservation here, I knew we were in for something special. And it didn't disappoint. The space itself sets the tone immediately: exposed brick, beautifully distressed walls, and an open kitchen anchored by two large bars. It's warm and lively without feeling too loud, ideal for a date, catching up with a close friend, or a celebratory night out. We started with a complimentary glass of bubbly from Hungary, which was a lovely touch. From there we ordered a Garden/Variety cocktail (PDF Meyer lemon spirit, market herbs) and a Spring Gimlet (gin, tart cherry, citrus leaf), both excellent and well-balanced. Food-wise, every dish felt thoughtfully composed, beautifully presented, and really good! - The fluke came with rhubarb and pea tendrils: bright, fresh, and a great way to start. - A royal red shrimp special was a highlight, with that deep, sweet shrimp flavor you don't often get. - The crispy maitake mushrooms with black garlic fudge were earthy and crunchy; and the black garlic added a rich umami depth. - We also had the Ojibwe wild rice with morel mushrooms and egg yolk, which was fantastic: hearty and luxurious, packed with flavor. My favorite dish of the evening. - The campanelle pasta with ramps and wild spinach was a perfect seasonal pasta: simple, perfectly balanced, and tasty. Every plate had that "letting the ingredients shine" quality the kitchen is known for: No unnecessary garnish, just really thoughtful, seasonal cooking. The natural wine list was a fun departure too, leaning Spanish rather than French, and our server helped us find glasses that paired beautifully with everything we ordered. Honestly, this might be my new favorite spot in Brooklyn for a special occasion. The food, the wine, the vibe, all of it came together perfectly. Can't wait to go back, and if you loved Oxalis like we did, you'll see the same care and creativity here. Highly recommend for a date night or anniversary celebration. read more

Natty wine bar with good small plates. Finally made it out to try PDF. Menu is comprised mostly of small plates and some larger format mains. Seasonal menu. Great wine list. Mussels were good though quite heavy. Very heavy umami flavor. Sourdough was good. The tomatoes with fresh cheese was a good summer dish, especially with the pops of fresh corn. The snap peas were good though a bit forgettable. The chicken was good. Very tender and tasty. Overall, the food was good, though deceivingly heavy for small plates. Service was good. The ambiance was nice, though the AC definitely did not cut it for that hot summer day. Much better resto for a small group of friends I'd say vs just two people. Get a few bottles of natty wine and that's a good day read more

Everything was delicious here and service was amazing! It was quiet enough so that I could have a conversation. We shared: Mussels en tinta (8/10) smaller than you'd expect but had a nice little kick to them Spring legumes with fresh cheese (10/10) similar to a whipped ricotta and came with delicious African flatbread Ojibwe wild rice (10/10) I was legit licking the plate Sourdough with olive oil (6/10) was suggested by one of the servers but I feel like we could've done without Steelhead trout (10/10) what a perfect crispy skin and was cooked to melt in your mouth Grilled poussin (7/10) was well cooked but nothing crazy amazing maritozzo with passion fruit (8/10) like a cream puff donut with some nice tart passion fruit filling read more

Had a really lovely dinner here with my wife. The kitchen really executed the dishes as a high level. Every item is as it was intended to be and it really lets the flavors shine. Ive walked past this place for ever but wasnt really feeling in the mood for french food. Honestly it was a disservice because the food is far more expansive than just french cuisine. The surprises didnt stop there either, the restaurant is surprisingly large I assumed they could fit 20-30 but I wouldnt be surprised of they can fit twice that. Great place for a date. Service was really nice. The staff dotted their "i"s and crossed their "t"s. Wait staff had a very high level knowledge of the ingredients to be able to watch out for allergies. Food was great. I had the fried mushroom with black garlic, the okinawan potato (must order), the lemon pesto pasta, and the strip steak. -I didnt love the fried mushroom but my wife did. It was super crispy just wasnt up my alley. -the okinawan potato blew my socks off. It just wasnt what I expected the sauce and onions reminded me a little of a ceviche and with the sweet potato I was just so satisfied. - lemon kale pesto pasta was great. The lemon packs a lovely punch and pasta was perfectly cooked. Bonus points for a nut-less pesto. -I enjoyed the strip steak. It doesnt have the crust you might expect but was very tender. The richness of the sabayon and the tart punch of the cherries is a nice addition. Personally I think a couple potatoes on the plate would be nice to mellow it out a bit. Also the portion is quite small for $80. All in all it was a very pleasant surprise. Ive walked past this place so often and had no idea how much of a gem it is. 4.5* read more

