Nice dining places in Miami,

Miami is a multi-cultural melting pot and this is reflected in its cuisine. Sample a Peruvian ceviche, made from fresh raw fish marinated in citrus juices and spiced with chili peppers, at Cvi.Che 105, 105 N.E. 3rd Ave., Ph: (305) 577-3454. Or try a Colombian bandeja paisa, red beans cooked with pork, white rice, ground meat, fried eggs and plantains, at Rincón Antioqueño, 6521 Southwest 8th St., Ph: (305) 262-1515. Meat lovers should head for one of the many rodizios orchurrascarias (Brazilian steakhouses).

For local flavor, sample a frita – a Cuban hamburger made with ground beef, pork and chorizo sausage, spiced with onion powder and paprika and served with shoestring fries and sauce. A popular frita spot is El Mago, 5828 S.W. 8th St., Ph: (305) 266-8486.

If you come to Miami during stone crab season (October to May), then check out Joe’s Stone Crabs on South Beach, in business since 1913. It’s at 11 Washington Ave., Ph: (305) 673-0365.

For a sweet dining adventure, drive an hour to Islamorada to dine at Lorelei’s, said to offer the best Key Lime pie in the area. The beachfront restaurant, perfect for watching the sunset, is at 81924 Overseas Highway, Islamorada, Ph: (305) 664-2692.
