Brooklyn Larder, a carefully curated Park Slope fine foods shop, is gorgeous to behold. The place is operated by the same folks who run Franny’s, the popular Park Slope pizza spot.

At Brooklyn Larder, there are tantalizing displays of cheese, artfully arranged in a towering mound. There are garlicky ramps to take home (mine didn’t make it; I scarfed them down on the No. 2 train). Also, pastries, imported canned goods, not to mention their house-brand gelato, which is worth the trip alone.

But Brooklyn Larder’s stuff is really pricey. Only the sandwiches seem reasonable: Salami, Provolone & Hot Pickles for $8.50. 

Overall, Compared to Zabar’s on the Upper West Side, it’s no contest. At the venerable emporium, the eats are plentiful and delicious and the prices generally fair.

Here’s a sampling of some of Brooklyn Larder’s other offerings (their web site is under construction).

• 1/2 roast chicken $8.

• Meatballs with tomato sauce $17/lb

• Maccheroni & Cheese (yes, that’s how they spell it) $11/lb

• Egg Salad $8/lb
