Brunch at Fleur in Park Slope is a detour worth taking. Instead of the usual Eggs Benedict, here it’s all about dim sum—and it delivers.

The space is a stunner, with a sultry bar decked out in red velvet seats, marble tabletops, and moody lighting. The kitchen, led by chef Qingkui Feng (a master with over 40 years of experience), turns out delicate, flavor-packed plates that shine.

We kicked things off with impossibly crisp scallion pancakes, plump shrimp dumplings, pork-filled buns and roast duck breast worth lingering over. The dim sum lineup also includes crab roe soup dumplings, sticky rice shumai, and pork or chicken potstickers. A steaming bowl of tofu and tomato soup with mustard greens added a welcome hit of warmth.

Larger plates bring the same level of finesse. The Shanghai noodles have just the right amount of chew, tossed with tender beef and a deeply savory house sauce. Tangerine prawns, kissed with aged tangerine peel, hit the perfect balance of sweet and umami.

For dessert, the Osmanthus Panna Cotta—a silky coconut cream creation drizzled with osmanthus syrup and adorned with rose petals—ends things on an elegant note. Fleur makes the case for dim sum as a brunch essential.
