About Us
About Miriam
Located at the bustling corner of 79 5th Ave in Brooklyn, NY, Miriam is more than just a restaurant; it is a celebration of food, family, and vibrant culture. We are proud to bring the warm hospitality and bold, authentic flavors of the Mediterranean straight to the heart of New York City.
Our Culinary Roots
The Mediterranean diet is famous for its fresh ingredients, but to us, it’s about the soul of the food. Our culinary philosophy is rooted in generations of tradition. We source the finest seasonal produce, premium olive oils, and rich, aromatic spices to recreate the comforting dishes we grew up loving. From our signature shakshuka that awakens the senses at brunch, to our slow-cooked lamb and fresh seafood at dinner, every recipe tells a story of the Mediterranean coast.
Community and Connection
In Mediterranean culture, the dining table is the center of life—a place where stories are told, laughter is shared, and memories are made. Named to honor the matriarchs who pass down these beautiful recipes through the generations, Miriam was built on the idea of genuine, welcoming hospitality.
We are incredibly proud to be a staple in our Brooklyn neighborhood. Whether you are a local regular grabbing a quick coffee and pastry, a family celebrating a milestone, or a visitor exploring NYC, we want you to feel like a guest in our own home. Our cozy, inviting atmosphere is the perfect backdrop for passing plates of hummus, clinking glasses of regional wine, and bonding over great food.
Join the Family
At Miriam, strangers become friends, and friends become family. We invite you to step away from the fast pace of the city, pull up a chair, and break bread with us.
