Peruvian cuisine is characterized by bright, fresh flavors (think smoky, yellow aji amarillo peppers and creamy purple potatoes) and a melting pot of cultural influences, including Spanish, Chinese and Japanese. The result: tasty classics, such as chaufa fried rice, juicy grilled meats and fresh ceviche. If you’re looking to get a taste of this and more, Greater Miami & Miami Beach is the place to be for exquisite, bona fide Peruvian food. Check out Miami’s excellent Peruvian restaurants, from classic and authentic to upscale with a modern twist.

CVI.CHE 105

With multiple locations across Miami, CVI.CHE 105 is a casual-yet-sleek eatery with a modern vibe. The brainchild of Lima-born chef Juan Chipoco, this Peruvian hot spot is a go-to for those craving some of the freshest ceviche in town, such as the chucuito made with the catch of the day, or scallops and octopus topped with crispy calamari in a smoky rocoto leche de tigre sauce. You’ll also find a variety of potato causas, fresh fish tiraditos, chaufa rice dishes and large sharing plates, like the combo caliente with octopus, grilled tenderloin, mixed fried fish and scallops.

INTI.Mo by Juan Chipoco

Juan Chipoco, chef at CVI.CHE 105, has further expanded his Peruvian restaurant empire with glitzy INTI.Mo by Juan Chipoco, set in the upscale South of Fifth neighborhood in South Beach. With a focus on Nikkei cuisine, the Japanese-Peruvian menu is made up of sushi and nigiri, fresh ceviche and larger seafood entrées, such as the branzino tostao with stir-fried veggies and the creamy seasonal seafood rice with plenty of flavorful salsa on top.

Pisco y Nazca Ceviche Gastrobar

Situated in Downtown Doral, Pisco y Nazca Ceviche Gastrobar serves up contemporary Peruvian cuisine in a stylish setting. Drawing inspiration from Peru’s famed ceviche eateries, Pisco y Nazca’s dining room features a lively bar with views into the open kitchen. The ceviche sampler paired with an expertly blended pisco sour is an excellent way to start before moving on to main dishes, like the classic lomo saltado wok-seared beef tenderloin and savory chaufa rice dishes.

Aromas del Peru

With multiple locations across Miami, Aromas del Peru celebrates the many influences of Peruvian cuisine, from Creole and African to Chinese, Spanish and Italian. With a commitment to high-quality ingredients, its menu ranges from sushi and ceviche to grilled items, pasta and fresh seafood. Signature dishes include shredded chicken aji de gallina and tacu tacu, which is a crispy blend of rice, beans and fried tortilla served with chicken or steak. You can find Aromas del Peru locations in Palmetto Bay, Coral Gables, Kendall, West Miami and South Miami.

Pollos & Jarras

Step into Pollos & Jarras and experience a festive ambiance with neon accent walls, paper lanterns suspended from the ceilings and a tasty menu that stars Chef Juan Chipoco’s ode to the Peruvian rotisserie chicken tradition. The rotisserie chicken can be ordered whole, half or quartered and is accompanied by fries, salad and a range of savory dipping sauces. The restaurant is also known for its juicy Peruvian barbecue and smoky meat dishes made in a wok and served with white or fried rice. Enjoy a unique dining experience at a Pollo & Jarras location in South Beach, Downtown Miami and the Aventura Mall.

Ceviche Lovers

With a name like Ceviche Lovers, guests can expect a menu celebrating bold Peruvian flavors and, of course, plenty of delicious ceviche. The South Miami restaurant offers a wide range of this raw fish favorite, including the Ceviche Bachiche, made with salmon, smoked bell pepper and basil aioli, and the signature crunchy ceviche bites served with classic aji amarillo and leche de tigre citrus sauces. You’ll also find Chinese and Japanese fusion favorites – such as aji egg rolls or pork belly bao buns – and even Peruvian Italian fare, such as the smoked aji amarillo shrimp risotto in a creamy parmesan white wine sauce.

Rinconcito Peruano

Rinconcito Peruano in Hialeah is a go-to for locals because of its casual atmosphere and authentic Peruvian food.
