Chez Oskar is located in the heart of Fort Greene's restaurant row at 211 DeKalb Avenue. The restaurant is your standard French bistro with a large and appetizing brunch menu - full of brunch classics from eggs benedict to omelets to crepes. If you are looking for a place with reasonably priced brunch classics, this place may easily become your new brunch go-to location.
The restaurant is a bit dark as they typically use sunlight to provide lighting; however, on a dark day, it makes the spot a bit too dark for my liking. Others say that the darkness creates the right amount of ambiance. There is a large bar on one side of the restaurant that provides for a good waiting spot as you typically will wait to sit down. There's also a patio full of outside seating which makes this a very popular spot in the spring, summer, and early fall. The day that we were there, the hostess immediately informed us that their cash registers were down and so the service was going to be extra slow. A fair warning as the service did prove to be exceedingly slow. Our wait staff took 10 to 15 minutes to just take our order.
I settled on Eggs Norwegian - Eggs Benedict with salmon, which comes with potatoes and a small masculine salad (really just lettuce and vinaigrette dressing) for $8.50. The dish was good with a delightful flavors and a good portion of potatoes with rosemary seasoning that was a bit salty for my taste. The eggs themselves were cooked wonderfully and were still warm when I took my first bite. Justin got an omelet with House Cured Salmon, Dill, Capers & Ricotta Cheese for $9. A good combination of flavors but Justin felt the Salmon tasted a bit overcooked. Both dishes tasted as one might expect which makes this a reliable and must-try spot, especially for those who live in the area.
