Brabant
Named after the historic province located in the heart of Belgium until it was divided in 1995. Brabant seeks to revitalize and reunite this culturally-rich region in the heart of New York City. At Brabant, there is no division between the French-speaking Wallonia and the Dutch-speaking Flanders—all are welcome to come together in an old-world brasserie setting and enjoy the finest cuisine and beer that Belgium has to offer. More specifically, as you wash down a hearty bite of our Carbonnade Flamande with a dark Belgian ale, like Chimay Blue, dip the last of your frites in one of our special Belgian sauces or indulge in a Brussels-style waffle topped with warm Belgian chocolate and homemade whipped cream, you will at the same time be captivated by the warmth that emanates from Brabant's cozy and charming interior and the endearing service provided by our staff, which includes the passionate and innovative Belgian chef Armand Vanderstigchel.

"Excellent service and outstanding beer selection. Terrine de Foies de Volaille (chicken liver pate) was delicious and I don't usually care for things like that. Mac and Cheese was excellent and very filling. As expected, Stoemp was tasty and the Ali & Creme Moules (Mussels) were excellent with a large portion size. Actually, all the options for Mussels looked really good and they come with good frites, too. Server really knew the items on the menu and even steered me to a lower priced entree which surprised me but boy was it good! While not crispy as advertised the Limburgse Wild Berry Strudel tasted good. I wanted to try one of the waffles for dessert but I was too full. Prices seem fair for dinner."

"Went to dinner here with my wife. Years ago we had been to a great Belgian restaurant in London that had great mussels and Belgian beer. So we went with the mussels at Brabant and they did not disappoint. The Belgian beer list was very good too. The staff was super friendly. Our waiter was Matthew, he was great and so were all the others sorry I don't remember all of their names otherwise I would recognize them too. I would definitely go back."

"We went here to a theater after party, which featured passed snacks and a buffet. Everyone was raving how good the food was and the coziness of this rather large mid town restaurant. We decided to go back for dinner and were very pleased how gracious the host was and how good the food was. We had the mussels and frites, steak tartare, carbonnade of beef and banana foster waffles. Just well prepared food served with a big beer selection. will be back"

"I was between Brabant and a place in the West Village for a birthday dinner with friends and am so glad I ended up choosing Brabant. I had been there a number if times already so I knew the food to be delicious. For the birthday dinner they set up a really nice table for us and let us proceed through dinner in a leisurely fashion without rushing us. The chef sent over a complimentary appetizer and the bar tender offered us a complimentary port after dinner, so a nice recognition of the fact that we chose their restaurant for our celebration. One of my friends called to make sure it was ok if she brought a special cake and they were very nice about it (stored for us, brought it out with candles, sliced it for us, etc.). Great place!!!"

"I went here with a small group of colleagues for a workday lunch. We arrived at 11:45 and it took 15 minutes to get 4 Diet Cokes.
They messed up half of the orders...an order of mussels came out 30 minutes after other entrees. The waiter acknowledged he is new, but still: this is New York...you can't operate such a terrible way.
What was meant to be a nice office getaway lunch turned into a nightmare."

"How do you fit a genuine Belgian treat into the box-checking above? I couldn't. The Belgian beer list, both on tap and in bottles, was spectacular. The menu was classic Belgian bistro--moules frites, carbonnade...and what great frites!
Can't wait to go back!"

"Food was much better than the service, which was a bit spotty. But overall quite nice. We were a party of 8... they gave us a long table, 4 seats on each side.... A round table would have been better, but the only ones were in the back, which was seemingly not being used. But I'd go back........."

"I visited Brabant twice. Food is pricey, but was very good both times. Service was excellent on the first visit. The waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the beers and menu items. On the second visit, we had a different wait staff and the service was inconsistent. The chef came out to greet some of the customers which was nice. The hostess and bus buy worked very hard to clear the tables and accommodate customers' requests, but the rest of the wait staff disappeared for long period of time without checking on the customers."

"Excellent and authentic Belgian cuisine. The many Belgian beers are served in their authentic logo glassware. Attentive and enthusiastic waitstaff. Owner on premises and very connected with entire operation, from kitchen to front-of-house. Excellent selection of specials. Solid daily menu of many Belgian specialties: moules, frites, ragouts, etc.. Delicious desserts! Would certainly return to this new and worthy dining establishment."

