Traif’s tagline is Celebrating pork, shellfish, and globally inspired soul food. The restaurant’s devotion to unkosher food is a bit ironic given it’s proximity to the Hasidic population of Williamsburg, yet that doesn’t make the ambitious fare any less enticing. Go to town on dishes like buffalo-style frog legs and seared foie gras in the funky Brooklyn environs.
A young crowd populates this pork-focused American eatery in an older Williamsburg neighborhood. Based on 636 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.5 stars. Price $$

Tasting menu review : found this place watching videos online & its Banging. Make a reservation. $60 tasting menu? Yeah. This place is a flavor factory. Ate at the bar. If you’re tall, get a table. Yard seating is great too. Got the wine pairing, would recommend but not memorable… like the rest of the food. Thanks Traif

One of our favourite meals on a 3 week road trip. Beautiful setting, we sat outside but then moved inside due to the rain. We had the tasting menu, amazing value & food – every course was different and exciting. Everything was perfect!!

We haven’t been here for few years since Covid. Had a family dinner of 6 people. We all ordered tasting menu. Food came fast. Very good presentation. Each food was beautiful and delicious. Loved the duck. It was so tender and melting in mouse. 2 hours later still have that delicious aftertastes. At the end we had 2 types of desserts; key lime pie and doughnuts. Key lime pie was my favorite. I never liked key lime pie, but this one I would have everyday. Had a very nice tasting menu experience. This is what I call “Modern America Food”.

Many have already said that 10 courses for $55 is really good and I can only agree The food is no frills, simply delicious modern American cuisine! Each course was a small taste of their menu in perfect portions. Each one delicious and definitely worth the price. The house cocktails were also delicious and well prepared. Service was attentive and in general swift.

Tucked into a less popular corner of Williamsburg, Traif’s story is that it’s owned by a Jewish couple who wanted create both kosher and un-kosher foods. We opted for the $56/pp tasting menu that came in sharing portions, and were not disappointed. There were no duds; every dish was interesting and different. And served in an unpretentious Brooklyn-esque setting. My favorites were the scallop risotto, romanesco salad and eggplant canape.

Hands down the best meal we had in NYC. Delicious 10 course meal at $55, incredible. No idea why this isn’t more popular- we didn’t have to queue or wait for a table on a Tuesday night. Service was lovely. Would highly recommend.

I tried Traif’s $56 10-course chef tasting menu and it’s totally worth it. The food was amazing, and you’ll leave full.

When my friend told me about this place, I couldn’t believe: 11 courses for $55? For NYC, it’s affordable. Fortunately, it’s true and it’s worth it. You should definitely come here for the “chef’s selection” to get the 11 tapa-style courses for only $55. It’s perfect for sharing and you can even get a wine pairing for $40 per person. The food is delicious, every single dish is perfect. The gnocchi was amazing… There is a great mix and match including meat, seafood, pasta and vegetables. The desserts are incredible. It’s like a fancy dinner without breaking the bank.
