The Top 100 Places to Eat and Drink Near Farolito Peruvian Cuisine
-
Rank 1. The Gibson Room
American
A black-walled room lit by candles and a glowing bar forms an unlikely stage for Michael Beltran's uncompromising cooking. Anchovy mousse fills the Caesar croutons; handmade agnolotti cradle venison bolognese; the schnitzel arrives plate-wide with salsa verde and a fried egg. The menu refuses easy categorization, and so does the place itself.

Rank 3. Shingo
Sushi
Chef Shingo Akikuni commands a 14-seat counter in Coral Gables with the ease of someone orchestrating an intimate dinner, his knife work decisive and his rice vinegar sharp. Japanese fish arrives in uniform slices, barely adorned with nikiri, the menu shifting with the seasons—recent specials have included Aomori tuna and matsutake chawanmushi.

Rank 10. Zitz Sum
Asian
Pablo Zitzmann's dumpling pop-up evolved into this Coral Gables ground-floor restaurant, where a Colombian chef fearlessly blends Asian and Italian influences. Dishes like charred cabbage with Fresno chili butter and shrimp har gow with tamarind-black garlic chutney prove the cooking's gutsy originality.

Cuban
A booklined café tucked into Coral Gables where coffee and Cuban sandwiches anchor the mood. The patria—their version of the Cubano, layered with pork, ham, mustard, and pickle—arrives pressed and golden; deep-fried croquetas and guava pastries complete the picture. Midcentury furniture and palm-shaded tables give the place a lived-in ease that suits its unpretentious charm.

A narrow storefront in Little Havana wrapped in emerald tile and brass, where a perpetual line waits for Cuban sandwiches built on house-made bread around week-marinated pork. The lechon—shredded meat dressed in garlic-cilantro aïoli—arrives heavier but no less compelling than its grilled counterpart.

Rank 38. Bachour
Bakery
An industrial space framed by a rose arch opens into Chef Antonio Bachour's bakery theater, where counter seating faces the glass-enclosed kitchen. Jewel-toned macarons, pistachio-striped croissants, and flan-filled confections that mimic fruit sit beside crab tostones and croquettes—a studied balance between lunch and dessert.

Cuban
A spare storefront in Coconut Grove where Chef Michael Beltran drives a Cuban kitchen at breakneck pace, all dangling plants and crowded booths. The oxtail ajiaco arrives deep and restorative; sandwiches tower on pillowy Cuban bread; pastelitos with guava and cream cheese flake apart warm in your hands. Speed and care don't usually coexist, but they do here.

Rank 46. Los Félix
Mexican
In a Coconut Grove dining room of natural materials and careful acoustics, Chef Sebastian Vargas builds Mexican cuisine around heritage corn and local seafood—grouper from Key West grilled in banana leaf with hazelnut emulsion, corn cake with crab and charred plantains. Restraint and ingredient quality are the points.

Contemporary Japanese
Pedro and Katherine Mederos return with a menu that marries Japanese sensibility to contemporary technique—foie toast on rye gives way to bone marrow panna cotta with house-made coffee shoyu, goat cheese cavatelli in butternut squash, creamsicle ice cream. The cooking is unafraid of contrast, balancing risk with genuine approachability across tasting menus and a la carte alike.

Easy to miss on a Little Havana corner, this cramped Thai kitchen runs without reservations but with impressive velocity. Chef Veenuthri Trisransri moves between Northern specialties and accessible standards—crispy or steamed dumplings, a silken khao soi—with the confidence of someone who doesn't need to announce herself.

A husband-and-husband team runs this Vietnamese supper club near downtown with no pretense and plenty of verve: fish sauce caramel wings, lamb lettuce wraps, tamarind pork ribs designed for fingers rather than forks, and a cashew cheesecake with passionfruit. There's a hidden karaoke machine too. Come as you are.

Pizza
Dark wood and emerald walls create a sultry cocoon inside the Elser Hotel's ViceVersa, where Neapolitan pizza shares billing with raw bar selections—royal red shrimp with cherry bomb relish, boldly seasoned Italian appetizers—and an affogato martini that collapses the boundary between dessert and drink.

In Coral Gables, Daniel's Miami strips the steakhouse down to craft and restraint, trading grandeur for the clarity of dry-aged beef and Florida's own vegetables. Thomas Angelo's vision feels grounded in place rather than formula, a restaurant that knows when to stop talking and start listening.
-
Rank 97. L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon
Modern French
In Miami's Design District, L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon assembles its signature counter kitchen beneath rosewood and leather, where a bread basket arrives before seared scallops in cilantro broth give way to lamb in eggplant cups. The execution is precise, the plating theatrical, and the final chocolate sensation justifies the pilgrimage.