Came to Place des Fetes with my wife for a celebratory dinner, and we were blown away by the quality of the service, the food, wine selection, and overall cozy yet romantic vibe! While definitely a splurge for a date night, it felt very reasonable for the quality and uniqueness of the dishes. We had a reservation on a Friday evening at the bar, and it still was incredible service and felt like we had our own room / space to enjoy ourselves. Food-wise we got a lot of dishes, and really wish we could've tried everything on their menu! Every dish we had was exceptional, and we had a wide-range of seafood forward dishes - which required different preparations and the chefs knocked them out of the park. I don't want to spoil the magic of all the dishes, but some of our highlights were the smoked trout salad, mackerel toast, and the fish bits. We were also between two desserts, but went with the financier with smoked dates in the middle and it was such a treat. Looking forward to coming back for another special occasion or popping by for a drink and a couple of plates if we happen to be in the area! read more

Cozy and delicious. Beautiful dimly lit ambiance with exposed brick, distressed walls and pleasant staff. The menu is well thought out and executed. I love the glance into the open kitchen and always opt for counter seating. I haven't been in a few years but we decided to come over for a light dinner after checking out their latest venture Golden Ratio a few doors down. Shared the carrot cavatelli and crispy maitake and some red. The glaze on the cavatelli had a delicious smoky, meaty taste to it and the maitake was perfectly crispy. 10/10 recommend. read more

My partner planned my birthday dinner for the two of us here! The candle light was a nice touch and the place itself was the perfect level of dim. Although I will say the tables are quite snug together and I felt risqué sliding between my neighbors table to get to the inner seat They gave complimentary champagne and a handwritten birthday card which was a lovely surprise! We ordered an olive oil cake slice with pistachios and mascarpone creme. Taste wise didn't stand out particularly but it was beautiful and came with a little birthday candle in it My favorite dish was the bonito with hazelnut and passion fruit sauce. Hope to come back for another special occasion and maybe try out the side-by-side seating at the picnic table read more

Upping to 5 stars because this place is awesome. Returned for dinner, booking ahead for a group of 4. They were amazing about accommodating a bunch of allergies in our party! This time, I tried: + Rhubarb cosmo + Laurel sourdough + crispy maitake mushroom + Little gem + carraflex cabbage + grilled short rib + Tuna belly toast + Mortadella + Campanelle + Basque cheesecake + chocolate choux Cocktail was great. Food highlights were the mushroom, tuna belly toast, campanelle and desserts. Also liked the cabbage and mortadella. They had another reservation coming in, so we had to shift to bar seating for dessert - and they comped us a cucumber sorbet, which was a nice touch! read more

This Spanish wine bar located in Brooklyn is truly a gem. The inside of the restaurant is romantic, warm, and inviting. The staff here is so friendly and helpful in giving recommendations for both food, wine pairings, and just wine in general. When I went, I got the fluke, sweet potato, santa maria steak, and one of their specials that day. Everything was delicious, but my favorite dish was definitely the sweet potato with caviar. It just had a phenomenal kombu-based sauce that I really loved. Their desserts were also delicious and I loved the squash gelato. All of the wines that I had this night were also amazing, and I would come back just for the wines. Highly highly recommend! read more

Wow this place is great. Food is absolutely inspired in addition to being beautiful, and delicious. Service was attentive and accommodating. The two stand out elements of this place are: 1. the ambiance. It's cozy, modern, and perfect for a night with friends. 2. The NA house-made sodas! I tried the grapefruit and the sour lemon. Both were incredible and like nothing I've ever tasted. read more

