Callao is a port city in Peru, part of the Lima metropolitan area, and home to a preponderance of Italians and Peruvians of Italian descent. It is Peru’s chief seaport, home to its fishing fleet and, by default, innumerable seafood restaurants.

CVI.CHE 105 brings bold Peruvian flavors to a dazzling settingWhen you think of Peruvian food, ceviche is what usually comes to mind. For that reason, CVI.CHE 105 takes its name from that national dish. But Peruvian cuisine, considered today the most inventive in Latin America, goes well beyond the citrus flavors of marinated seafood, as refreshing and healthy as that may be.

It is not a large place — maybe 14 tables — and that is part of its charm. Pascal’s on Ponce is an intimate, romantic space with quiet lighting and soft music, where the emphasis is on quality, not quantity. And that quality — the haute French cuisine of Chef Pascal Oudin — is unmatched anywhere else in the city. Since the year 2000, Oudon has been the Gables’ king of sophisticated French cooking, garnering a loyal clientele.

Adrift Mare, which just opened in October, is part of the reinvention of Miami as a vertical city. In the New Miami, it’s not just residences and offices that climb skyward. The entertainment and amenities have also gone vertical, from the bar Sugar on the 42nd floor rooftop of the East Hotel, to the score of hotel pools that are a half dozen floors above street level. Adding to this multilevel living, straight from the Hong Kong handbook, is the new Adrift Mare restaurant.
