GREAT BROOKLYN GASTRONOMY
Michelin Inspectors Select Top Borough Restaurants
NEW YORK (March 5, 2007) To help celebrate the 125 th year of the
Brooklyn Bridge, Michelin's world-renowned inspectors have released their
recommendations for the top restaurants in the borough. The selections
included in Brooklyn's top restaurants
represent a remarkable variety of cuisines at many different price levels.
The list includes two starred restaurants and two Bib Gourmands. Bib Gourmand
restaurants are the inspectors' favorites for good value. All restaurants in the
selection are featured in the Michelin Guide New York City 2007.
"Brooklyn has such a culturally rich
history and tradition," said Jean-Luc Naret, director of the Michelin
Guide. "Our inspectors have found that the cuisine is as rich and
diverse as the people who call Brooklyn home
they have great food right here in their back yard."
The inspectors' selections are:
• Peter Luger (Steakhouse, One Star), 178 Broadway (at Driggs Ave.),
718-387-7400
• Saul (Contemporary, One Star), 140 Smith St. (between Bergen &
Dean Sts.), 718-935-9842
• Chestnut (Contemporary), 271 Smith St. (between De Graw &
Sackett Sts.), 718-243-0049
