L'Antagoniste

L'Antagoniste Tasty farm-to-table French fare in the heart of beautiful Bedford-Stuyvesant. Outdoor dinning for Brunch and Dinner

At l'Antagoniste, we take a classical French approach to locally-sourced ingredients, dishing up French classics like Canard à l'Orange, Saumon Sorrel, and Steak Frites in a comfortable, neighborhood setting. The wines by the glass list changes at least once a week, and we offer an array of interesting domestic and imported beers. Finally, apart from the down-to-earth service, and excellent food,

we offer a wines by the bottle list that easily exceeds 150 bottles, starting at just $19.50. Whatever you're looking for, whether it's a grass-fed burger and a cool local beer, or a whole grilled fish with a fine 1er Cru Chablis, let us show you how Brooklyn does French at L'Antagoniste.
