If you’re looking for a spot in South Brooklyn that feels like a trip to Europe without the expensive flight, you have to check out Gurman at 2402 Coney Island Ave. Located right in the Homecrest neighborhood, this family-owned restaurant is a total standout for anyone who loves authentic Russian, French, and Mediterranean cooking. The name actually means "Gourmand" in Russian—someone who takes great pleasure in food—and they definitely live up to it. It’s a warm, elegant space that manages to feel fancy enough for a date but comfortable enough for a casual Tuesday dinner.


The menu at Gurman is where they really shine. They focus on using the freshest ingredients to put together dishes that you just can't find at your average corner deli. People rave about their Salmon Tartare and the grilled Bronzini, but if you’re looking for something hearty and traditional, their meat entries are top-tier. Everything is plated beautifully, making it a great spot if you’re the type of person who likes to take a quick photo of your meal before diving in.


One of the best things about this place is the atmosphere, especially on the weekends. They have a main dining room that fits about 70 people and features live music, which turns a regular dinner into a real event. It’s a huge neighborhood favorite for hosting banquets and private parties—they even have a VIP private room if you’re looking to celebrate something special with a smaller group. It’s the kind of place where the owners are often around to make sure you’re being taken care of, which gives it that personal touch you don't get at bigger chains.

Gurman isn’t just a fantastic restaurant, it’s a place where tradition, memory, and genuine hospitality all live under one roof. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels timeless and intentional. There’s an old-school warmth to it, the kind that invites you to slow down, sit back, and actually enjoy the experience. No gimmicks, no rush, and just classic elegance done right. The atmosphere, ambiance are all top notch. I've been here many times for parties and family events.

The food is exceptional. Every dish feels deeply rooted in tradition, prepared with care, and packed with rich, comforting flavors. It’s the kind of cooking that respects the past and proves why certain recipes never go out of style. You can taste the craftsmanship in every bite.

What truly sets Gurman apart, though, is the music and Larry, the musician. His presence brings an authenticity that you simply can’t replicate. Larry and my dad grew up together in Bershad during the Soviet Union, knew my paternal grandparents, and has known my family for generations. That kind of connection adds real soul to the space. When Larry sings, it doesn’t feel like background music, it feels like history being shared. There’s something powerful about that continuity, about music coming from someone who carries decades of shared memories.

Gurman stands out because it feels real in every sense. Real food, real atmosphere, real people, and real history. It honors where it comes from while delivering an unforgettable experience today. Places like this are rare, and once you find one, you keep coming back. Straight-up classic. I will definetely be coming back.

I celebrated my big birthday in Gurman, and it was my first but certainly not the last time visiting this great, warm, friendly, delicious, joyful place!
In addition to the great food, great service, great atmosphere (thank you owner Mikhail and staff – sorry, I don’t remember all names), my event happened after New Year, and the restaurant was beautiful, with the holiday decorations. The Christmas/New Year tree worked as a great background for all our performances and photo sessions!
My personal admiration goes to the musician Larry – he was the real star of my event!
One more thing – Gurman is great to dance, not just sitting and eating. We had a blast!
My group was almost 30 people, and I think that most of us will consider Gurman for our future events!

We had a great time. The food was tasty, the service attentive. The live music was also good and played a variety of music from former USSR as well as American classics. We liked being in a private room, which gave us some quiet and allowed us to have a conversation. The private room holds up to 16 people.

This is a great small restaurant even though you can find places with fancier decor.
