Avila Bistro

While a top rated Venezuelan restaurant, Avila Bistro is considered Latin fusion as it offers other Latin-inspired cuisine on the menu. Family-owned and operated, the bistro’s culinary team pours a lot of love into their food, which is prepared using family recipes.

Mr. Chef’s

Mr. Chef’s is located in an art-adorned space with a dark wood bar and a small outdoor patio. The restaurant is known for its traditional Chinese cuisine, which includes Peking duck, Cantonese dim sum, Mongolian Beef and many more popular dishes. Order food for dine-in, carryout or delivery.

Barrio Latino Restaurant

Combining Cuban, Argentinean and Mexican flavors, Barrio Latino Restaurant gives guests the best of the Latin world in one place. Located in the Shoppes at the Waterways outdoor mall, Barrio Latino is accessible and also offers a sports bar. From the menu, start with los tostones rellenos de camaron followed by the ropa vieja or the asado de tierra.

La Montanara Ristorante

Offering homemade pastas is just one of La Montanara Ristorante’s secrets. The other is offering a world-class wine list. From ‘Risotto Night’ to ‘Lobster Night,’ there is always something to celebrate from the menu or during happy hour. From the menu, say yes to the beef carpaccio, gnocchi quattro formaggi or the trota alla mandorla.

Aji Carbon

Aji Carbon is a pioneer of Peruvian food in South Florida. Offering culinary guests authentic Peruvian cuisine with Latin flair at a reasonable price, the restaurant’s menu offers delicious options such as the quinoa crusted mahi mahi, lomo salteado, and causa atun.

Fresko

Fresko is a kosher favorite in the North Miami-Aventura area. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the restaurant offers an array of meals to satisfy any appetite. Coyly named after the Spanish word meaning ‘fresh,’ the restaurant spells its name with a ‘k’ instead of ‘c’ as the menu is kosher. The décor and environment is clean, fresh and appealing. Say yes to the French toast, sea bass casserole, feng shui or risotto shitake.
