1. Bravo Peruvian Kitchen
2925 NE 6th Ave, bravoperuviankitchen.com
We love the art on the walls, we love the 50 percent off all wine bottles on Wednesdays and most of all, we love the authentic Peruvian cuisine. (They’ve also got a Coral Springs location if, instead of a fun night out just off Wilton Drive, you want to take in the charms of Sample Road.)
2. Mancora Ceviche Bar
234 Almond Ave., mancoracevichebar.com
Remember when seafood on the strip was purely for the tourists? Well those days are gone and this fun and funky spot, right in the middle of the beachside action north of Las Olas, is one of the biggest reasons why. (They also have a Coral Springs location on Sample. Seriously, is there a Sample Road Peruvian District we didn’t know about?).
3. Kousine Peruvian Kitchen
841 N. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd., kousine.com
Peruvian and Asian food blends so well; chef Danny Kou, a Lima native, really makes the magic happen at Kousine. (There’s a second location – and it’s a bit north of Sample, in Boca.)
