“Rated a Top 5 Newcomer by Zagat 2008, Pera
Mediterranean Brasserie brings an authentic taste of eastern Mediterranean
cuisine to Manhattan.
Pera derives its name from an elegant neighborhood in Istanbul that has served as the melting pot
for many cultures and cuisines since the 17th century. The executive chefs lead
a team of specialty cooks from Turkey
and are collaboratively introducing lesser known mezes and meat preparations to
a New York
audience. Pera features numerous mezes, specially prepared and marinated cuts
of grilled meats and seafood, traditional and modern Mediterranean side dishes
and regional breads baked a la minute. Signature mezes include warm hummus,
beef and bulgur tartare, mini shish trio of marinated lamb, harissa shrimp and
soujouk with fresh lavash and fresh baked pidettes (mini Turkish flatbreads)
topped with a choice of traditional options such as eggplant, ground beef and
soujouk (spiced Turkish sausage). The main courses focus on delicately marbled
grilled meats that are cooked on a 10-foot-long open flame grill. Guests can
choose from a variety of different cuts of lamb, beef and chicken, or opt for
the traditional chefs tasting menu featuring assorted successive servings of
house specialities.”
