Food in Ridgewood

A small Forest Avenue counter selling burek, the coiled pastry filled with meat, cheese or spinach, with house-made yoghurt to go with it. The name says pizza and there is no pizza. It has been a Forest Avenue fixture for years and it is only open in the middle of the day.

Daily 11am to 3pm. The narrow window is real, so check before you walk over

A family-run Mexico City kitchen on Seneca doing quesadillas on thick corn tortillas pressed in-house. Full table service rather than a counter, and it runs to 10pm most nights.

Tuesday to Saturday noon to 10pm, Sunday noon to 9pm. Closed Monday

A tiny luncheonette on Woodward done out in mid-century fittings, doing sandwiches and desserts made in-house. Five seats and a counter. It is shut Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thursday to Monday 11:30am to 7pm. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday
