About MEAT NY
Forget pretentious fine dining – MEAT in Crown Heights throws a Brooklyn bash for your taste buds! Opened in March of 2023 with the promise of delivering both a “truly decadent dining experience” and craft cocktails that “elevate mixology to an art form,” MEAT made an instant, refreshing splash on the Brooklyn kosher scene. Imagine: chic brownstone vibes meet sleek marble and killer cocktails in a bar buzzing with energy. Feeling fancy? Snag a seat in the private ivy-adorned haven (because, why not?).
The atmosphere at MEAT is unbelievable, but the true star here is the food. Dive into Mediterranean delights with a modern twist: start off with the “Tour of Italy” Artisan Olive Oil Tasting, with three selections from the length of the peninsula, served with a selection of fresh-baked breads. Or try the Carciofi alla Romana, a dish of artichokes seared Roman-style and served with a sauce of red onions, mint, white wine, and lemon.
For a meatier Italian appetizer, opt for the Lamb Shoulder Carpaccio or the Gran Tagliere, a board loaded up with all of MEAT’s house-made salumi varieties, plus an assortment of pickles, condiments, fruit, bread, and olives. The Lamb Tongue, featuring seasonal chicory greens, black truffle, and three-minute egg, is another great starter that showcases MEAT’s unconventional culinary artistry.
Don’t skip the pasta course! The Agnolotti — pillowy pockets of fresh pasta filled with beef cheek and squab liver and kissed with black truffle — and the Bucatini Amatriciana — tossed with house-made guanciale, fresh tomato, and vegan pecorino — are each worth a trip to MEAT all by themselves, and the Tagliatelle with asparagus and house-made pancetta is a masterpiece of simplicity.
For the main course, MEAT truly covers the full range of its namesake protein. There are exquisite beef options, of course; the Hanger Steak is bedecked with yellow foot chanterelles, potato pave, charred onions, and bone marrow sugo, while the pepper-crusted and charred Beef Tongue is accompanied by fagioli misti, a bright salsa verde, and house-pickled red onions. The Short Rib, featuring potato puree, crispy fried onions, and a decadent mixed mushroom and bone marrow brodo, is a signature favorite. Also available are thick-cut Lamb Chops, served with with creamy polenta, balsamic cippolini, pepperonata, and lamb sausage. More traditional steak options, like wet- or dry-aged bone-in ribeye and a dry-aged tomahawk are available from the restaurant’s impressive Aging Room.
But MEAT is hardly just another kosher steakhouse. Here, the fowl and fish get just as much detailed attention as the beef and lamb. The Duck combines both seared breast and confit leg with a grilled peach agrodolce and summer squash barlotto, while the whole roasted Squab is served atop candied root vegetables, roasted sunchokes, and a foie sugo. The Chicken Torchon is familiar yet elevated, featuring charred Hudson Valley corn, house-made pancetta lardons, seared fingerling potatoes, and an earthy black truffle vinaigrette. And the whole Salt-Baked Branzino for Two is stuffed with herbs and citrus, accompanied by broccoli rabe, and filleted table side.
The flavor odyssey continues at the bar, where MEAT’s talented mixologists serve up signature creations like the Ginnie in a Bottle — featuring Hendrick’s Gin, raspberry puree, lemon, and egg white — and the 505 — a spicy-sweet mix of Casamigos Blanco Tequila, mezcal, honey, and lemon chili pepper. These are absolute pros with a seemingly endless supply of creativity, so there are always new concoctions to try. And Tuesday night is even Ladies’ Night, where ladies drink free with purchase of an entree, making for a perfect opportunity to order something other than your usual favorite.
As promised when it opened last year, MEAT isn't just a meal; it's an experience. Savor Brooklyn's rich history woven into a vibrant culinary tapestry. The exposed brick walls whisper tales of the borough's past, while the modern décor and lively atmosphere celebrate its present. The friendly staff adds to the warmth, ensuring your visit is filled with laughter and good company, perhaps over a glass of expertly paired wine or one of the best handcrafted cocktails you’ve ever had.
o ditch the boring routine and treat yourself – your taste buds will be singing! Don't forget to snap drool-worthy pics to make everyone jealous, but be warned: they might just book their next trip to Brooklyn just for a taste of MEAT!
