Prospect Heights' Skewer Bistro Snags Michelin Shout-Out

PROSPECT HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — A Prospect Heights eatery skewered itself a Michelin shout-out this week when it was named one of the best cheap eat spots in the city.

Maison Yaki — the French and Japanese restaurant that serves meat skewers and apps at 626 Vanderbilt Ave. — was added this week to the list of Michelin's 133 Bib Gourmand award winners across New York City.

"Guests will find a unique fusion of French and Japanese cuisine," the Michelin announcer read, and gave a tip-of-the hat to chef Greg Baxtrom and his Pommes Dauphine.

When Eater reviewed the new eatery in July, they lauded the delicious food at an affordable price (dishes all cost less than $10 and cocktails went for $9) but noted the very long wait for a reservation at the already-beloved restaurant.

"But the little secret," they added, "is that the kitchen serves the full menu out back."

The Prospect Heights spot was joined by six other Brooklyn restaurants.

Williamsburg got three of the borough's picks with Taiwanese restaurant Win Son, Hoxton hotel's Klein's and Ammazzacaffe's pasta-focused spot.

Park Slope's new Korean eatery, Haenyeo, also got a shout out, as did Chuan Tian Xia, a Sichuan eatery in Sunset Park. Rounding out the Brooklyn list was Downtown Brooklyn's Saint Julivert Fisherie.

The 29 new cheap eats also included eight Manhattan restaurants, three from Queens, one from Staten Island, one from the Bronx and several more from towns in Westchester.
