Brunch West Village

[Carolro]

Looking for a place to have brunch in West Village, Meatpacking District, Chelsea.
I am taking a friend out for her 60th

August has a great brunch menu and the ambiance is great - very quaint/rustic. There's also a lovely outdoor seating area.

Perry St on a Sat is divine (Sunday is not). Great prix fixe menu, elegant and quiet... that would be my first choice.

Perilla on Jones St now serves brunch. I've only had dinner there, but it was great and I'm certainly looking forward for a chance to have brunch there. Definitely good for a special occasion. And they take reservations, though you might have to book a couple weeks in advance.
I would also second Wallse, where you can also get a reservation.

Thanks for the news! I found the menu online...

You should swing by Tartine, on W. 11th street and before the weather gets unbearably cold, opt to sit outside. On a sunny day, it's absolutely gorgeous---it's set right in the middle of one of the most quaint neighborhoods in the city. Do yourself a favor and get the croque monsieur. TIll this day, it's one of the best renditions of the grilled ham/cheese sandwich I've had...places in Paris included!

Good luck, and happy 60th to your friend!

Do they take reservations?

[erin07nyc]

I dont' think so - don't people usually line up there for dinner in the summer? And I think it's BYO.

[MMRuth]

That's what I thought - but wasn't sure - I'd be less likely to choose that for a birthday brunch, which is why I asked. Thanks!

Wallse might be a nice choice - I've only eaten dinner there, but I believe there have been some positive reviews of brunch there.

Wallse has a great brunch...we did my mother's 65th birthday brunch there last year.

Just the two of you? Any price range? I assume this will be for a Sunday? Does she have any favorite dishes?

[Carolro]

Just two of us. It will be on a Saturday.

[kathryn]

Saturday will be tougher to do. Cookshop (mentioned below) only does Sunday brunch. Jane, another close to West Village option, has a very limited Saturday brunch menu.

I assume you don't want somewhere that's too cozy or involves a lot of stairs or waiting?

I would try for Little Owl or Blue Ribbon Bakery.

How is brunch at Little Owl?

[kathryn]

Much less hectic than dinner; they don't have a liquor license, though, so no Bloody Marys. The atmosphere is bright and airy. I liked my tuna; my boyfriend loved the burger. The lemonade is fantastic.

[RCC]

Thanks. We've had a few dinners at LO, but now we look forward to having brunch as well.

[Carolro]

I called Cookshop and they said they do brunch on Saturday.

[kathryn]

That's news to me. They should update their web site!
