Bravo Peruvian Cuisine

Came here for grilled octopus, and it didn’t disappoint! Very tender & tasty. The best we had in the US! Emily was a pro: friendly, attentive, and her stewed beef recommendation was spot-on: fall-apart tender, richly spiced and balanced with beans and white rice. Solid value, great portions. 5/5—returning soon!

Bravo was a good experience. The food was definitely enjoyable and tasty, and the drinks like the passion fruit and eucalyptus PISCO were really worth trying. Our server Rafael was super friendly and made us feel welcome. Just a heads-up: arriving close to closing time (we came at 9:10 p.m. and they close at 10 p.m.) meant the host seemed a bit ready to wrap up. So for a more relaxed vibe, I’d recommend going a bit earlier.

Do not come here for a dinner with normal service. The service was so slow. It was about an hour until our food came out. Not sure what took so long because we ordered simple items. They also added auto gratuity of 20% - the service was terrible and now we see why. The busser spilled soy sauce on us and dropped plates. Food was average - sushi was not that great. I used to come here a couple years ago but seems to have changed. My local friends noted that something has changed as well. Don't come here if you're hungry because food takes too long to come out. Suggest checking out another ceviche spot for better service. Beware - they'll charge you per refill on a simple drink like Arnold Palmer which is just iced tea and lemonade.... Doesn't make sense.

Incredible food and service tonight, as always! Francisco took care of us so well, ask for him! We’ve been coming here for years and we will never stop! Oh and try the Seco de Res. I’ve introduced this dish to so many people and they love it. Sangria here is the best too. And of course, the ceviche!

Daniel was a fantastic waiter. Explained the menu and had a wonderful personality. Frequently checked on us but did not hover!!! Food was delicious and the Allier was enjoyed by all. Dessert did not disappoint. All the staff was friendly and made for an enjoyable meal.

4 stars – Amazing octopus 🐙, friendly service, but some details fell short My girlfriend and I drove from Miami looking for something different and chose Bravo because we love Peruvian food—especially octopus. At first, service was slow and they forgot some sauces and lime we asked for. Luckily, Stephanie (our server) noticed and, with help from the super friendly bussers, turned things around. The sangria wasn’t what we expected—it lacked flavor. The ceviche was also underwhelming: the seafood didn’t seem fresh, and the fish pieces were way too big. BUT… the octopus was next level. Seriously, it was so good I ordered another one with extra potatoes. 🥔 It was so phenomenal we even sent a cash tip directly to the chef who prepared it. Dessert was solid (4 stars), and the place has potential. I’d just recommend giving more love to the bar area—it feels empty and the liquor selection is limited despite having a full license. 🍸 We’ll come back… but mainly for that amazing octopus and the kind service that saved the night.

A friend of mine recommended this place as he's a recurring customer. The exterior of the restaurant looks a bit rundown, but the inside is very modern and cozy. A nice place to celebrate a special occasion. The food is very good and the portion size is sufficient for an average person. The price is on the higher range but worth it.

I cannot rave enough about this place. As a Peruvian gal, I’m always so happy coming here. Emily is always so attentive & sweet. I highly recommend asking for her.

Loved this place! Atmosphere inside is really nice, and the service is super friendly. The food here is great. I recommend the calamari and yuca sticks for appetizers. I ordered the Quinotto Con Salmon. The salmon was delicious, and the portions are large, so I was able to take some back home.

I wanted to like this restaurant. My favorite food is ceviche. The server Angel was very attentive and friendly. However, the food was unseasoned. Which is very strange for Latin food. It was super bland. Also we opted for the $19.99 lunch special and they charged me $6 for my chicha morada which as you can see in the lunch menu should be included in the price. My daughter did not like the texture of her ceviche. It tasted like tilapia, which is the cheapest way to make ceviche. It should be made with grouper, flounder, sole, or corvina. There are others you can substitute, but not tilapia as it makes your ceviche feel like flan. Our lunch total for 2 people was $75. Don't get sucked into the lunch special. It's not worth it. Sadly I won't return to this restaurant.

2024 has been the year of Peruvian food (at least for me) and Bravo is definitely at the top of my list. From the outside, this place looks ordinary --- but once you enter you are pleasantly surprised with a great dining room, bar and service. This place is definitely more upscale --- so I would recommend for a special occasion too. In addition to a fantastic food menu, the drink menu is pretty extensive as well.

The food and service here is amazing! I loved what I ordered. Delicious! They also have lunch specials (sandwiches) that are under $15.

Great lechon sandwich, bar seating is great for a quick lunch and staff were attentive and friendly.

