Pera Mediterranean Brasserie

Rated a Top 5 Newcomer by Zagat, Pera Mediterranean Brasserie is steps from Grand Central, Bryant Park, and Times Square. Named for the historic Istanbul neighborhood where cultures and cuisines have converged since the 17th century, Pera brings that same spirit to Midtown. The menu spans cold and warm mezes, specially marinated grilled meats and seafood, and regional breads baked to order — built for the table to share. Signature dishes include the Lamb Adana, sirloin steak frites, Mediterranean branzino, and chicken shashlik. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available. A full bar anchors a daily happy hour of meze and drinks, and the dining room is a natural home for a business lunch or a long evening with friends. Large parties are welcome — Pera regularly hosts groups and celebrations of all sizes. Online bookings available for groups as large as 14 guests. For larger group dining, private dining, special events and catering, please contact events@peranyc.com
