BeeHive Oven Biscuit Cafe

Brunch gets a Southern makeover at BeeHive Oven Biscuit Cafe.  The owners, both natives of Austin, Texas, have designed a menu that will transport you straight to the Lone Star State.  After all, you can’t get more Southern than grits, fried okra, collard greens, and fried chicken with mushroom gravy.  Everything served at this Brooklyn restaurant is made in house, to ensure that your taste of Texas is as fresh as possible!

At La Contenta, chef Luis Arce Mota taps into his Mexican roots and French culinary training to create unique dishes that combine elements of both cultures in a rustic setting complete with unfinished wooden tables.  This dual influence is evident in dishes like the Poblano Benedict, with poached eggs, poblano sauce, and queso fresco.  La Contenta also offers innovation in its cocktails, which include ingredients like prickly pear puree.

Ringolevio