Been going to Bravo for a while now. This is one of the best Peruvian restaurants in Broward County. The lomo saltado was on point. The servers here are always very nice. And the space has a lot of nice decor. I've come here with large parties as well. Highly recommend, will be back!:)

Speechless! Servers running amuck , sick servers coughing, dish presentation lack luster, lack of table service, etc. It is not what it used to be. Oh well, I guess for me it's the end of an era. Thanks for the memories.

5 stars all around: Peruvian food with excellent service with a sleek interior design. 5 star food: Arroz con pollo / chicken w rice was amazingly good. There was a greenish sauce (maybe with pesto in it?) that was terrific on both the rice and the chicken. The portions are huge and leftovers lasted through TWO additional meals. Throwing calorie counts aside, we tried Peruvian donuts for desert, they're sort of sweet and chewy, plus come in a honey based sauce. Believe me, they're worth the extra Stairmaster minutes to burn off the extra calories. 5 star service: polite and friendly staffers were happy to help with menu choices and checked back often. 5 star ambience: it's sleek and well-decorated inside. Outside it's an older small strip shopping plaza. They've done so well over the years that they are now 3 slots of storefront from the original single storefront.

So my sister wanted to celebrate her birthday at a restaurant and wanted Peruvian food. A friend of mine recommend this restaurant. Thou a drive must say very good food & service is on point. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 cause server forgot to add a ginger ale to my check & as I was almost out the door went to tell me to pay for it. Honestly, 1) I did not know my mom ordered it & 2 really dude?! After a party of eight & I'm sure we all tipped you extra you're going to come at me for what $3 or whatever! ‍

First time visiting. I would go back. Service was great. The cheesecake was just okay. The ceviche was great. My partner ordered the steak and said it was good. Large dining area and we were seated with no reservations on a busy Friday night.

Bravo is one of the best Peruvian restaurants in FTL area. Big and tasty portions like their roasted corn kernels. I usually go for lunch and never had to wait too long. I have been to Peru and Bravo does justice to many of the traditional dishes. Their chica morada is spot on. The interior is more artsy and gives traditional vibes. Plenty of seating and parking.

Every time I visit Wilton Manors, I want to stop in for a meal at Bravo! The servers are always so friendly and the atmosphere is nice with dim lights and space between tables. The food menu is amazing as there is something for everyone, with genuine Peruvian culture woven throughout. My favorite is the grilled octopus "appetizer" that comes with potatoes. It's a complete meal! Their red sangria is marinated and amazing. The ceviche is delicious also. The portions are spot on and plenty for everyone to get full or to share!

Okay... I was not prepared for what I experienced here. This was my last Florida stop on my way to the airport, and I was wowed! My friend drove me to this place and I was like wow this is a spacious spot! They had plenty of bar seating and dining tables, and the decor was lovely! We were seated immediately and given water. During lunch, you can get an appetizer and main course for $22. I got ceviche was was deeeeeelicious -- and to stay with the seafood theme, got the pescado a la criolla (fish filet with rice and potatoes). It was a hearty amount of food, and it was delicious. I got a pisco sour as well... I learned that it's Peru's national drink! I enjoyed it thoroughly, and then mixed it with my friend's passion fruit juice... WHEW! I decided to get picarones to go... I had no intention of doing dessert, but my arm was twisted. Picarones are Peruvian donuts... and these were made with pumpkin and sweet potato, and came with this amazing sauce / syrup. Let's just say I was extremely delighted once I got on my flight home. If you're a fan of Peruvian food, or might just be interested in checking it out... come here. You won't regret it.

Food is delicious and with lots of flavors . The portion is not much for the price you pay and they take a bit of time to bring the food but overall the restaurant and ambiance are cozy and everybody is nice.

Once upon a time, I frequented Miami... Peruvian food was a staple we loved and have been so disappointed by the Peruvian offerings in my area. And then there is my father wanting to bring me to BRAVO but I was hesitant due to all the previous Peruvian let-downs. Reluctantly, I joined him and as we stepped into the restaurant, it became clear that my pop has not only been here recently but he must've be the life of some party because I was in ahhh that quite a few of the staff were so excited to see him. We ordered a pitcher (carafe) of SANGRIA and an order of MIXTO CEVICHE DE LA CASA (the mixto includes fish, shrimp, octopus, calamari and mussels)... they have plenty of other ceviche options but how can you pass on the "Mixto" ! We also shared a PULPO ANTICUCHERO (aji panca marinated grilled octopus with roasted potatoes and Peruvian corn with chimichurri sauce; this dish was unreal and in hindsight, I wish I ordered another one for my main dish. For my main, I ended up ordering a classic Peruvian dish, LOMO SALTADO; which is cuts of steak with onions, tomatoes, fries with a brown sauce/gravy over it over (and served with white rice). My pops went with the CHURRASCO A LA PARRILLA (churrasco steak with chimichurri sauce served with roasted potatoes and an arugula salad. Kinda glad I gave in to my father's insisting to try Bravo !

