Sabor A Peru is the type of place that you might stumble across unwittingly after a morning of shopping in Edgewater. It all starts with someone saying something along the lines of ‘Peruvian food sounds nice, let’s try it’. And so you do, learning shortly thereafter what a brilliant find you just discovered. One of their most popular dishes is the Cau Cau de Mariscos, a dish prepared with fresh chili, fresh seafood (squid, octopus, shrimp and mussels), potatoes, vegetables and aromatic mint that it gives a special touch. The menu is extensive and, yes of course, they have an amazing Peruvian Ceviche.
This is one for those who enjoy a restaurant with a homey atmosphere and excellent service. The space is dark and cozy, with playful touches like lighthearted comic strips decorating the walls. The founders of Bunbury recognized an opportunity to capitalize on a growing niche market that wasn’t being served in the Wynwood/Edgewater community, the need for a trendy little Argentinian American wine bar with good food. They’ve had immense success since their opening in 2014 and they are firmly committed to being THE chill spot with good food, wine, and atmosphere.
Chef Owner Alfredo Patino describes his restaurant’s as being ‘European Roadside Cuisine’. The trendy, chic people of Edgewater and Wynwood love a good bistro with European charm and excellent wine. Bin No. 18 explores a spectrum of artisan dishes, including the taste of the Riviera urban cuisine. The eggplant bruschetta is an amazing starter, and pairs nicely with a glass of California’s finest Cabernet Sauvignon. Patino plans on opening up a new French Spot along 79th street, so keep you’re eyes peeled.

Our guide of groovy eateries takes us from the north end of Edgewater, where Bin No. 18 is located, to the southern end, near the Miami Marriott at Biscayne Bay. Mignonette is the name of the place, and seafood is what they specialize in. Nobody in the neighborhood can compete with chefs Daniel Surfer and Bobby Frank, as they combine their extensive knowledge and experience to deliver the most authentic and delicious seafood from the kitchen to your plate. We highly recommend an order of fresh oysters to start. For fish connoisseurs we suggest ordering the pan roasted grouper, which comes with a czarina sauce that will rock your world.
The Daily Creative Food Company in South Edgewater specializes in two things: gourmet breakfast, and custom made creations that go between two slices of bread. There is no debate, if you’re in the neighborhood looking to go out for either of these then The Daily Creative Food Company is your only choice. Loaded home fries, with crispy bacon and over-easy eggs, is the definition of a hearty and delicious meal. For a full list of their famous sandwiches click here.
