Best Gastropub – The Dog and Duck

This place was the first ever gastropub in Sunnyside, and since opening last year, they’ve become a neighborhood staple.  The extensive menu effortlessly combines laid-back pub grub (BBQ Babyback Ribs, Fish and Chips, Ham and Leek Pie), with more elevated, fine-dining fare.  Start off your meal with the Mushroom a la Greque, topped with bacon, pine nuts, and shaved parmesan, followed by a terrific Pan-Fried Salmon Cake with ginger-sesame sauce, Pork Bangers with Scallion Mash and Red Wine Jus, or Scallops Gratines with Asparagus and Parsley Potatoes.  And don’t even think about leaving without ordering the Deep Fried Brie with Port Jelly.