One of my favorite restaurants. The food is always amazing. The service is always excellent. It's a wonderful atmosphere. Great place for a date or a friend. Wonderful ambience, but not too loud so you can have a conversation.

This place is a gem. The staff, service and food all excellent! The Peruvian ceviche is so damn good! All the food we had was outstanding! If you live around here and have not been you are missing out big time! I could go on and on but I think you get the big picture. AMAZING!!!

One of best restaurants I've been since living in America, we can see the food is prepared from scratch, full of flavors and different ingredients and spices that match perfectly, the traditional pisco sour, we tried all desserts all delicious! The servers did a great job as we were in a big group adults and kids kind of challenge for them! Cute and cozy ambiance very clean. Thank you Dante and Zoila for bringing us here for the holiday lunch! Thank all the bravo crew for serving us !

Simply amazing! Great prices, yummy food and super friendly staff! Very nicely decorated family friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend this place and we will be going back

Pesimo ceviche. Asimismo le dije al mesero, ni siquiera tuvo la cortesia de decirme que no lo iba a cobrar. El pescado estaba horrible. esto paso ayer 23 de Enero a la hora del almuerzo, la vez pasada me saque una pita de la boca y nunca ofrecen no cobrar el plato en cuestion, pareciera que lo mas importante es cobrar y ya, te guste o no su comida. Creo que deben probrar su ceviche antes de servirlo, mi ahijado no se quejo, pero en su trio marino tambien estuvo pesimo el ceviche

First time coming to Bravo, and had the best experience. Great ambiance, amazing food and service was perfect. Mike was in top of everything as well as the assistant. Bravo will be our new favorite spot

Food: Some of the BEST Peruvian food I've had in a long time. We had lomo saltado and the bravo sandwich. The appetizer we had these small cheese balls that I can't remember the name. And churros for dessert. Honestly, 10/10. Definitely coming back. Food presentation was A1 and flavor and temperature was excellent. Service: Quick and professional. Never slacked. Ambiance: We went for dinner. Pretty romantic. Very nice for a date night or family night out. Definitely returning.

Really good food all around ! But especially love the ceviche. Service is always good and cute interior. From outside you may not suspect food to be so good!

This was my first time here and believed it won't be my last time .restaurante is nice and clean the decor it's nice ,service was outstanding, and the food was simple delicious I give 5 stars to the culinary team CHICHARRON DE CALAMAR ,LOMO SALTADO ,RISOTTO CON SECO ,CUATRO LECHES LUCUMA and café con leche .best Peruvian bravo

Our must stop place in Fort Lauderdale every time we visit now. And we are always lucky enough to have Mike as our server...he's the best and so passionate about food. We went TWICE on my bachelorette party and Mike made us feel like family and so welcome. He went over the menu with us, made recommendations and made us laugh!! This kind of customer service is a lost art...and we appreciated it so much! I visited again a couple months later with my new husband...and Mike remembered my group and made us feel like regulars. He recommended the lamb and my hubby was in heaven!! Also the Ceviche is a MUST. Obsessed. The love that goes into the food paired with the magnificent customer service is what makes this place 5 starts and a MUST visit!!! We can't wait to come back.

Food is amazing. I came here with my wife and we ate really good. I am Peruvian American and I can definitely vouch for this place. I got myself a ceviche mixto with corvina and my wife got a lomo saltado Sandwich. We shared an arrow chaufa, which was plenty of food and we took some to go. For drinks I got myself a chicha morada and my wife got a passion fruit smoothie. The place was clean and the staff was nice.

Stopped in while staying nearby and was definitely the culinary highlight of my trip. The food was fresh and delicious-- some of the best ceviche I've had. The service was great as well. I was sat at the bar and everyone was very attentive, but I also had a good view of the main dining floor and the servers were constantly walking around to ensure drinks were filled and everyone was taken care of. Beto / or Vito (I may have misheard) and David made sure I had everything needed. The atmosphere felt very warm and inviting with low lighting at tables and lots of space. Would recommend for anyone in the Wilton Manor and Fort Lauderdale areas to come enjoy here.

The food is amazing and very authentic Peruvian food. My girlfriend is Peruvian so we go to a lot of different restaurants tasting how they make their food and this place is definitely one of the best. We had ceviche, arroz con mariscos and chorritos a la chalaca and definitely recommend. The portion sizes are good too. Service is also great, very attentive, helpful, and just nice overall. The restaurant isn't that big but very cozy and great atmosphere for a date or a nice dinner with family/friends and if also gets pretty packed later on.

