Lido Harlem Restaurant

Lido Harlem Restaurant

Lido is Italian food with soul, and those who taste it, know it. Flooded with millennial energy and situated on Harlem’s see-and-be-seen Frederick Douglas Blvd strip, the eatery serves up delicious Italian-American comfort food, bottomless drinks, and a buzzing ambiance. A lower Harlem staple, Lido is loved for their highly-praised bubbly brunch menu, featuring buttermilk biscuits with chipotle honey butter, fluffy scrambled eggs, and french toast. It’s the perfect place to go for a birthday brunch or any other celebratory event with a large group of friends. The ambience is minimalist and charming yet entertaining, and has easily become a Harlem favorite.  We recommend the al fresco dining in warmer weather, where you can catch the eye of a passerby (and exchange numbers) while also feeling cozily sequestered. The lighting and the waitstaff always accommodate a bomb photo so make sure you take one. And don’t leave here without trying the gnocchi!
