Wow. Great French-Algerian brunch restaurant! We ordered the Algerian Tchoutchouka and steak and eggs. They were very delicious! The ceramic pot and plates are super cute. You can buy them at their store next door as well. Good spot for brunch. Will come back.

Baba ganoush was delicious and Smokey. The teeny hummus was excellent and their homemade sourdough bread that went with it was very nice and moist. The salads and burger and fries were also enjoyed at the table. It's a limited menu but nice choices. Somewhat smaller space but it does get quite noisy in there as the conversation bounces all over the hardscapes. There's also a very cozy store attached that has nice rugs, pottery and other handmade goods

Did you know that you can get delicious Algerian food at @simplecafebrooklyn in Williamsburg, Brooklyn!? The cafe is super cute and minimalist with an airy, natural vibe. The tchoutchouka I had was surprisingly light and refreshing. Different from what I was expecting. It went so well with the bread. I loved the crepes! The texture is so light and airy and the dates, apricots, and honey added just the right amount of sweetness to it. I’m also obsessed with Algerian mint tea. I like my tea without sugar and it was such a nice closure to the meal. I felt comfortably full afterwards after eating a variety of food. They also have a small shop attached that sells nice home goods! Loved the experience 💕

The Simple cafe was phenomenal! Right off of the Williamsburg bridge, my friend, and I came across this very cute French Albanian cafe. Since it was quite cold, the day we visited we immediately got a cup of their fresh mint tea. It was a perfect touch to a cold afternoon. I ordered the beet salad and my friend, and I shared the trio of hummus, baba ghanoush, fresh red pepper dip, carrots and fresh bread. I would definitely visit here again. I love the atmosphere. It has big open windows, natural light pouring in and there is a lovely cute store. That also sells handmade goods. Definitely give this place a try.

Delicious food! Lovely vibe and hospitable staff. Between the beautiful decor and decadent flavors, Simple transports you to a place that feels like a mix of vacation and home. All of the bread is baked fresh and you can totally tell. I've never enjoyed a burger bun so much. I topped the Simple burger with brie cheese and the flavor combination was heavenly. The fries were crispy and flavorful! 11/10 would recommend Simple for a tasty meal and delightful experience 😊 Thank you!

A little gem in Brooklyn. The name speaks for itself. Simple yet à totale escape! We were there for brunch and the food was divine. The baked eggs were amazing. The French toast was magical. Everything was fresh and tasty and we all loved the different dishes we ordered. The staff was extremely nice and attentive. The only downside is the size of the establishment, it is very small so it's safer to book if you're a group of 4+. I really like the owner's little boutique at the entrance. Cherry on the cake, you feel like you just left to Algeria for a moment. I definitely recommend and will go back to try the rest of the menu!

.. the place was a vibe. It was calm and relaxing and I food the food exceptional. It was nicely presented and served fresh and hot. I’d def eat here again. The waitress was also very polite and warm in her mannerisms throughout. side note: the bacon was one of the finest pieces of bacon I’d ever eaten. It was crunchy and savory🤤

We recently visited this place the food was fine ! I especially liked the sauced beets with labneh. We ordered a steak, but it was kind of chewy. The waitress was cute, but honestly, the service wasn’t great — we had to wait quite a while to be seated, took a bit time to bring our food . It was also pretty cold inside because all the windows were open. But I liked the atmosphere stylish and cozy.

we came for brunch and were really excited to try french-Algerian food, but we were really disappointed by the dishes we tried. a lot of us got the steak frites, and we all felt that the steak was lacking flavor/needed more salt and the fries were soggy. similarly, people who got the burger felt the same way that it was under seasoned. With french food, it doesn’t necessarily need a lot of different seasonings, but that means the quality of the ingredients need to shine, which we didn’t feel was the case.

tried simple today + honestly left annoyed. $24 for a chicken cutlet that was way overly fried, improperly salted, and served completely plain — no sides, no garnish, just a sad little wedge of lemon. it tasted greasy, harsh, + borderline gross. felt like something i could have done better at home with frozen chicken patty. i know it’s a first world problem, but paying that much + leaving with such an unpleasant taste really disappointed me. the restaurant looks nice, but now i get why it was empty. looks aren’t everything. definitely won’t be back. edit: please learn how to take critique gracefully instead of clapping back passive aggressively. not everyone liking your food does not mean there is a lack of respect. also, my just bare chicken patties are actually flavorful, juicy, and enjoyable unlike the dry and greasy chicken supreme i had from you. and yes, obviously it is hand butchered since most chicken is. what is odd is that you justify the plain presentation and high price by blaming food cost. you also seem pretty pressed by criticism, so i will wish you a better mood too.
