Little Owl

This charming neighborhood restaurant in the West Village is loved by locals, offering up bold Mediterranean cuisine with friendly yet professional service. Think: veal and root stew, Faroe Island salmon and the Little Owl's famous pork chop. It’s a go-to for special occasions or a romantic dinner out. Weekend brunch is a convivial affair, with outstanding classics like pancakes with New York maple syrup, poached eggs, and their gravy meatball sliders. The location is easy to spot because of the crowds taking photographs: the apartment building it's in was the façade shown on Friends.
