Boutros Review – Mediterranean Food – Brooklyn, NY – NYC Restaurant Reviews | donuts4dinner.com

Dinner last night at Boutros, which we passed on our way to another restaurant but couldn’t resist once we read the menu! The first photo is of their version of a tiramisu, but I started with the Thistle and Smoke cocktail with mezcal, Cynar, lemon, and honey. Then we had the house bread with za’atar herbs. All of the small plates on the menu looked so good to us that we shared a bunch instead of ordering an entree: roasted beet hummus, labneh crudité with vegetables and za’atar, burrata with figs and hazelnut/vinegar spread, fried rice with beef sausage, Brussels sprouts, egg, and enoki mushrooms, and grilled octopus with potato puree. Then I tried every skewer on the menu: halloumi with bread crumbs and sumac, pork belly with chicharrón, beef with tahini, and chicken with harissa. Then I had two scoops of the homemade chocolate and vanilla ice cream while my friend had the tiramisu. Everything was GREAT. This is such a Brooklyn Heights/Cobble Hill gem, and I can’t wait to return!
