On an idyllic corner just off Fort Greene Park, quaint, old-timey Walter's serves up rich Southern and bistro fare with a few French accents, making it incredibly popular with Fort Greene locals. Favorites include roast chicken with cilantro yogurt, fisherman's stew swimming with clams and shrimp, and a reliably good burger in a brioche bun.
Don't neglect the raw bar (oysters, shrimp, littleneck clams) or the craft cocktails – like the punchy Slow Burn with green chartreuse and mezcal. Brunch, meanwhile, doesn't have many surprises – mainstays include omelettes, fried chicken and waffles, and French toast – but they're all made with love.
