Café Brume

[From the 6/19/25 newsletter]

We recently went with our friend Toby to a new Alpine restaurant called Café Brume in Brooklyn Heights.

The food at Cafe Brume comes from the Alps so it’s more wintry fare, but it was a cool cloudy day when we ate it so that worked. Highlights were this cold sausage appetizer served with a zingy sauce that we couldn’t quite identify:

And I really enjoyed my trout with roe in the sauce:

That’s salsify in there too in case we have any salsify groupies out there.

But the dessert — a sort of lemon posset with pickled rhubarb and pumpkin seeds — was out-of-this-world delicious.
