Brasserie Brixton

French-ish and 100 percent fun, Brasserie Brixton could be your neighborhood hang, but it’s also the kind of place where going big comes with big rewards. Housed in a building that’s over 130 years old and once held a neighborhood market, it’s got an innate charm that’s matched by a menu full of familiar temptations, such as French onion soup and pâté, and more surprising bites, including blood sausage wontons with tamari vinaigrette and chile crisp. Pair all of it with natural wines, cocktails, beer or sake.
