Miami is a hotspot for fresh, flavorful seafood, and ceviche stands out as one of the city’s most beloved dishes. Whether you’re a ceviche connoisseur or just looking for a great place to try it, here are five spots in Miami that serve up some of our favorite versions of this vibrant dish.
Bar Tulio’s
For ceviche with a bold and unique flair, head to Bar Tulio’s in Wynwood. Known for its great Mexican fare, Bar Tulio’s features two standout options that will satisfy any seafood lover. The Ceviche Classico is a traditional yet elevated dish, featuring fresh grouper and shrimp marinated in a tangy blend of aji rocoto, leche de tigre, and lime. The addition of crispy corn kernels, sweet potato purée, and Cuzco corn add delightful texture and a hint of sweetness, creating a perfect balance of flavors.
For a more adventurous option, try the Ceviche Rojo. This vibrant dish combines shrimp and grouper with lime and orange juice for a refreshing citrus twist. Tossed with red onion, avocado, tomato, jalapeño, and cilantro, this ceviche offers a fun mix of textures and flavors, with just the right amount of spice.

CVI.CHE 105
CVI.CHE 105 is one of those spots that needs no introduction. The Peruvian restaurant is everywhere these days, with locations up north like in Aventura and as far south as Downtown Dadeland. It’s quite the success story, and it’s earned that success thanks to its consistent quality and diverse menu.
This eatery easily has one of the largest ceviche selections on this list, with a ton to choose from: classic, mixed, and everything in between. There’s even a ceviche sushi roll! If you can’t make up your mind, try one of the ceviche samplers for a little bit of everything. Depending on which location you visit, you might even encounter ceviche specials. In short, this is a ceviche lover’s paradise.

Jaguar
Restaurants in Coconut Grove have come and gone over the years, but Jaguar has remained one of the neighborhood’s constants. That’s no surprise: It’s one of the best places to eat ceviche in Miami. The quality of the ceviche selection is unmatched and loaded with delicious proteins like corvina, shrimp, and calamari. While you’re here, consider ordering one of the tuna tiraditos to enhance your meal; you can leave full, having eaten just a ceviche and tiradito.
Jaguar is located at 3067 Grand Ave, Miami, FL 33133. For more information, visit their official website.
Paperfish Sushi
Over in Brickell, Paperfish Sushi brings a perfect fusion of Japanese and Peruvian flavors to life with a ceviche selection that’s as diverse as it is delicious. For a traditional take, the classic ceviche features fresh shiromi marinated in a tangy Leche de Tigre with red onions and cilantro – perfect for purists seeking bright, clean flavors.
Looking for something a little less traditional? The Nikkei ceviche offers a unique twist, with tender tuna bathed in a zesty Peruvian yellow sauce and topped with indulgent foie gras. For a smokier, bolder experience, the smoked rocoto ceviche combines shiromi, octopus, and shrimp with smoked rocoto and crispy canchita for the perfect crunch.
If you’re not sure where to start, try the Ceviche Sampler for a taste of their classic, Nikkei, and smoked rocoto ceviches, offering a full range of flavors and textures in one dish.
