1111 Peruvian Bistro
1111 Peruvian Bistro ranks 3rd on the list of best Peruvian Restaurants in Miami. Diego Muoz, a former El Bulli employee and recognized as one of the world's most talented chefs, has created one of Miami's most intriguing new restaurants, 1111 Peruvian Bistro. Chef Muoz traveled around the world for work and inspiration. This inspiration manifests itself in the form of food that hints at his global perspective, mentors, and places he has lived. There is a distinct sense that 1111 Peruvian Bistro is proud to offer customers a dining experience rather than just food.
Despite the fact that 1111 Peruvian Bistro was created by a world-class Chef and Restauranteur, there is no hint of a stiff, formal dining atmosphere. The restaurant serves fine food without the formality of fine dining, while also providing the benefits of a casual and cozy atmosphere. On balmy Miami evenings, the airy interior opens perfectly to a terrace where diners can enjoy drinks and listen to music. The dining room has a great view of the open kitchen, which allows diners to see expertly trained chefs prepare the exquisite traditional and modern dishes that 1111 Peruvian Bistro is so proud of.
The menu features traditional Peruvian specialties like ceviche and anticuchos, but many of the dishes have a unique twist that breathes new life into old favorites. Ceviche Apaltado, which substitutes avocado for onions, is a unique twist on traditional ceviche ingredients. Asian and European infusions like jalea in lime juice and prune terrine add interesting twists. Desserts include the salivating, wonderfully descriptive "Lucuma Cassonade, chocolate sorbet, sesame nougatine," which is essentially a sweet sorbet with chocolate, nougat, and a fruit called Lucuma that is relatively unknown outside of Peru. This is one of the most favorite fruits, and if you haven't already tried the creamy, delicious Lucuma fruit, they highly recommend you try this dish.
