All the expect brunch-ers agree: Mirriam hands down is a must-try, or rather, must-try-every-weekend sort of place. Conveniently located right off the 5th ave, close to Barclay’s center, yet far enough from the constant traffic of Flatbush ave. The Mediterranean decor is in it’s full glory - lamps with intricate metal work and multicolor glass, beautifully arranged flowers at the entrance and a large family-style table, which looks particularly inviting on summer afternoons, when the windows are wide open and sun beautifully lits up the space. The menu has a lot of brunch options, and of course, Israeli ones too - Israeli breakfast, labneh cheese, fried dough, burekas. Great food made this restaurant a local favorite, so do expect lines, or come at odd times.
