CVI.CHE 105 - Coral Gables — Restaurant in Coral Gables

Will return.

We had a reservation at this Peruvian seafood restaurant on Sunday but our friends got stranded in SoBe (South Beach).

Delicious food and wine, with good service. The decor is heavy. Is it inspired by the movie Avatar? Jungle, a bejeweled Elizabeth Taylor with heavy make up.

It’s 82 degree day in Miami, the outdoor section and the bar are wide open; the strong fans (yes kind of noisy…) blows enough cool air that I need a shawl.

The two art works on the wall at the bar remind me of Avatar. The decor is rather tacky and busy but the delicious wines and food, plus good service can certainly off set that.

Love their substantial utensil, but not the wine glasses – too thick. The bar counter doesn’t have hooks for handbags but the bartender is nice to bring me a stand, thanks.

We’ve four small plates

Crunchy corn (what’s the big fat corn) Cevichi classico: must have Anticucho filet: must have Acevichado: tuna roll, excellent Taco tartar: crunchy and creamy

The ceviche has two kinds of corn kernels: a regular sized one, they made it crunchy; and a creamy colored fat one, that became big after cooking, per the bar tender. Both are great.

The tuna roll: I usually eat the sushi rolls with soy sauce and wasabi. Recalling Mike Wagner (of Billions tv series) admonishing two young traders at a omakase counter for bathing their pieces in soy sauce (was it soy sauce?) … so … I braved the new world, ate it without any aid – it was delicious.

I think their cooking is a slight notch above Sixty Vines – both are great.

Who’s responsible to clean up in the bathroom: the patrons pick up after themselves or the restaurant?

A young staff came in the bathroom after me and said (I think), “let me clean than you take a photo.” I said (hope she understood my Chinglish as well) that … if a patron made a mess, maybe she should clean it up herself. … sometimes it’s the kid, she said (I think) But the kid is taught by their parents?

I don’t have an answer for it, but I do clean up...

On a recent visit to Coral Gables, Florida, I had the pleasure of dining at CVI.CHE 105, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. This Peruvian restaurant not only served some of the most authentic and delicious dishes I’ve had the pleasure of tasting but also captivated me with its excellent atmosphere and ambiance.

The creativity of the restaurant’s interior design was immediately apparent, offering a unique and welcoming environment that perfectly complemented the dining experience. The ambiance was vibrant yet comfortable, making it an ideal setting for both casual meals and special occasions.

The freshness of the seafood at CVI.CHE 105 was truly remarkable. Each dish showcased the natural flavors of the ingredients, with the ceviche standing out as a highlight of the meal. The ceviche was incredible, offering a perfect balance of acidity, spice, and freshness that left me wanting more. It was clear that the kitchen prioritizes quality, with every bite reflecting their commitment to excellence.

Located in a newer area of Coral Gables, CVI.CHE 105 adds to the charm and appeal of the neighborhood. It’s a gem that contributes to the culinary diversity of the Miami area, making it a must-visit for both locals and tourists alike.

CVI.CHE 105 has the best Peruvian food 🇵🇪 in Coral Gables. Located inside the Plaza complex; it’s a beautifully decorated restaurant that never disappoints. From the moment you step inside, the elegant and inviting ambiance sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. 🤩🤩

Start your meal with an appetizer of any of their signature ceviches. Any of the different choices capture the essence of fresh and vibrant flavors. Another must-try are the pericholis; a crispy rice cake topped with tuna tartar - their delicious taste will leave you craving more.

When it comes to traditional dishes, you can’t go wrong with the lomo saltado or the ají de gallina, both executed to perfection. The mar y tierra dish is a standout, featuring linguini pasta with huancaina sauce paired with succulent steak and shrimp. 🥩🍤 For a unique twist, try the tacu tacu, which comes with a base of canary beans and is offered with either ají de gallina or lomo saltado.

End your meal on a sweet note with their delicious chocolate cake 🍰 or any of the traditional desserts with maracuya. Each dessert is a delightful conclusion to an exceptional meal.

The service we received from Gabriel (Gabe) was exceptional and possibly the best service I’ve received from a waiter in Miami. He took the time to thoroughly explain the dishes and was on top of all the details throughout our dining experience. 👍👍

CVI.CHE 105 is an amazing restaurant that is highly recommended. Every visit is a culinary delight, and I always find myself coming back for more. This is a five star restaurant all day! Highly recommended. Keep up the excellent...
