Descorche Restaurant & Wine Bar Review - Coral Way - Miami - The Infatuation
"Descorche cares about its regulars. If you go often enough, they’ll not only anticipate your order, they’ll help you strategize when to drop off sizzling plates of grilled octopus and boards of jamon iberico when your client arrives. We’ve seen it happen. But even if you’re not trying to close a deal, you should still come here to share a paella descorche. Their signature meaty paella comes with pancetta, sausage, chicken thigh, and black pudding surrounded by al dente saffron rice. It’s just what you want to be eating in this old school spot that’s separated into two dining rooms by swinging saloon doors. Plus, you’ll all have enough left over for breakfast tomorrow.

They’re golden little nuggets filled with cod so light it tastes like a fish that could fly. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Pulpo A La Plancha This is an entire meal for one. It comes with a piquillo pepper, caramelized onions, and a long crispy tentacle that wraps around Galaican style potatoes. Get the sweet onions, a piece of charred octopus, and tangy potatoes all in one bite. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Paella Descorche Almost the whole pig is in this paella in the form of morcilla, chorizo, and pancetta. Plus, they threw in a few chicken thighs for good measure. It supposedly feeds two but could honestly feed a hungry family of four who've just done 10 laps around Dolphin Mall." - Virginia Otazo
