This is a pork place but you have to take the tuna tartar served on tempura eggplant. The bbq sliders are also fantastic. Avoid the spaetzl though.

The chef selection IS a good deal, and can be customized to dietary restrictions and we were able to request a few dishes to be included.

Go for the Chef's tasting menu. Let them know if you have allergies/preferences and they will be very accommodating. Ask for the sweetbreads special.

Strawberry ribs a must, rib sliders good too but heavy, truffle gnocci is bomb

Hands down some of the best food I've ever had in new York. The chef is very inquisitive and has a wonderful understanding of new American cuisine .... good shiiitttt!!!

Do the chefs tasting menu, a little of everything good. Strawberry cinnamon ribs, bacon maple donuts.

sit at the bar if there are no tables free. shorter wait and really great service - the bartenders will take your food orders + answer any questions you may have

Chef's tasting menu is like a non-stop flavor assault on your tastebuds. It's fully worth the $80 and I highly recommend it.
Danielle CarrickSeptember 28, 2013
Can't go wrong with the menu. Sit at the bar for an awesome view of the chefs. My red pearl cocktail was baller.

The Bacon Donuts were A-friggin-mazing! Awesome food, great staff and service. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Brooklyn!

Big eye tuna on eggplant tempura and strawberry cinnamon ribs, but the whole menu is the work of magicians.

Allison is legit the best server ever. If you have her waiting on you tonight, considered yourself blessed. Oh and get everything 👍.

Great place to share food with friends. Pork dishes are awesome. Cocktails are somewhat disappointing.

I was shocked how delicious and affordable this restaurant was. Top 5 in BK. 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋

You might never know how much you love bacon doughnuts if you miss out on Traif. Brooklyn's best New American pick.
Devin ParkerMay 27, 2016
Gnocchi and roasted cauliflower are wonderful and great options for vegetarians
Dana DFebruary 4, 2012
Seasonal menu focused on pork and seafood goodness. And, yes, bacon doughnuts.

Bold and delicious menu - remember to save room for the Bacon Donuts with Coffee Ice Cream!
Annie TNovember 17, 2010
One of those menus where you can't go wrong. Ordered the autumn salad, glazed wings, strawberry ribs, pork belly, and bacon doughnuts. Each single dish was delish!

Get the chef's selection! What a deal. (And very accommodating to pescatarians!)

Omg everything here is amazing, esp pork belly salad and snap pea salad. Lots of surprises. Margarita had secret licorice flavor, amazing, and I am not normally a licorice fan.

Had my wedding brunch here. Heather was a dream to plan with. Highly recommend for a special event :D

While the patio might seem like the obvious seating choice, a seat at the counter in front of the open kitchen allows you to watch Jason work his magic. Also: BACON DOUGHNUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read more
Whitney B.April 29, 2012
it's been said before, but i'll say it again. BACON DONUTS. sliders and sweet potato fries are also as amazing as a lionel richie song.
Giorgia LucciolaAugust 25, 2013
Get the sliders and the bacon donuts. And sit at the bar, the staff there is awesome.

It's true about the bacon doughnuts. Also, everything is incredible. Especially the foie and the scallops.
Mingfei YanNovember 11, 2013
Great tasting menu! 11 courses with only $45. Never miss out the bacon donut!
Genevieve LeeAugust 31, 2011
Anything with pork in it was good. Some of the other meals not so hot, or had ingredients that didn't work well together. Overall a pretty good meal, and definitely get dessert there
Luis FernandezOctober 14, 2016
Amazing food! great place! Not cheap though, so be prepared!
David EllisMarch 15, 2013
If you can handle a chili-infused vodka, the Red Pearl is a must. Absolutely top cocktail.
Kimmie OhhDecember 6, 2019
Pork pork pork. They have bacon donuts!

Top to bottom one of the strongest menus in the city. Great bartenders, too. If I had to pick one dish, I'd have to go with the broccoli rabe.

Berkshire pork belly is delicious; accompany w roasted beets and you are set

I wanted to eat everything! So amazing. For two people, get two or three from the top of the menu and one or two from the bottom...and dessert.
