Three new restaurants are set to open on Brooklyn’s Court Street before July 4. The additions include Bread and Bough, Lila Bistro, and Yamato Ramen.

Bread and Bough, a bakery focusing on sourdough and viennoiserie, opens June 21. The bakery occupies a former dry cleaner at the intersection of Court and Warren Streets. Owners Rachel Lin and Max Kim say the menu will feature daily breads, laminated pastries, and coffee.

Lila Bistro, opening June 27 at 233 Court Street, is the latest project from chef Anita Morales. The restaurant will offer an all-day menu with Mediterranean-inspired dishes. The space was most recently home to a florist that closed in March.

Yamato Ramen, led by chef Koji Sato, plans a July 2 opening at 299 Court Street. The 40-seat restaurant will serve tonkotsu ramen and small plates. This location was previously a hardware store that had operated for over 20 years.

Local business groups welcomed the openings, stating that Court Street has seen increased vacancies since 2020. The new restaurants join several existing eateries on the corridor between Atlantic Avenue and Carroll Street.