A warm, cozy wine bar with an open kitchen and inventive tapas. We walked in without a reservation on a Saturday night and took about 30 min to get a seat. Unfortunately all the table and bar seats were taken, so we were sat on the small bench near the wall, which was still nice. Food: While the menu is seasonal and changes all the time, everything we ate was excellent, so I feel that no matter what you get, you'll be satisfied We ordered 4 different tapas: the sardine toast, bangs island mussels en verde, crispy maitake mushroom, and pork collar. The sardine toast was a perfect start with a spatchcocked sardine on top of a layer of smoked butter that was more akin to a sophisticated cream cheese all on a thick multi-grained toast. Simple and one of my favorites. The bang island mussels were coated in a tar colored sauce swimming in fine olive oil had notes of oceanic brine and herb with tangy landmines of what I think were pickled minced onion. The maitake had such a satisfying light crisp with a meaty bite that was addictively dippable in the creamy black garlic sauce. Finally, the pork collar dish with the cabbage and radish was reminiscent of fatty ham hoc with yummy spicy sauce, and was the perfect bookend to the meal. Service: Service was good and wait staff were attentive. Even if there was a minor issue, they were immediately attentive and courteous. Ambiance: With the dim lighting, the establishment had elegance but fit right in as a staple neighborhood wine bar. read more

Outstanding experience. I sat at the bar without a reservation. My server, Morgan, was lovely. He made great recommendations and was very attentive (even for a busy night) I got the sardine toast (an absolute MUST if you enjoy seafood). The bread was made at their sister restraint and had the perfect toast. I also ordered the lamb tartar with chickpea crapes. This was very savory... with the perfect amount of freshness from the garbanzo beans - absolutely delicious! I also had the flan. It was light and came in a different format than i was expecting. What a perfect end to my meal. I will absolutely come again, and definitely will be making this a "must go" spot every time I'm in town. read more

A disappointing restaurant, though perhaps a better wine-bar experience. Another wine bar with a French name and a vaguely mediterranean menu (if you squint). Some dishes were unique (the crispy maitake mushrooms were a highlight; the pork rib chop was small but tender and delicious), others were a fair bit underwhelming (thinly sliced mortadella; a few pieces of lettuce with green goddess dressing). At this price point, I would have expected more of *something*: more quantity, more taste, more adventurous dishes. That said, the service was quick and prompt, especially on water refills (an area where many competitors leave you out to dry). The setting was intimate and cozy as well. The place was busy and humming but not loud at all. read more

A friend and I made a stop here on a weeknight for a drink. This cute wine bar has a cozy, yet clean feel. We got a bar seat in the back where we were able to watch them slice up some salami, which was fun. For drinks, I had the Nectarine Sling ($17). This was light and refreshing with the sweetness from the nectarine. It's a tad pricey for a simple cocktail, but was delicious. Since we just had dinner, I decided to opt for the Choux Craqulin ($15) for dessert. It's a nice sized choux filled with a blueberry compote in the middle. The flavors were well balanced and not too sweet, so I enjoyed this. Despite that, it's quite expensive for a dessert item though. read more

Excellent wine. Great service. Delicious food. Everything we ordered was amazing. The sardine toast was the perfect mix of salty (the fish) and savory (the butter) and tart (the grapefruit kosho). The iberico pork collar and cavatelli were both rich and flavorful, and they complemented each other very well. The choux pastry dessert was not too sweet, with the seasonal grape compote and the creative soba cha cream. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Place, as a restaurant, is interesting. I will say, delicious eggs benedict - slow service.

There is a zone for everyone in this establishment--bar seating for couples and friends, intimate booths for those looking for more comfort, and then uncomfortable stools for those who did not make a reservation facing the wall. The wine itself leaves much to be desired. The menu is inaccessible and the obscurity makes it hard for you to order something you simply enjoy. The greatest experience is the suspense of not knowing what you will get. Don't get the tuxedo--it tastes primarily like lemon rinds. Not what I love. read more

Place de fêtes runs closer to a 4.3 for me (if that's an option). The biggest standout to me is not their food or drink but their uniqueness as being a resturaunt in nyc where you can really wine and dine and enjoy your evening with friends...and no server will be trying to push you out. Granted, we order almost everything on the menu so perhaps we were getting better treatment. Still, I felt so relaxed here and saw everyone around me, seemingly locals, really enjoying their time. The standouts on the menu were the gem salad (truly the best salad I've had), the sardines, and the maitake mushrooms. I would recommend sharing a number of small plates over the mains because none of them stood out to me. Overall, PdF is a pricey spot but I would happily come back for a chilled glass and a snack. read more

