Rec | DEETJEN’S BIG SUR

🌸

i’m pretty sure this is the best restaurant in the world i’m not even exaggerating. grandpa deetjen built this place with his own two hands in the 1930s, the love exudes from the food, the walls, the rose bushes growing outside…

Stissing house

This is a gem of a restaurant. Lit by candlelight, the 18th century house is adorned with wooden chairs, gingham couches, grand fireplaces, and a bar cluttered with glass bottles that catch the flames burning at each table. I felt as though I was invited into someone’s home, and the glasses and plates were recently pulled from their cupboards. We ordered a radish special, which I topped generously with their freshly whipped butter and flakey sea salt. I finished the meal with a velvety cup of coffee and a super sticky toffee sundae, served in a silver dish with homemade vanilla ice cream and whip. I want to be there every night, and I feel that its specialness would remain robust in the face of my frequent visits.

fradei bk

i’m going back for the 4th time in a year tomorrow. it is the absolute pinnacle of dining to me, i’ve been to pretty much every hotspot in nyc (carbone, misi, lilia, frenchette, dhamaka, red hook tavern on and on) and fradei is my number one and it is not close. i would argue its my favorite restaurant on earth. i think my passion for this place is how under the radar it is - she deserves a michelin star and doesn’t have one and that maybe makes me love it more. seats 14 people at a time, the servers all basically are professional sommeliers, the environment and atmosphere is extremely laid back but sophisticated, friendly easy and relaxed, and above all the food is LITERALLY?? every time i go, the best thing i have ever eaten in my life. like my head rolls back and i start hitting the table. every single time i go i cry a little and im not even joking in the slightest. it’s not too hard of a rez either. GO!!!!!!!!!
