About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Innovative
Offering the freshest traditional Provencal dishes, FADA has been a Williamsburg staple since it opened in 2001. From the name of the restaurant (which loosely translates into "crazy" or as "someone with a fairy in their mind"), to the food, live music, and décor, FADA is completely infused with the owner’s native Marseilles roots.

A spacious but cozy main room with caramel tones and a Provencal garden provide the perfect setting for private events and a casual experience of Southern France in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

    Valentine’s dinner was not good at all. Boring squash soup, zuchini blossom fritters were good, but that was followed by dry boeuf bourguignon with an acidic and way too watery sauce, plus some flavourless sides, crème brûlée was ok. It was one of the classic bulk-cooked Vday menus that were just not worth the price. Shame, cause their usual menu looks pretty good.

    We sat down and no one even bothered to greet us, fill up our water, take any orders. We ended up leaving before anyone actually came to help us. Had dinner at Have & Meyer. Was amazing. Go there instead

    Mussels were good but could have benefitted from either fresh herbs or garlic

    We had a wonderful time at Fada, and I highly recommend it - the food was excellent, and our waiter, Eric, was outstanding! Can’t wait to go back!
