DINING OUT: Stone Park Cafe
When we think of brunch in Park Slope, we think of our time and stomach-tested shortlist that unequivocally features Stone Park Café.
This is because while just about every restaurant in Park Slope offers a brunch option, Stone Park offers the kind of experience that pretty much defines brunch in Brooklyn: casual yet classy, affordable yet exceptional, seasonal yet not hastily thrown together. The menu focuses on freshness, and features inventive takes on classic dishes.
On the breakfast side, there are the Eggs Benedict with spinach or Canadian bacon or both ($13/$14), a Short Rib Hash and Eggs ($14), a large Quiche wedge with salad or fries ($12), and a range of omelets ($13; The Chef, The Greek, The Spicy, The Chosen, and build-your-own) stuffed with four fillings ranging from housemade sausage and smoked salmon to roasted garlic, pico de gallo, and feta cheese. The savory options continue with Biscuits and Gravy ($13), Anson Mills White Grits with a poached egg ($12; $15 with shrimp), and Buttermilk Pancakes or Sourdough French Toast ($12).
