Oporto Cafe

Cafe, Portuguese

According to the owners of Oporto Cafe, 12 years of experience is something you can taste when you sample the traditional cooking that makes its way from the kitchen of a Portuguese chef, onto a hot plate, and into your mouth. With an emphasis on home-style quality, Oporto Cafe’s head chef Fernando Santos prepares authentic Portuguese and Brazilian lunch and dinner items and the staff know exactly which wine will pair nicely with your meal.

The Mighty

Bar, Pub, Restaurant, Pub Grub, Italian, Spanish

Every high-end, chic area needs an authentic gastro-pub, a place where you can go when you feel that a beer and sausage is more appropriate than an expensive Italian or Spanish restaurant. At The Mighty, that’s exactly what you’ll get: simple food that tastes amazing, and a plethora of bar drinks and locally brewed craft beers on tap. The Mighty is all about the craft beverages, great food, and excellent service. One of the most popular dishes is the roasted duck with Mulato Chili Rum Sauce and wild rice bacon stuffing… you’re mouth should be watering right about now.

Coming up on their 25th anniversary in Coral Way, Sushi Chef Japanese Restuarant is one of Miami’s hidden treasures.

Born in Japan, Enomoto traveled to Venezuela to cook for the Japanese Embassy and trained in classical French cooking in Paris, France. If you want to enjoy Miami’s best Japanese food, make your way to Sushi Chef on Coral Way where you’ll experience the authentic taste of fine Japanese dining.

Farolito Restaurant

Restaurant, Peruvian, Seafood

Speaking of hidden gems, Farolito’s is a small and casual place with friendly service and delicious Peruvian seafood. This is definitely the place to get a ceviche if you’re heading to the Gables. Try the Aji de Gallina with the Farolito Salad, or the corvina and shrimp ceviche, which will make local residents wonder how they’ve been coming to Coral Way for years without ever knowing that Farolito’s was quietly serving the best Peruvian food in town.
