Every single ceviche on the menu of this 12-seat counter is citrus gold. Especially the mixto, a gloriously perfect blend of peppers, lime juice, and a variety of rotating sea creatures. Ask for the medium spice level, which we’ve found to be the ideal balance of heat and citrus. When stone crab is in season or there’s Hokkaido uni available, the chef will go off-script and assemble a ceviche so remarkable, you’ll start to wonder about the 80% of the ocean that remains uncharted.

Miami is a shimmering ocean of tiramisu options, but this is our easy favorite. It’s got all the quintessential flavors of a tiramisu, but it also has something those others don’t: texture. That’s thanks to the layers of Pavesini biscuits instead of soaked ladyfingers. You can ask for a glass of the same amaro they use to soak those biscuits. We did that once, and it’s our happiest dessert memory. Reservations go live on Resy at noon 30 days in advance.

On the shelves of B&M Market, you’ll find a row of mason jars filled with a crimson liquid dotted with pepper seeds. The unnamed Caribbean pepper sauce is made and bottled in-house by B&M’s chef. It is her own proprietary blend and it is an addictively painful masterpiece. It’s just as flavorful as it is spicy (and it is very spicy). There’s a quick slap of heat up front followed by a savory burn that lingers for a few moments before you inevitably spoon more of it over whatever you’re eating.

Georgian food does not come up a lot in conversations about eating in Miami. But it should be—especially when you’re around the northeasternmost part of Dade County. Georgian food includes some wonderful things like kebabs, herbaceous stews and soups, garlicky walnut dip, enormous dumplings, cheese-stuffed bread, and incredible wine. Here are some good Georgian restaurants in Miami (featuring one Broward spot just over the county line).

Carlos C OlaecheaAntojitos Mexicanos Tenorio is a casual Mexican restaurant in a Kendall strip mall. They have an actual vertical spit to make tacos al pastor the right way, and they are excellent: a deep sunset red in color from achiote, just a little smokey, and with a good balance of crunchy charred bits and rich juicy pieces. The carnitas tacos aren’t far behind and feature confit pork that pulls apart with zero resistance.

Carlos C OlaecheaNoor is a bakery in Fort Lauderdale specializing in mana’eesh—thin flatbreads with topping combinations like zaatar, cheese, vegetables, and sausage. They have a handful of tables inside and a few outside, but this is mostly a takeout spot. While you wait for your order, you can watch them stretch the delicate discs of dough and add toppings before passing them through a conveyor belt pizza oven. You could easily inhale a couple of these for lunch or a late breakfast.

Carlos C OlaecheaWhen the sun sets, Lima’s streets start to fill with the spicy aroma of grilled beef heart skewers called anticuchos. This Afro-Peruvian specialty is perhaps the definitive late-night snack of Lima, and while there are many restaurants that feature anticuchos on their menu, few of them have gone to the effort of bringing over a traditional anticucho grill from Lima like this place has.

Carlos C OlaecheaYou shouldn’t have to choose between taking out a loan or gambling with your intestinal tract when it comes to having raw fish. Ceviche Dozo in Hollywood is just the place for a very affordable (most dishes hover around $10) Japanese meal that doesn’t skimp on quality, as well as a couple of Nikkei dishes, like ceviche (hence the name) and lomo saltado donburi.

Carlos C OlaecheaDon Rodone specializes in the best affordable ceviche in South Florida. The Peruvian chef behind this small cevichery got his start with a stall at Yellow Green Farmers Market just down the street before opening up his own permanent location walking distance from TY Park. The menu is limited, and includes a mean lomo saltado and a couple other dishes. But the ceviche is the star.

Carlos C OlaecheaRanchito Mi Peru 2 is a true huarique in Miami - a typical restaurant serving hearty, homestyle dishes. These are typically the most affordable places to eats in Lima, but they’re still popular with every social class. Weekends are the best time to come here for beloved but hard-to-find traditional dishes. Saturday is when they serve the excellent Afro-Peruvian dish called chanfainita, a stew of chopped cow lung with diced potatoes in a spicy ají panca sauce.
