The Best Beets in Bay Ridge

This is perfect summer eating. I am floored by my latest meal at Bay Ridge’s Beets & Carrots, an unassuming food-first eatery with elevated standards. With one chef caring for all of the meals served, expect beautifully plated, flavor-packed dishes that make you forget you’re just a short walk away from home. Above, an amuse-bouche of beet and turnip.

Below, the Summertime Vegetables glazed with lemon confit and basil. This was vegetable perfection. I resented having to share it.

My beet burger was also, again, very satisfying. I might have ordered differently had I experienced the Summertime Vegetables before. They had a chalkboard of summer veggie plate options that I’ll have to return for.

But for now, a hearty and delicious end to yet another grueling day of teaching summer school. What was I thinking?!
