Rotisserie Chicken Lunch in Prospect Lefferts Gardens
In the heart of Prospect Lefferts Gardens, our open rotisserie turns all day long. Our organic, free-range chicken is marinated for 72 hours with sea salt, black peppercorn, fresh parsley, rosemary, thyme and oregano, then slowly roasted until brown and crispy. That's why rotisserie chicken is the star of our lunch menu.
Chicken Platters, Sandwiches and Soups
Our most popular lunch plate is simple and generous: a quarter of our marinated chicken served with roasted potatoes, spicy cabbage salad and our housemade aioli. Hungrier, or sharing with colleagues? Our roasted chicken is also available on its own, from a quarter to a whole bird.
