This quaint restaurant serves, among other Peruvian specialties, ceviche for the soul, and it’s soaked in just the right amount of lemon juice. Be prepared to reach altiplano heights (even though it’s seafood) with the ceviche mixto, a combination of tender pink shrimp, fresh fish, succulent octopus, and savory squid that rests on a bed […]

Coral Gables mainstay Fiola is a beautiful fine-dining experience with classic Italian fare in Coral Gables. A spinoff of Chef Fabio Trabocchi’s Michelin-starred spot in D.C., the Coral Gables Fiola boasts a Michelin recommendation, and after one meal there curated by executive chef Daniel Ganem, it’ll be obvious why. Though anchored in rich tradition and […]
Like the West Coast’s renowned family-owned In-N-Out Burger chain, East Coast eatery Five Guys (whose original family-owned restaurant opened in 1986, nearly 40 years after I-N-O) has retro 1950s décor and serves a limited specialized menu centering on hand-formed fresh – never frozen – burgers, and fries made from fresh potatoes. But there are differences, […]
A glance around the grand 6,700-square-foot restaurant confirms beef is the main attraction here: prime, corn-fed, USDA, aged up to four weeks, cut into portions, salted and peppered, and broiled at 1,600 degrees.

The fare at the Biltmore’s lesser recognized Fontana consists of melodies simpler than those found at the signature Palme d’Or. The emphasis here is on fine-tuning Italian staples that have been passed from generation to generation: bruschetta, lasagna, chicken with sausages, and broccolini. It’s common Italian/Mediterranean fare that’s handled with an uncommon finesse. À la […]
This northern outpost of two-decades-old Peruvian restaurant El Francesco, renowned as one of Lima’s top seafood spots, fills a niche — change “niche” to “humongous hole” — left gaping by Miami’s other Peruvian eateries, tasty though the food at some of these luncheonette-looking places may be. Namely it’s upscale. The food’s a dress-up version of […]
Frenchie’s is a petite Coral Gables restaurant where the menu is squiggled in different colors on a chalkboard that fills one wall. At this 50-seat spot, some porcelain dishes are white; others are adorned with blue florals, gray patterns, and gold trim. Many spoons have light-pink handles; others are just stainless steel. Black-and-white floor tiles, […]
Fritz & Franz Bierhaus serves traditional German and Austrian fare in a convivial sports bar. Schnitzels are superior. So are sausages, available as entr

With sleek wood-paneled walls and mood lighting (including candles on the tables), this diner bears little visual resemblance to the homespun, railroad-car classic model. But traditional diner dishes — lightened up but just as all American as the originals — are indeed offered here, as well as more modern fare. Comfort-food fans will find satisfaction […]
The neighborhood watering hole offers affordable drinks, a stocked jukebox, and the proper barstool pastime — darts. Occasional bands play live and Wednesday night is ladies’ night.
