Runner & Stone

Face it! You are going to fill up on bread and butter cuz it is seriously sexy stuff! The wines are delicious, duck pastrami , lamb mergez, orrechiette with broccoli rabe and sausage were amazing...

Best croissants aux Amandes in NYC. All other pastries are great too as is the bread . Lunch sandwiches rule as does the spicy hummus .

Do a double take when you look at the cement block walls. They are actually plaster in flour sacks. Very inventive sustainably designed space. Great americano , service, and roasted squash salad .

The food was superb, but not only that. They serve one of the best bread in NYC. I remember my childhood trading it! Servers and manager are super nice.

Duck "reuben " was tasty; I will definitely be back to try some of their other fun sandwiches . And do check out the wall, subtle but cool!

Amazing appetizer of ricotta and hen of woods mushrooms , tender and flavorful steak and delicious orechiette with sausage . Lovely, quiet place to have a good conversation. And great service!

New. They serve pastries , hard cider bread , and vanilla rum syrup-soaked croissants filled with almond cream worked up by Per Se's former head baker (Peter Endriss ). Read more

Not just a bakery . They make everything here and it's all REALLY good. We got beet salad , duck pastrami (how did they get duck to taste like pastrami ?) chicken (yum!) and ice cream sandwich .

The croissants baked at Runner & Stone are the best I've tasted outside of France and Montreal. Yes, better than Bien Cuit, for you Brooklynites. If only they delivered them to coffee shops near me!

Fantastic bread/soup. Extremely well cooked steak , pear tiramisu amazing. A lot of modernist techniques without being in your face about it. The spaghetti sucks, noodles are like ramen and undersalted

Chicken with buckwheat dumplings and mushroom broth ? Simple, tasty and incredible. So satisfying on a cold winter night.

The food is fantastic, and the hospitality can't be beat. If I had to pick an item to recommend, go with the fried chicken . But, honestly, you can't go wrong. Enjoy!

Peter Endriss 's breads and pastries are some of the best. It's a family business run and owned by Peter and his cousin Chris, the chef .

Duck Pastrami and Fried Brussels Sprouts were our favorite things—even the mustard was exceptionally delicious. And, of course, the breads .

Best almond croissant ! Try the buckwheat canelés too, and anything except the non-dairy espresso drinks .

the bread is the headliner, it's wonderful. the mackerel báhn mi is bold & gratifying (to those fish loving scandihoovians)... but the coffee here is quite bad and the music is godawful.

Nice gem in Gowanus area. Very good pastries and bread . Nice chill vibe.

From Serious Eats: "Runner and Stone in Gowanus has made a name for itself with its superb breads . But its canelés , only available on weekends, are just as worth a trip." Read more

I had the nettle gnocchi with the duck sausage . Absolutely fantastic. My boyfriend had the fish of the day, and gave it a thumbs up.

Ever order chicken at a really fancy restaurant , and at first you think it's a lame order and then you eat it and discover how amazing chicken can be? This is like that. A bargain at twice the price.

It was my first time here. I had the Italian sausage on semolina roll it was absolutely delicious. Great food and service

The croissants are amazing. Some of the best in ny. Iced coffee is not great though, sick to espresso drinks which are top notch.

Best fresh pastries in the neighborhood .

Beautiful, cozy restaurant with awesome service and amazing food!

Any baked good here from breads to pastries are a must. Seriously good stuff.

The breakfast sandwich steals the show thanks to its unique tomato jam . A rustic take on a favorite—must-try!

Ham & cheese croissant is delicious. Not a ton of filling but a perfectly flakey croissant .

Good little cafe with great bread .

Anything with their house made mustard , like a pretzel or the duck pastrami . Or just eat the mustard on its own.

AM tip: get a pastry . It's hard to go wrong, though the financiers are a special treat. Coffee is ok, and better than the espresso .

The light in this space is gorgeous. It's like being in heaven while eating pastries .

NYMag 2014 Food & Drink Issue: "It's perfectly acceptable—inspired, even—to treat this friendly Brooklyn bistro as your local boulangerie."

We love the bread and enjoy the pastries here, though the full menu doesn't quite measure up.

Amazing baked goods . Get the chicken entree , risotto , amazing ginger carrots . Brownie dessert is perfection.

Great breads , seasonal ingredients from local markets , and a smart wine list .

Braided Ravioli , Grilled Rib-Eye w/ Kale Chimichurri , and Grilled Black Sea Bass was delicious.

The duck sandwich is amazing

food is amazing. had the mackerel on their buckwheat baguette . different and flavorful. coffee could be better though.

Where else can you find Mackerel on the lunch menu ? Delish! Also the breads and pastries look awesome!

Everything is good here.

I love the Gowanas, Sweet and salty, perfect! Wonderful , friendly Southern Bartender !

Lovely place but a bit pricey for what you get. Best thing we tried was the house-made malted barley ice cream .

Roast chicken with mushroom broth . Do it.

This place is beautiful! Do yourself a favor and stop in, grab a coffee and some pastries .

great homemade pastries in the AM

The almond croissant is unique and worth a try

This is how you do a almond croissant . Amazing.

One of the most delicious, flaky pain au chocolat I've ever tasted.

Very accommodating staff . Loved the potato hash .

Had the eggs & hashed Browns and it was pretty good.
