AT A GLANCE

The property

Madre has quickly become one of Brooklyn’s most talked-about culinary destinations.

Chef Bryan Noury has created something truly distinctive with this seafood-focused restaurant that draws inspiration from coastal Mediterranean cuisines while maintaining a distinctly Brooklyn sensibility. The menu revolves around impeccably sourced fish and shellfish, with standout dishes like their whole grilled porgy with salsa verde, octopus with romesco sauce, and seafood-studded paella that rivals versions you’d find in Valencia.

What makes Madre particularly compelling is its effortless elegance – the space feels both refined and relaxed, with warm lighting, natural materials, and a gorgeous marble bar that’s perfect for solo dining or pre-dinner drinks. The wine program deserves special mention for its thoughtful selection of coastal European wines that perfectly complement the seafood-centric menu.

There’s something magical about the atmosphere at Madre – it manages to feel like a special occasion spot while maintaining the warmth and accessibility of a neighborhood restaurant. The service strikes that perfect balance between knowledgeable and unpretentious, guiding you through unfamiliar ingredients or preparations without a hint of condescension.

Whether you’re splurging on a seafood tower or simply enjoying a glass of vermentino and some small plates at the bar, Madre delivers an experience that feels both transporting and thoroughly rooted in Brooklyn’s vibrant dining culture.
