What I wrote thereFold it away

In a brunch world dominated by waffles and eggs, Rule of Thirds is a breath of fresh air. Styled after Izakaya restaurants (informal Japanese bars with light fare), the menu offers an exciting assortment of sharable plates like striped bass sashimi and cold somen noodles served with tomato dashi and red crab.

The term “Izakaya,” loosely translates to “stay-drink-place,” perfectly encapsulating the intention of this popular Brooklyn brunch spot.

Sticking with theme, my recommendation is to get the Japanese breakfast set (roasted bluefish, short grain rice, seasonal vegetables and velvety miso soup) and souffle pancake (fluffy hotcake, honey maple butter, sesame).

Unless you frequent Japan, there’s a high probability the souffle pancake is unlike anything you’ve ever tried before. Seriously, it’s my single-favorite Brooklyn brunch dish, don’t miss it.

Made with soufflé batter, these are unlike any other pancakes in NYC.

What I wrote thereFold it away

Rule of Thirds is a Japanese restaurant offering creative twists on classic dishes, like the cloud-like soufflé pancake. Made with soufflé batter, these are unlike any other pancakes in NYC. Cooked until golden brown and topped with honey maple butter and sesame seeds for a touch of sweetness and nuttiness, the real magic lies in the airy texture. It’s the kind of spot that.
