Best Historic Restaurants in Ditmas Park

I normally wouldn't leave Ft. Greene for a restaurant, but this Mexican place had dairy free/gluten free (assuming you can have pure corn). Ruta Oaxaca really decorated so fabulous for Valentine's Day. They printed the specials menu on paper with hearts. This graphic designer appreciates these extras. Then they had a special pink mescal drink for the day and an alcohol-free Corona. There were other alcohol-free drinks on the menu but they were sold out. Sweet, but not cloying so (unless you eat the candy decoration they put in it). They put together a special Valentine's day menu. I had the chicken breast sitting in sauce made of delicious black beans, corn and Mexican black mole sauce. I love black mole so I was in heaven. My wife had verde chicken enchiladas and was equally pleased. We had tea and then got a box for the leftovers. We'll definitely be back. Ruta Oaxaca, please put a chicken & mole dish with cheese optional on the regular menu!

Gargiulo's is a Coney Island institution. The food is excellent, as is the service. With Chef Matthew Cutolo, we're never disappointed. Classic Italian cuisine, with a modern twist. Do yourself a favor, take a walk on the Boardwalk, and end up at Gargiulo's. You'll not be disappointed.

The Parlour is the best of the best when it comes to afternoon tea. The service, the ambience the menu are all top notch. I have celiac disease and have to follow a strict gluten free diet. They have a wonderful selection Of gluten free sandwiches and Pastries. I have been to many afternoon teas all over NYC and this place is by far the best

Food and drinks were delicious. The hot sauce was spicy and tasty.

Gair accommodated our large group beautifully! The windows are gorgeous and there isn't a bad seat in the house!
