In its heyday, during the Ottoman period, there was no cuisine as sophisticated as Turkish. Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent lived up to his moniker, employing over a thousand cooks to make the kebabs at his posh Topkapi Palace. Rated a Top 5 Newcomer by Zagat when first opened, Pera Brasserie brings an authentic taste of Eastern Mediterranean cuisine to Manhattan. “A no brainer” according to Zagat and a “solid bet for Mediterranean fare.” 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. Pera features numerous mezes, specially prepared and marinated cuts of grilled meats and seafood cooked on a 10-foot-long open flame grill.
