At Jarana, a new Gaston Acurio-backed Peruvian restaurant in Esplanade at Aventura, delight in an ethnic extravaganza of ceviches, causas, antichuchos, traditional street foods, stewed meats, and national cocktails (pisco sour, anyone?). The extensive menu features dozens of craveworthy, delectable dishes. Here are three to not miss.
Cebiche Nikkei
The highlight of Jarana’s cebiche bar—which includes eight varieties of cebiches and tiraditos—is this top seller, made with massive cubes of soft red tuna marinated in tamarindo and soy sauce leche de tigre and accompanied by cucumber coins and avocado slices.
Conchitas à la Parmesana
This signature hot appetizer features four Hokkaido scallops beautifully served on the half-shell and topped with bubbling Parmesan cheese and a citrus zest.
Pescado Frito Nikkei
Among Jarana’s family-style dishes (which easily feed two to three), try this fresh, whole-fried snapper—diced and deboned for ease yet reconfigured for aesthetic value—with sweet and spicy Nikkei sauce and crispy broccoli.