I don't understand how this place doesn't have only five stars. The food my friend and I had was all phenomenal (fluke, cabbage salad, sourdough bread, Spanish mackerel, maitake mushrooms, and bucatini. I was able to make all my dishes vegan and the server was attentive and helped me modify my dishes to accommodate my dietary preferences. The are is cute. The place was clean looking and warm and that was much appreciated during the coldest weekend on earth. Would come here again and again. read more

The last Place des Fêtes I went to was a quiet station on Metro Line 7bis, the Franklin Avenue shuttle equivalent of Paris, in the uncelebrated 19ème. This Place des Fêtes was far more welcoming and befitting of its celebratory name. From a vegetarian's standpoint, the destination dish here is the maitake mushroom with black garlic fudge, whose flavor is as elusive as its title. It pairs well with the sourdough, of which we consumed far too much. In the spirit of the upcoming fête of unleaveaned bread, we also tried the farinata, which came with a smoky mix of garbanzo and avocado and was a lovely light addition to the meal. read more

My husbsand and I were big fans of Oxalis, so naturally we must try Place des Fetes. It was our anniversary dinner last night. Started with warmest welcome from all the staff members and we were seated in the dimly lit corner booth in the rustic back room. Every single dish we've had were PHEONMENAL: raw lamb, garbanzo, oxalis - similar to a tartar, what a fun bite don bocarte anchovies - I want to eat these every day for the rest of my life cabbage, clams special - wow, just wow. the sauce was out of this world. pork country rib chop, jus de viande, erbette - can you believe I used to not eat pork because pork in this country stinks? This was one of the best piece of pork I've ever had. Thank you for making dining out fun again. read more

Amazing meal, space, menu, team, loved it all. We sat at the bar, food came quickly once we figured out what we wanted to order and the team was great explaining everything to us. Would recommend anything on the menu as we didn't have a single weak dish. Dessert was also fantastic. I'll be thinking about the fried mushrooms for a long while. read more

3.5/5 Delicious food in the cutest, cozy space in Clinton Hill! I would definitely come here for the cute vibes and great service. My favorites were the mains - we got the black bass and malfadine pasta. The frontage ice cream was also incredible and I wanted more. Everything else didn't really stand out to me and were a little too salty for my liking, so I found the dishes were really hit or miss. The sardine toast was salty (although expected), the mussels were quite sour and a little fishy, the potato dish sauce was delicious but the flour part had very little flavor and just felt like balls of dough. The bottle of red wine our waiter recommended was excellent and I enjoyed the vermut as well, which was a little sweeter. For the price, I expected a little more from the taste of the food, but I really enjoyed my time here due to the vibes and service! read more

I really do believe I was born to hang out and eat at places like this. I don't think it is necessary for every restaurant to prioritize their vibe, but there is something so magical when the food, drinks, service, and vibe come together in the right way. We foolishly ate pizza and were verging on full before we came, but once we got dinner seating instead of bar seating, we made room for some more snacks. Place des Fetes recommends everything be shared, and that a table orders 3-5 plates per person. Instead, we went with the popular Bangs Island Mussels en Verde and Crispy Maitake Mushroom small dishes. The mussels had a great bright green sauce that makes it appealing for even the least seafood friendly person at the table. The mushrooms were served fried with a black garlic fudge. So, so delicious. Yes, this is a wine bar.. but we couldn't help ourselves but to order cocktails. I got the Yuzu Collins which essentially tasted like 7up. My friend made the genius decision to get a Margarita. I promise you, this is the best balanced margarita I've ever had. Really great balance of each element. And of course, once we knew there was a dessert menu, I needed to have it. We ordered the Basque Cheesecake (plum and magnolia) and the Choux Craquelin with Soba Cha and Grape. I'm not typically a cheesecake fan so while I thought it was good I wasn't too impressed. The choux on the other hand... amazing and fantastic. Literally yum! Also check out their bathroom - an individual towel for every customer TLDR -- Definitely come, do not stuff yourself with pizza before, make a reservation as soon as possible, and be prepared to spend some money. read more

Great food and service! I highly recommend this restaurant. Both the food and wine offerings are outstanding.