"Thought that the ambiance was great, I would love to go back to the resturant if the food was any better . Everything wa s reallu bland the best thing was the applewood smoked bacon, something that you don't go to a Belgium resturant to have. The waffles were nice but didn't taste like anything a waffle should taste like."

"Easter dinner at Brabant. Excellent selection of Belgian beers. Had two of their Easter specials; braised lamb shank and roasted pork loin, both of which were well prepared, beautifully presented, and excellent. The desserts, a Belgian rice pudding and a hazelnut & chocolate crepe, were huge, artery-clogging, and delicious. The service staff were very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very attentive. An overall memorable and pleaseant experience. We will go there again!"

"Discovered this hidden gem after a recommendation from a colleague. I was very impressed. When I walked in everyone was very warm from the hostess to the bar staff. The first time I came here my friend and I sat at the bar and drank their classic Belgian beer on tap. We ordered the calamari and something else I can't remember off hand but we loved it lol. She basically stole the both plates from me. Guess she liked it. The bartenders are fun and friendly the food is great. Very authentic Belgian bar/restaurant if I have to say so myself."

"We love good beer and good Belgian food and Brabant delivers on both counts. The beer list may not be as large as at other places, but the selections are wonderful: Malheur12 (bottle) and Leffe Bruno on tap. The wine list is also nicely chosen and priced with several good choices under $10 per glass. To start the meal we had the bitterballen and truffle croquettes. Both had a crunchy, oil free coating. The truffle croquettes had a light, smooth filing; the bitterballen a tender beef filing. We also had escargot, served on individual puff pastry shells with a tomato concasse, and duck breast, served with cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. The duck was perfectly cooked (medium rare) , tender and flavorful. Can't wait to return."

"My wife is Belgian and we live in Ottawa, Canada which is a significantly smaller city than NYC so it is understandable that there would not be a lot of Belgian cuisine. We travel from time to time to Montreal, but even in Montreal we have yet to find any Belgian cuisine. BBB was incredible! After a 3 night stay in NYC, this was one of the last things on our list before heading out for Ottawa the next morning and let me tell you: INCREDIBLE. Authentic Belgian cuisine not in Belgium! My wife loved it and picked out things I didn't even notice - like a lot of their decor or even the correct glasses for their bottles of Pauwel Kwak! Belgian cuisine has often been described as "French quality, German quantity" and BBB certainly lived up to that"

"4 of us went there on Valentine's Day. It was a great choice. Food and dessert are good. Everyone was satisfied with their food, except me. I ordered Mussel, it tasted really good but the mussels are very small. I expected larger ones as shown in the website. The other con is very long interval between main course and dessert. It is understandable that many people on that night. Overall is good"

"An attractive mid-town east ambience; however, the mussels were overcooked.
One wonders why the managers do not correct this problem, as it has been
noted before."

"An absolute great find! I was not familiar with this restaurant but discovered it during research for a romantic spot for my first married Valentine's day with my wife. Short walking distance from the Doubletree Hilton Metropolitan, so it was perfect. The menu sounded delicious and it would be a new experience for the both of us. Our meals were amazing, I expected the prix fixe menu but was secretly hoping to try their regular menu. Every course did not disappoint. (Me: calamari, steak frites, and dame blance; my wife: salad, striped bass, and chocolate lava decadence) The wine & beer list was impressive. The staff was attentive and very cordial. Wonderful experience, I would most definitely return!!"

"In my estimation, it was expensive for the relative quality of food and service. Nothing off putting, per se, just not a spot I'm dying to get back to. On a positive note, it seemed to have a good bar scene."

"Good food and a great selection of beers. Service was excellent - attentive but not overbearing. There was quite a crowd at the bar (a work party, we think) so the bar was busy, but may or not be on a normal Friday night. There are some tables in the front room by the bar, but there is also a good-sized back room so our meal wasn't noisy. Great place. We will be back!"

"Overlooked on the menu is good are their hamburgers (and of course top notch fries). That plus the onion soup makes this a great meal on a cold night. It's not a 'notable wine list' but their beer slection is worth the trip."

"I think I caught them on an off night. Bread was stale, duck was undercooked, even the soda was flat. But I really like this place and given all the excellent meals I've had here I'll chalk this one up to a freezing cold night and an empty place resulting in less than what I'm come to expect from them."
