Walk by Chez Ma Tante, and you have no reason to believe it’s any different from any other Brooklyn restaurant. It’s an all-white spot on a quiet corner in Greenpoint, with a long wood bar and a few tables outside. The lighting fixtures are nice, but there’s no other decor. It’s not empty, but it’s also not packed. The menu posted on the door includes a roast chicken and a caesar salad.
It all sounds boring as sh*t. But it’s not. And that’s because the food is fantastic.
While lots of restaurants try very hard to make interesting food and end up with dishes that look like edible versions of tchotchkes you’d buy in an overpriced design store, Chez Ma Tante is focuses on making straightforward food taste extremely good.
