MPP Brickell-Mi Propiedad Privada, Miami

Earning the seal of approval from the Peruvian government is no small feat. Only a handful of restaurants have been given the authority to expand their franchise into other countries as ambassadors of Peru, and if MPP Brickell-Mi Propiedad Privada is any indicator of the quality required to do so, it's easy to see why the list is so small. Their classic Peruvian cuisine centers around the country's signature dish––ceviche––which is prepared by their chefs using skills learned during training in Lima, Peru. Fish, crabmeat, and assorted seafood simmer in a mild yellow-pepper sauce in MPP's traditional ceviche, while the old-style recipe calls for marinating fish in citrus juice longer than usual. The chefs also grill seafood and tender cuts of beef for their main entrees.

The chic dining room and lounge features stark red and white color schemes, and floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the room in Miami sunshine and evil glares from that mean old moon. The eatery is host to convivial nights seven days a week, many of which often pour out onto MPP's patio.
