La Mar by Gastón Acurio

"This waterfront restaurant inside the Mandarin Oriental Hotel serves a menu filled with delectable ceviche options, including a ceviche olivo made with Spanish octopus, Peruvian cotija olives leche de tigre, and an intriguing combination of shaved fennel, crunchy bacon, and cured egg yolk. Another great option is the cebiche chalice, which blends grouper, shrimp, and octopus with choclo, cancha, onions, and a punchy, spicy rocoto leche de tigre." - Juliana Accioly

"Located on Brickell Key inside the swanky Mandarin Oriental, La Mar is Gaston Acurio’s lauded Peruvian restaurant that offers a combination of well-executed novo-Andean fare and Asian-Peruvian fusion dishes by executive chef Diego Oka. Diners will find classics like lomo saltado, local offerings like yellowtail snapper, and several ceviche options. Make sure to grab a table on its expansive patio for some of the best views of the Miami skyline in town." - Olee Fowler

"La Mar is a Peruvian restaurant on the mysterious millionaire island known as Brickell Key. The food—mostly ceviche and seafood—is always very good, but the waterfront view is the main draw of this place. It’s not a casual spot, but if you want to sit outside and stare at the Brickell skyline while you eat ceviche, anticucho, and sip pisco sours—this is where you want to be. They also do one of Miami's best brunch buffets every Sunday." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"La Mar is on the mysterious millionaire island known as Brickell Key. Their waterfront view is also pretty stellar—so good that it's almost not even worth coming here unless you can sit outside. And fittingly, most of the menu revolves around seafood. They have a whole bunch of ceviche and tiradito options, jalea, and plenty more Peruvian classics—including a tremendous lomo saltado. This is a hotel restaurant, so expect a slightly touristy crowd. Luckily the food is good enough to distract you from the vacationing businessmen punching away on his laptop at the bar. The Sunday brunch buffet here is also pretty special." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

In terms of food, you can't go wrong starting with the very good traditional Peruvian ceviche. They also make a great lomo saltado and have rotating anticucho options, including an excellent version with veal heart. This is a hotel restaurant, so expect a slightly touristy crowd.
