Recommended by our hosts, Pera Mediterranean Brasserie lures you with a good spread, vibrant ambience and warm service.

The description of this place as a Mediteranean Brasserie conjured up images more of Western than Eastern Europe but I guess we should have been thinking about the South Coast of the Med! Excellent selection of Turkish/Greek/Lebanese dishes all freshly prepared, including grilled meats on...their charcoal barbecue in the open kitchen. Mezze were amazing.More

Visited on a NY Restaurant Week deal. $60 each for three courses and a drink. Lovely setting and nice service but unfortunately the food was nothing special. Something we could’ve got in our local Turkish restaurant for £10 and it would’ve been better.

Went for a business lunch with a group of six. Food was above average. My grilled octopus appetizer was delicious and the levantine seafood cake was decent, if a bit pricey for what i got. The beets on the base were the best part. While...not mediterranean, the folks who got the burger and fries raved about them. I snuck a fry and it was very good. Service was attentive and friendly. I would return.More

Looks like a cafe from outside but does have a luxurious interior. However food distinctly cafe standard and wine prices crazy. $50 minimum a bottle

We dined here tonight as a party of four and while I dropped ~$300 it was a three course meal. Service by Dar-- was outstanding through out the night. The kitchen helped her by being timely with every course. Appetizers were Hummus and Calamari, both...were outstanding, but I believe the Calamari may have been the best Calamari appetizer I've every had. Our mains were Gnocchi, Chicken Shashlik, Lamb Adana and I had the special of the night- Lamb Chops. All of the dishes were quite nice but the two Lamb dishes were outstanding. Deserts were Rice Pudding, Baklava, Sorbet and Chocolate Souffle and all four were quickly consumed. We'll eat here next time we are back in NYC.More

We went for a business diner, and it was not crowded, service seems to be ok, but the waiter was not able to get what we want, at the end we were not served what we ordered, we called the manager, and he was not...helpful either, food and especially service is below averageMore

…..very friendly. Great meze and the red wine went down a treat. Coming from an European, you done well. Thanks for hosting us.

We went before A Strange Loop, it's maybe a ten minute walk to the Lyceum Theater. We sat outside on the tented patio. We had a couple vegans with us and they were thrilled with the cuisine. We started with the Dip Trio and the...Fried Artichokes. I tried the seafood cake and liked it. Good for pre theater if you are on the east side of Broadway, or good for a pre train ride dinner out of Grand Central.More

Pera offers a very good Turkish-ish dining experience. We had the mezze platter, salad, lamb and chicken with Turkish wine. Everything we had was tasty and portions were ample. Despite being a very very busy evening, service was friendly and efficient.

Ambience was poor on the Saturday night we visited, almost empty. Food was average and reasonably priced. Staff attentive but almost over zealous, trying to take plates away when not yet finished. Would not rush back.

This is an excellent Turkish restaurant in Midtown. The food is excellent: I had the vegetable timbale and the dip trio, and both were quite good. Service was friendly.
