Part of Redwood Hospitality
Cafe Mado is a restaurant from Redwood Hospitality, the group behind Oxalis, Place des Fêtes, and Golden Ratio. Located on Washington Avenue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Cafe Mado reflects our passion for seasonal cooking, thoughtful hospitality, and creating spaces that bring people together.
Our name is inspired by the legendary Mado, the matron of the three-Michelin Star restaurant La Pyramide in Vienne, France. Known for her warmth, generosity, and unwavering dedication to hospitality, Mado helped define a style of dining rooted in care and conviviality. Cafe Mado carries that spirit forward, offering a restaurant that feels lively, welcoming, and rooted in its neighborhood.
Cafe Mado occupies an important place in our company’s history, opening in the very space where Oxalis earned its Michelin Star. As Oxalis moved into its next chapter, Cafe Mado was created to continue Redwood Hospitality’s commitment to exceptional dining while embracing a more relaxed and vibrant style of service.
Today, Cafe Mado offers full-service brunch and dinner, with a menu that highlights seasonal ingredients, thoughtful cooking, and a dynamic beverage program focused on wine and classic cocktails. As the weather warms, our back garden opens as an extension of the dining room, creating a lively outdoor setting for guests and staff alike.
Joining our team means becoming part of a group that values hospitality as both a craft and a culture. We seek individuals who are passionate about service, eager to learn, and excited to contribute to a collaborative and supportive environment. At Cafe Mado, you will have the opportunity to work alongside talented professionals, develop your skills, and help create memorable experiences for our guests and our community.
