DensDecember 16, 2015Splitty-split on the burger and one of the pastas (spicy sausage!) is the way to go. One of the best casual lunch spots in the hood IMHOUpvoted 4 weeks ago
Let me introduce Bronte to you. He will be your best friend for 10 minutes. Best 'different' burger so far. The pasta has no chance after this burger, but is good, too. I tried 'roasted vegetable'.
Vinti BhatnagarDecember 7, 2014Great for brunch (until 1 pm) with a ton of veg options. While the green eggs dish isn't filling, the kale is out of this world with its subtly sweet taste. 👌
The Bronte Burger is freakin' amazing. It's messy, and a bit unorthodox, but so delicious. The truffle fries bring it to new heights. Bonus: Australian accents.
- If I ever get in to the restaurant game I'd want my restaurant to be a carbon copy of Rubys. Everything about this place is excellent. Well, everything apart from the shit hipsters that congregate.
Treat yo'self to this burger and truffle fries. Absolutely incredible! It's a lot of food, so go splitty splitty with the gluten free pasta dish. Use the truffle fries as leverage.
Andrei KryssovSeptember 14, 2015Although I did not have it (and regret it) the burger my friend got (and I tasted) was amazing. Get the side of Brussel sprouts as well. Thank me later.
dawn.in.newyorkNovember 10, 2015Bronte burger and creamy chicken pasta were our choice. Both were really delicious, but the burger was slightly overly sweet for me. And the wine glasses are funny and cute.
Adrian PhillipsNovember 28, 2017Brussels sprouts, sweet potato fries with sweet chili sauce and any of the burgers or chicken sandwiches are bloody fantastic. Wash it all down with a Cooper’s Pale Ale from South Australia.
I have never been disappointed here, either by service or food. Highly recommend any of the pastas or the breakfast bowl at brunch. They have an excellent outdoor seating setup for COVID, too!
Adam SpagnoloMay 4, 2015This is a cool little restaurant with a garage door that opens up to the street. The crispy chicken salad is delicious. Ask for one of the two tables along the garage door and closest to the street.
AmateurConciergeJuly 29, 2015what tourists want in "soho": a cool crowd in a unique hole in the wall with healthy options that feels like a hidden gem. Unfortunately the teams ingredients aren't always fresh & waits can be looong
Worth noting that they have delicious Gluten Free breads and pastas. You really can’t go wrong with anything you order, but I’d highly recommend the hash browns or fries & the breakfast egg sandwich.
Bronte burger is amazing. Added bacon of course. Creamy chicken pasta is delicious. Nice cozy spot.
Nicole FormicaAugust 16, 2017BRONTE burger. Hands down. No question. Also get a side of fries.. which is served with truffle aioli 😍
Everything is good. Can't go wrong. Go at an off peak hour so you can enjoy.
Bayan BamukhayyarJanuary 6, 2022Passion fruit granola bowl, green eggs, penne a La vodka, and ricotta hot cakes are amazing. Love that they serve their full menu all day, perfect place for all day dining.
Dan DarouvarSeptember 12, 2016This is a great breakfast/brunch spot! I love the big, floor to ceiling windows and the seating next to those. Perfect for people watching :). They serve delicious, imaginative salads.- dawn.in.newyorkFebruary 23, 2016Pasta dishes were great, but a side dish of sweet potato fries w/ sweet chili sauce & sour cream was actually the best.
That GirlFebruary 27, 2016Always packed but quieter if you do an early dinner. Pastas have interesting flavors without being obnoxious. Portion sizes are perfect.
All of the burgers are unique (the meat and the bun are...more Australian) and tasty. The real lunch winner is the chicken avo salad. Light and well-dressed, just like your favorite startup employee.
Tiny place but amazing food. Panini was great, jealous I didn't get pasta or burger though. Try an Australian beer!
Luke PackFebruary 8, 2019I tried the cheeseburger and it was awesome. The fries cost extra and were nice and crispy. Cozy place and can get packed on Friday and weekends. The portion sizes are small. Great service.
Gauri ManglikMarch 27, 2012Really like this place. It's super super small but can always manage to get seats. Salads and pasta are both awesome. Apparently the burgers here are great too cc @xy (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Every single thing on the menu is delicious! From their creative salads, to pasta dishes and their infamous burgers, you can't go wrong! Such a fun atmosphere and friendly waiters. My favorite spot!
Serious EatsAugust 25, 2011Their Aussie-style Whaleys burger made with a meatloaf-y patty topped with beets, pineapple, and a runny fried egg may not be anything like a typical American burger, but it's still tasty. Read more
HolidayJuly 16, 2017I've enjoyed watching this location expand over the years. Food & service are incredible. Pasta, burgers are gluten free by request. Coffee counter culture. Casual, fast, top quality, worth the wait!
Amazing food - bronte burger, truffle fries, chicken avo salad, quinoa bowl. Good music too 👏
One of my favorite hearty salads in Soho is the roast vegetable salad with roast pumpkin, peppers, goat cheese, pine nuts, and arugula.
AnnaDecember 7, 2019Spicy Italian sausage pasta is delicious! Chocolate desert is sweet and nice, but better to share or take a half to go :)
Alexis BendjouiaJune 10, 2015Awesome spot. Farro and haloumi salad. Brussels sprouts are a MUST. Bronte burger is hardcore but pretty awesome if you're really hungry
Hip & hot scene, good looking & tasting food, & great service. Small space & nearly impossible not to wait during any given day's brunch/dinner hours. Fun Aussie drink selection; no liquor.
HKAugust 18, 2020Totally recommend it. The food and the service both are good. We got the kale salad and bronte burger both good. The watermelon juice wasn’t that good as i expect.
Kate FurmanJuly 18, 2016A wide variety of healthy options, including the quinoa bowl and shrimp and avocado salad. Bronte burger is also delicious, if you're feeling unhealthy.
Kayleigh HarringtonMarch 13, 2017Excellent sweet potato fries with sour cream and sweet chili. Always a fun vibe, sometimes a long wait.
Danielle BrizelOctober 3, 2016The classic cheeseburger and the lamb ragu pasta are my favorites so far. Very reasonable spot for the neighborhood. Maybe that's why it's always so packed.
Grayson Squire WhitehouseDecember 21, 2017one of my go-to spots for a delicious meal any time of day or night. cozy, friendly, healthy (as well as delicious) and also inexpensive
Anechka M.July 27, 2018Best sandwich in your life - Bronte burger! They have amazing salads and pasta as well and also reasonable pricing and excellent service.
Güldane Karslıoğlu YeniJune 29, 2018French fries with canoli oil, bowls and salads are wonderful. Crunchy chicken salad is on the picture.
- The breakfast bowl, avocado toast, and bacon is divine 🍳
ÖzgünJanuary 8, 2018Bronte burger and fries! I didn’t want to forget it’s name so I’m leaving a comment here. Unforgettable!
Yoav HornungFebruary 13, 2017My top burger choice in NYC! Bronte is a must for first timers, classic cheeseburger is epic and the fries are from another planet.
JessAugust 5, 2018Love their burgers. 2 thin patties, potato bun, cheese melty. Not the kind of burger that’s too hard to open your mouth to eat. Spicy rigatoni also good.
get the bronte burger with the sweet chili sauce on the side. oh, and an order of truffle fries too!
Amanda MillerJuly 16, 2016Everything at this place is amazing - the bronte burger, the creamy chicken pasta, the salads, the juices - and reasonably priced. Amazing place
Joan ParkJune 26, 2015the biggest chunk of ground beef on a burger. get the bronte for the sweet chili kick with a side of thin crispy fries.
