“Relaxed,” “fun” and “unpretentious” are not words typically associated with French fare, but they definitely describe Brasserie Brixton. Housed in a building that’s over 130 years old and used to be a neighborhood market, the eatery is decidedly unstuffy and boasts an impressive wine list as well as a strong selection of cocktails, beer, cider and sake. Stop in for a bowl of French onion soup, or eat your way through a selection of dishes that change with the seasons and offer playful touches, all at the kind of spot we wish every neighborhood had.
