Executive chef/co-owner Jean Paul Desmaison was born in Lima and studied culinary arts in Peru, so he's pretty darn confident he can whip up a mean pisco sour and some ceviche. Expect your tongue to tango around a variety of chilies, corn, citrus fruits, and herbs while it tests the waters of Spain, China, and Japan by way of his homeland. La Cofradia is the type of place where you can impress a lunch date without feeling like you are paying just for the scenery. Try a ceviche or tiradito to start - we recommend the $16 ceviche trio sampler of traditional, Asian, and aji amarillo - followed by the beef tenderloin saltado ($22) and a side of tacu tacu or Parmesan cheese risotto. Daily lunch specials regularly change and usually run under $15, which is about $5 less than the average lunch entrée. But you'll forget about the cost after you take a few gulps of the glorious pisco sours made with fresh, top-shelf ingredients or one of the $9 to $27 wines by the glass. The wine list offers selections from the Mediterranean, South America, New Zealand, Germany, Australia, and even Japan (sake to us, wild thing).

You know how you can tell you’re in a relationship? It takes you longer to pick a place to dine out than to actually sit down and eat. “What do you feel like eating?” “Oh, I don’t know. How ’bout you?” “I chose last time.” “No, you didn’t. I... More »
This stylish Peruvian/Mediterranean restaurant excels in everything a dining establishment can. The room is modern and elegant, imbued with warm walnut notes and a sky-high ceiling. Service summons a professionalism not seen often in these parts. The wine list (and for that matter, the artisanal cheese selections) are extensive and smart. And co-owner Jean Paul Desmaison, one of Lima's rising star chefs prior to landing in South Florida, orchestrates a cuisine as riveting as any — not just in the Gables, and not just within a Peruvian or Hispanic context, but also in all of Miami. Proof of this can be attained via a taste of chupe de camarones, a classic Peruvian soup with shrimp, butternut squash, lima beans, corn, cheese, and a poached quail egg. Need more evidence? Pick up a forkful of pork slow-braised with pisco and grapes, or of baby octopus in Tuscan ragout, or, for dessert, of flambéed pineapple with purple corn demi-glace and white chocolate semifreddo (main courses run between $28 and $40, desserts $8 to $10). La Cofradia is under many diners' radars, but it is also on many diners' radars, so reserve a table in advance — especially weekends.
