No. 11 on that list
Worth it

  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

The quintessential DUMBO restaurant, AlMar brings together the worlds of modern, sun-soaked eateries and institutions for gastronomical ingenuity. Ever since AlMar opened its doors in 2011 they’ve been amassing a steady stream of loyal customers.

Often attracted by the charming setting, folks will agree it’s one of the best restaurants in DUMBO after trying the food. The Italian joint makes savory pasta that’ll put you in a food coma but if you come for lunch order the burger, trust me.

Made with wagyu beef, fontina cheese, and horseradish cream sauce between brioche buns you’ll want to go back and kiss the chef’s hands. Or you always have the option of brunch too. Who doesn’t love carbs to start your weekend off on the right foot?

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
