A new restaurant popped up practically overnight on Cortelyou Road, just west of Coney Island Avenue. Bistro 915 opened on Friday, and the little spot (which used to be a coffee shop) is already doing a pretty steady business made up largely of deliveries. There is space to dine in as well, but just a couple of tables.
The small menu is made up mostly of soups, sandwiches, and pasta, and it's pretty creative--and affordable, with an $8 burger that comes with a large portion of garlic and herb fries.
I tried a steak panini, which came mushrooms, caramelized onions, mozzarella, and a port wine sauce, and it was very tasty. Maybe it's not technically a panini, but it's a very good sandwich that I'm looking forward to having again. And the fries are killer.
Free delivery with a $10 minimum, and they say they'll deliver to a large area, between McDonald and Flatbush, Caton to Avenue H (but ask ahead to make sure they'll come to your area).
A big thanks to reader Jill for noticing it had opened! Has anyone else tried it yet?
