Profile

According to the owners, the name means “crazy” in Provençal dialect. More specifically, “someone who has a fairy in his head.” That might explain how they ended up in the never-never land of Williamsburg, but well done dishes like coq au vin, cassoulet, and tender sautéed calamari, not to mention the gentle prices, seem sane enough. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

The food was not well prepared or tasty. It could be that what I ordered was horrible, but never have I brought guests to a restaurant and had everyone in the party be disappointed with the food.

I love this place

Fada is a lot of fun. Great food at a very reasonable price, friendly service and great ambience. I have brought many friends here and they have all left saying they were looking forward to coming back. Great wine list too...Read More
