La Mar by Gaston Acurio made the Mandarin Oriental its home in 2014, dazzling patrons with passionately prepared Peruvian food by their namesake global icon. A table on La Mar's deck frames Brickell's concrete landscape, its soothing bay waters reflecting the city's rising towers. The al fresco decor is minimal, with only a handful of over-sized umbrellas acting as sun shields. La Mar's serenity seeps inside as well; an open ceviche bar and vertical garden line the far walls, while teal chairs carry the eye to the bayside windows. Enjoy Peruvian-style sushi, lomo saltado, chaufa, tiraditos, and other Latin American favorites with a view that can't be beat.

- Outdoor Dining: "Parking at the Mandarin Oriental is valet only, so Uber in or be prepared to pay valet prices."
- Seafood, Brunch: "Parking at the Mandarin Oriental is valet only."
- Best for Outdoor Dining Because: Few places have the type of waterfront views that La Mar has, coupled with world-class cuisine and impeccable service, it's truly a must.
- Best for Seafood Because: As the name suggests, La Mar is all about dining from and by the sea. Unbeatable ceviche and other Peruvian seafood are La Mar's signatures.
- Best for Brunch Because: Bottomless champagne with ceviche and chaufa (Peruvian-style fried rice) makes for a pleasant change from the usual brunch. Try it and see for yourself.
