Bouquet — Restaurant in New York

This natural wine bar is nothing short of phenomenal. Truly—wow. It strikes that sweet spot of Greenpoint cool without crossing into pretentiousness. Imagine the ambiance of a cozy backyard hangout, but instead of subpar beverages, you’re savouring an exquisite glass of wine. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a laid-back, effortless vibe, with walls adorned by bottles that practically invite you to taste, and a staff that's more interested in guiding your palate than schooling it.

Now let’s talk about Eric, the owner. This guy has charisma in spades, the kind that makes you think, “Ah, this is what a bar owner should be like.” He’s got a depth of wine knowledge that would impress a sommelier, but he delivers it with a wink and a smile. After a brief chat about our tastes, he curated a selection that absolutely hit the mark. Nailed it.

But the real pièce de résistance? The outdoor space. It’s an urban oasis where the music plays at that perfect level—just enough to elevate the mood but never overshadow conversation. On select nights, there’s a DJ spinning the kind of tracks that make you feel like you’ve stumbled into a secret garden party. Eric also mentioned on occasion they have pop-up food vendors, which keep things fresh and exciting. This place is always full of delightful surprises.

Speaking of food, I have to shout out the smash burger. It’s the kind of burger that makes you want to order another, even when you're already full. Simply put—goddamn, it’s good. A must-try.

If I lived anywhere near this spot, I’d basically set up a cot in the back. Greenpoint residents are ridiculously fortunate to have a place like this as a local haunt. A wine bar that’s as stylish as it is unpretentious, ticking all the boxes with grace and ease.

Congratulations Eric. I’ll be counting the days until my next visit to NYC, because this is officially my...

Came with friends for food and drinks and had an absolutely awesome time. We were a large group so we ordered nearly everything on the menu. The calamari, schnitzel, and fries were all crispy and delicious. The burger was bomb. The cheese and charcuterie plate were insane, possibly the best cheese I’ve ever had. The tahini gem lettuce salad was also refreshing and delicious. We also tried a lot of different wine and everything we had was wonderful - I’m upset I didn’t take photos of the bottles because I want to go home and buy everything we drank. On top of the food and wine being above and beyond what we expected, the music was also great all night long, it was an eclectic mix that set the vibes for the perfect night. Overall 10/10, A++ experience and highly recommend everyone go there for any type of occasion. We can’t...

Bouquet Wine Bar is hands down my favorite spot in the neighborhood. The vibes are super chill, 10/10 atmosphere, honestly. The owner is so helpful, and everyone who works there gives the best recs, whether it’s for wine or food. You can tell they actually know and love what they're doing.

The food is amazing. I've had the zucchini sticks and the olive oil cake so far, and both were unreal. Every time I see dishes coming out to other tables, it just makes me want to come back and try everything. Seriously, it all looks so good.

I’ve had red, rosé, white, and orange wines here. I usually stick to red, but every single recommendation has been a hit. It’s the kind of place you go once and immediately start planning...
