Miriam
79 5th Ave (at Prospect Place)
“The flagship restaurant that launched Chef Rafael Hasid’s NY venture has been one of Park Slope’s most cherished and celebrated restaurants for almost two decades (est 2005).
At Miriam Restaurant the cuisine is uniquely, distinctly Israeli. Our menu is seasonal, and many of our ingredients come straight from Israel. Yet what exactly is Israeli cuisine? Truthfully, to enter the subject is not online entering a sea by food and feeling a sudden deepening. Unlike French, Chinese, Italian food, etc., one does not unfold the menu at Miriam with a set of associations firmly in the mind. In truth, there exists no single dish, no single style of preparation that one might call uniquely Israeli. And yet this lack of identity is its identity, its beauty.”
While at Miriam, be sure to try the Lil’ Cuke, Desert Rose, Dippin Plate, Lamb Shawarma, or the Chicken Schnitzel. Also They check out their Happy Hour Monday-Friday 4:00-6:00 PM.
