The story

Place des Fêtes: Clinton Hill's Seasonal Restaurant & Wine Bar in Brooklyn, NYC

Place des Fêtes is a neighborhood wine bar and seasonal restaurant in the heart of Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, brought to life by Redwood Hospitality, the team behind Cafe Mado, Laurel Bakery, and Oxalis. The space centers on a carefully curated selection of natural wines from Spain and France, with a particular emphasis on the Catalan regions and southwest France.

The menu reflects the seasons with small plates and sustainable, seafood-forward dishes. It is shaped by simplicity, creativity, and close relationships with farmers and fisheries. Recent offerings include chilled plates like bangs island mussels en tinta, sardine toast with smoked butter and kosho, and big eye tuna with cashew and cucumber. Fermented and cultured options feature bien cuit sourdough with Spanish olive oil, Cantabrico anchovies, and Tempesta mortadella. Vegetable dishes range from crispy maitake mushroom with black garlic fudge to gem lettuce with sesame and yuzu kosho, and Ojibwe wild rice with morels and egg yolk. Mains such as campanelle with ramps and wild spinach, hake with koshihikari rice and sugar snap peas, and roasted poussin with romesco and spring onions round out the selection.

The wine list is a deep dive into the regions the team loves, with options by the glass and bottle spanning Txakolina, sherry, and skin-contact whites. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with walk-ins always welcome alongside reservations.

This commitment to quality and thoughtfully sourced, seasonal cooking earned Place des Fêtes a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026 — a fitting recognition for a restaurant that brings a genuine sense of place to the table.
