There’s also a whole table devoted to pretty desserts like mini éclairs and tarts. The space is pretty and light-filled and the service impeccable - when we asked if a bread was sourdough, the server manning the buffet station said “No, it’s white, but do you want sourdough?,” apparently offering to go to the kitchen to retrieve some. If you’re alone, sit at the soapstone bar, order a drink, and keep visiting the buffet for new plates of triangles of avocado toast strip steak with cilantro sauce roasted carrots granola cups smoked salmon, cream cheese, cornichons, and bagels (brought up from Kossar’s).
Pricey, yes - it’s $45 a person, drinks not included - but a really beautiful, artfully arranged brunch buffet. Plus: sticky-sweet mango bundi payasam (it’s like a mango pudding) for dessert. We love this vegetarian option, which has plenty of fantastic offerings at its $12 weekday-lunch special: delicious, crispy dosas filled with mustard-seed-flavored aloo-gobi tomato rice flecked with cumin seeds and chutneys like a bright-green, spicy cilantro one you’ll want to eat by the spoonful. There are lots of Indian buffets in town. Order a glass of sorrel, and if you’re not dressed to the nines like most of your neighbors at the white-tableclothed restaurant will be, sit at the bar so you can watch rugby on TV. (It’s easiest to drive, and there’s a big parking lot.) The prettily arranged buffet table is decorated with plantains and filled with trays of sauce-coated, spicy “bar b fry” chicken cinnamony, sweet cornmeal porridge traditional provisions (boiled starchy vegetables like cassava).
Also nice: the $29-bottle wine list, and the included pre-pasta bites like slices of octopus, olives, and the bread basket with good grissini.Ĭome for the Sunday buffet ($19), which is usually very busy with well-dressed churchgoers out for lunch after a service, and you may feel like you should move out to Jamaica just to make the trip to this restaurant easier. Not Becco, which stands out from the pack in this regard and because it’s not a one-night-a-week special. So it’s truly all you can eat, which is remarkable: Many restaurants calling themselves all you can eat have time limits, or signs encouraging you to order slowly and not ask for more than you are sure you can handle hardly any allow you to take food to go. “Do you want a to-go box?” your server will ask you, once you’ve slowed down on your third or fourth plate. For $25 ($20 at lunch), every day of the week, you get an unlimited plate of three kinds of pasta, which change nightly but recently included an excellent linguine with clams.
