For this, the foodie tour of Brooklyn, we had breakfast at Tom’s Diner, lunch with Nathan’s hot dogs in Coney Island and now, on to dinner at the Bromberg Brothers’ signature Blue Ribbon Brasserie in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Located at 280 Fifth Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11215, between 1st Street and Garfield Place; (718) 840-0404, the Blue Ribbon has an oyster bar and a dining room which offers everything from bakery products to an eclectic dinner menu with a mix of fine American food and French, Oriental and Arabic dishes, accompanied by plenty of kid friendly, family and group dining options.

Start with an appetizer of fried oysters, smoked salmon, hummus or some choice shrimps. The best soups are either the Matzoh Ball Soup or the Cream of Tomato. For the main course, try the New York Strip with onions, mushrooms, green beans and fries or the Fried Chicken. One plate of fried chicken is probably more than enough for two people, with four big pieces of chicken,  with mouth watering gravy of mashed potatoes and collard greens, and a cup of honey on the side to enhance the taste in between chicken bites.

But the best is yet to come. For Dessert, there’s nothing which comes close to the super-duper Blue Ribbon Chocolate Bruno, served with three flavors of icecream and a liberal dose of chocolate syrup. People come here just for the Chocolate Bruno, and end up having a full dinner.

The cost has climbed steadily upward once this place became a secret which everyone knew about, and the restaurant started winning awards and stuff. Reservations available only for groups, so if you’re single or a couple, you’ll likely have to endure a wait of between 20 minutes to 45 minutes. But it’s still worth every penny and the wait. Anyway you look at it, it’s filling, very tasty and a dinner at the Brooklyn Blue Ribbon is just the ticket to knock the lights out of you after a tiring day out in the streets of New York.
