We believe in allowing our food—and the energy of our space—to tell a story.
Miriam Restaurant, the flagship that launched Chef Rafael Hasid’s New York venture, opened in Park Slope in 2005 and quickly became one of Brooklyn’s most loved Mediterranean restaurants. Known for its vibrant brunch, welcoming atmosphere, and consistently high-quality food, Miriam has grown into a collection of neighborhood restaurants across New York City—each rooted in the same philosophy: gather & share.
At Miriam, we offer a modern Mediterranean dining experience built around bold flavors, seasonal ingredients, and dishes designed for sharing. Our menus highlight fresh herbs, citrus, olive oil, warm spices, and bright, vegetable-forward cooking—paired with masterfully crafted cocktails, signature dishes, and a brunch and dinner menu that keeps guests coming back. Whether you’re joining us for a casual weekday meal, a lively weekend brunch, or a group dining experience, our food is designed to be enjoyed together.
Miriam is more than just a restaurant—it’s a space for connection. Our locations across NYC are known for their energetic yet approachable atmosphere, making them ideal for everything from everyday dining to private events, celebrations, and catering. With flexible menus, shareable formats, and a team focused on genuine hospitality, we create experiences that feel seamless, memorable, and worth returning to.
From Park Slope to each of our locations throughout New York City, Miriam continues to grow with the same intention it started with: delivering a Mediterranean restaurant experience that is vibrant, consistent, and built around bringing people together. Whether you’re dining in, hosting an event, or ordering catering, Miriam is a place to gather, share, and enjoy food that feels as good as it tastes.