I had a lovely experience at Place des Fetes. I went her with my family and we had nice dinner. The food was impeccably made. I enjoyed each dish we got. For a table of 4, we got 6-7 plates. Everything is served tapas style. My favorite dish was the fried mushrooms. With the sauce, it was a crispy flavor bomb in my mouth. The umami taste was so good. The country rib was also another favorite of mine. The meat was sweet and flavorful. It was a great main dish. The inside was beautiful. I like how intimate it was inside. Very stylish place to take your friends or family. The service was great too. Our server was helpful and informative. I highly recommend this place to impress any visitors or friends. read more

We went here for our team dinner and had a pretty large group. They had a large table ready for us with custom printed menus and a very dedicated wait staff. From the minute we entered to the point we left, they made each of us feel so warm and welcome, catered to every varying need and dietary restriction, and did so with huge smiles. The food was absolutely spectacular. We had 15 different dishes (and a few custom dishes for those with restrictions) and every single dish was made with finesse and care, bursting with flavor and with fresh ingredients that worked in perfect harmony together. The chef had clearly put a lot of thought into their menu and I appreciated that. The three most outstanding dishes of the night for me were: 1. The bucatini with green peppers and razor clams. This was one of the nicest pastas I've had in a very long time. Very unique and different from what you'd usually get, and everything just worked flawlessly. I could easily go back just to devour a huge bowl of this. 2. The crispy lamb with whole wheat flatbread and green harissa looked unassuming, but it was an absolute flavor bomb. Highly recommend. 3. The chocolate choux craquelin. Everything about this was perfection. It was rich and decadent yet light and refreshing, and was just the perfect end to an outstanding meal. I'd very highly recommend PDF for a romantic dinner with a loved one, as well as with larger groups like ours. Worth going to Brooklyn for this. read more

Ah, Place des Fêtes-- yet another paragon of these modern wine bar times with the expected natural wine list and cerebral fare (my fave). Approaching their minimalist doors and host stand, one expects (or rather I expected) skin-contact wines flowing freely from the sommelier to each well informed guest. My knowledgeable server did offer great pairing suggestions, but the flavors ultimately proved to be more cookie cutter than I hoped. Of the well prepared plates, the bangs island mussels in piquillo broth was the best bite, with a nice peppery zing from the piquillo. Their crispy maitake mushrooms I also enjoyed, crowned by a tasty yet strangely named "black garlic fudge." The spicy squash rigatoni was comforting but not amazing. When it came time for dessert, I wavered between the chocolate choux and butter pecan ice cream. Coming to my rescue our server offered for me to choose one and brought out the other dessert on the house so I didn't need to choose. They allowed my date and I to linger for some time after our meal was done, while we enjoyed more wine and the chill ambience. Place des Fêtes is Oxalis's more casual sister restaurant and fans of Oxalis or just fans of the wine bar format will enjoy this neighborhood spot, if not for the novelty of the food but the superb service and excellent wine list. read more

Is it crazy to say this is my number 1 favorite restaurant I've been to in new york? An extremely high quality restaurant without the pretentiousness and high price points. I tasted one of the best pastas I've ever had. Ordered a buccatini pasta with a nice level of spice to it, with flavors that are indescribable but blend so well together. We also got some dessert that had paw paw cream on it. We asked the chef in front of us what it was and he explained that it was a rare fruit that needed to be pureed immediately or else the fruit goes bad. And this is exactly why I know this place is serving not only high quality, but unique flavors. They also have a phenomenal wine selection! I have told every single one of my friends about this wonderful place already. Food, ambience, service, is all perfect read more

