MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking

You have room for one more dish, right? It’s a question that will come up often at this sweet little diner in Crown Heights. Chef Jeremy Salamon takes inspiration (and the restaurant’s name) from his Hungarian grandmother for a delightfully casual but fine-tuned effort. With walls painted cupcake pink, the kitchen has a real talent for bread. The cheddar-flecked biscuit sandwich with speck is an explosive first bite thanks to an expertly fried egg. It’s a good start to any morning, while the confit tuna melt on a superb Pullman loaf hits the spot come afternoon. Yes, there are crepes — thin, delicate and none too sweet — but there’s also cheesecake, chocolate babka and toast smeared in whipped farmer’s cheese and topped with market tomatoes.
