Miriam - Upper West Side 300 Amsterdam Avenue

Miriam Restaurant - 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 unlike entering a sea by foot 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.