Very simple dishes, great wine selection, service was mixed. definitely a bit out of the way if you're not in the neighborhood. Came here with a group of 5 and we were seated in a cozy booth. We ordered a wine which was relatively basic, but had a funky taste that I enjoyed but one of our party did not. Food menu was simple and relatively long and diverse for a wine bar. It was difficult to know how much to order given the range of dish sizes and the lack of much correlation with price (some of the bites were like $20). The waitress was unfortunately not very helpful. We aimed to order less and mentioned that we might order another dish later; "the kitchen typically doesn't like when you do that." I cannot understand why she would say this. If we ultimately wanted to order it, we would have felt uncomfortable but presumably the kitchen would have made the order. If we didn't, she made it clear to us the place is inflexible for no reason. Also, we were seated in the middle of service - there was no issue preventing them from making an additional pasta. I personally didn't mind too much, but I found it representative of the service: aloof. There weren't too many people and I found it odd how infrequent it was. The food was great. Dishes were simple and really highlighted the quality of the ingredients. One of the dishes was just 5 anchovies. Best anchovies of my life and they literally cost $1 each in bulk. The steak was simple and perfect. A galette de rois was a fun special. Cost per person (including a bottle of wine) was $60. reasonable, though we probably would have ordered another dish if we wanted to fill up. If you don't live in the area, it'll be difficult to get here. It was at least a 10 minute walk to the nearest transit. read more

Amazing evening! Service was impeccable. We lucked out by getting a seat at the bar overlooking the kitchen. We were so enthralled watching the kitchen work. The raw bar selection was incredible, so much attention to detail. The maitake with a side of garlic fudge is un-missable. The potato dumplings is the most elevated potato I've ever had. The deserts were so imaginative (we got three!) and a perfect end to our meal. 15/10 read more

We'd heard a lot of buzz about Place des Fetes and we're excited to try it out. We came on a Friday night for a late night reservation and it was super busy in the dining room. Tables are a tight squeeze, but the decor and ambiance are really nice. We started out with cocktails. I got the margarita which was a little bit acidic. We got the mussels, bread, sardine toast, fried maitake mushroom, gnudi, and pork collar. The mussels were awesome. I love that they were already shelled and lined up underneath the squid ink sauce. Definitely a must order. The sardine toast was probably the most delicious thing we ate. Perfectly balanced over a piece of sourdough bread. The maitake mushroom was also very good. The gnudi reminded me more of a firm gnocchi, probably not something I'd choose again. The pork collar was great - a fun cut to have on the menu. Definitely worthy of a visit in Clinton Hill! read more

Perhaps a slight victim of expectations here--both from my appreciation for Oxalis, what I had heard about this new spot from others, as well as the price point set--but this was a decent meal that ultimately feel a bit short of high expectations. Started out hot--the tuna tartare served with a fluffy horseradish cream was an absolute highlight, a small plate that left us craving more. Mussels em tinto were pretty good as well--a bit too one note and purely tart/a bit overwhelmed by the sauce, but still enjoyable. Next we had some Bread and olive oil and cheese, and here's where the price point and portion size really annoyed me. Paying for bread in general annoys me, and $10 for a small plate of bread is just a major nuisance. And the cheese was just fine, but a tiny portion of one cheese does that I could have bought at most nearby specialty cheese stores died not a cheese plate make. Finally had the crispy maitake mushroom with black garlic fudge--tasty but small--as a veggie side to a stingray wing as a special entree. Thought this sounded unique and interesting to try--was recommended by the server--but ultimately it was overly breaded and a bit bland, chewy, and dry--quite a disappointment. Wine selection was quite good and enjoyable throughout. Not cheap of course but many options for parings. We got a small side table which was ok but a bit cramped. Overall ok, but at price point and for experience and given many other options in the area, can't see heavily recommending and don't see ourselves going back. read more

Stopped in after dinner for wine and cheese. The server was very knowledgeable of their wine and made perfect suggestions. The cheese he paired with the wine was incredible-as was the citrus salad. My only negative is I was over charged, as we had half glasses (they had offered for us to split 50/50 each glass/pairing since we werent big drinkers) but the bill ended up having each as a full glass charge. read more

The Fish is quite a surprise (don't remember the name...it's an around $70ish dish in the last section of the menu). Very tender, and more importantly for a person who is super sensitive about the fishy taste, no fishy smell was tasted at all. The vegetables dish was the special of the day and it is like pickled vegetables. Especially love the ham and the crispy mushroom! The mushroom is very crispy while the mushroom inside remains juicy. A very wonderful taste (it is like you are having some delicious meat but it's actually mushroom). All dishes go well with the sourdough too! read more