While the food is always good, this place could really use some basic, fundamental service training. During a recent $200+ for four, not once were we ever asked how the food was, did we need anything else, etc. It took so long from being seated to attended to, we ordered drinks, appetizers, and entrees all at once. But to order dessert, get more drinks, or even get the check, we had to flag down a very inattentive waiter. Even after he was flagged down multiple times, he would complete mundane unimportant tasks like collecting menus, counting tips, and socializing with other employees. Very disappointing service all around, even more so considering the price point.

This Peruvian restaurant was recommended to me by one of my Peruvian friends so I already came in having a feeling it would be great. It did not let us down. The ceviche was remarkable - corvina ceviche in a classic leche de tigre, Aji limo, sweet potato, cancha, & Peruvian corn. The pollo anticuchero was delicious - marinated grilled chicken breast, rice, roasted potatoes, salsa criolla. The only let down was the pollo saltado which was okay - chicken breast strips Flambé with onions, tomatoes, sesame oil, ginger with rice and fries. Looking forward to my next visit to Bravo Peruvian Kitchen! Update: Came in again recently with two friends and we shared the anticuchos (grilled beef heart skewers), yuca and cheese balls, a lomo saltado, and an arroz chaufa. If you ever come here to try out this restaurant for the first time, I recommend these four items plus a ceviche! It's what I will coin as a "taste of Peru!" If you are not too daring, feel free to skip out on the anticuchos but again, they are amazing! The chaufa and lomo are some of the best I've had in any Peruvian restaurant. Upgrading this to a 5 star!

We stopped by for lunch on a cloudy day. We got there a bit early, luckily, as about ten minutes after noon they really started to fill up their tables. We had good service from Luis A -- who explained he was Colombian (not Peruvian). They have complete meal choices on their lunch menu that included soup, but that seemed a bit much to eat. We both decided to order a sandwich from their regular menu and share an added side of sweet plantains. We each really liked our sandwiches. The plain bread used in our sandwiches was very good -- crusty on the outside and soft inside. Similar to Cuban bread. He got their roast pork (lechon) and I got their lomo saltado. I had mine with a side of chimichurri sauce. The steak pieces were tender and came with cooked tomato wedges and sautéed red onions. Yummy! The order of sweet plantains were more than enough to share. And they were perfectly cooked and caramelized to bring out their sweetness. Prices were quite reasonable. I could easily come back here again for a future lunch.

Stopped in for lunch and had a great experience! Bright newly decorated interior and friendly staff. I ordered a Lechon sandwich and a Diet Inca Kola. We also ordered some Sweet Plantains. In a short time our food was delivered . My sandwich bread was some wonderful crusty on the outside and soft fluffy inside with ample delicious tender seasoned pork. The plantains were perfect and sweet. The place fills up pretty fast and is a popular lunch spot for the locals.

Really good. Second time here and love it And best chocolate cake ever ! Ceviche is better in the afternoon

Amazing food- so authentic to my visits to Lina and Macchu Pichu! The service was impeccable, and the ambiance was so romantic! So clean, you could have sex on the floor, enjoy!

Food is amazing. Unique menu beyond the typical Peruvian elsewhere. Great service! Relatively kid-friendly.

An excellent spot for authentic Peruvian cuisine with an elevated touch. Good for big groups, wasn't too busy but make a reservation if you can. Service Our server was incredibly attentive and welcoming. He made recommendations, took photos for our large party and cared a lot about repeating our order to get it right. He told us stories about the owner and how much she cares to preserve the foods authenticity. So much so that everyone preparing the food is Peruvian. Food My family ordered a sample of things including the grilled octopus, calamari, jalea, sandwiches, fried rice, and fish. All portions were generous and great for sharing. I'm always excited to try lomo saltado at Peruvian restaurants so when I saw they had a yellow pepper risotto lomo saltado I was intrigued. We ordered both the traditional and the risotto and I enjoyed both! The risotto was cheesy and super filling. The lomo was delicious, tender, cooked perfectly. Very innovative and impressive flavors! Dessert We ordered the passion fruit cheesecake and a vanilla flan for the table to share. The cheesecake more memorable. I loved the fruity tartness of the passion fruit gel on top. It's worth traveling to Wilton Manors to give this place a try!

Bravo isn't far from our house, so we come by as a couple every so often for dinner or via delivery. I come by for working lunches regularly. The staff is super friendly and accommodating no matter how busy they are. Service is timely and food comes out hot. I'm a huge fan of ceviches and Bravo has some delicious, fresh options. Also the pulpo with potatoes and chimichurri is **chef's kiss** and one of my favorite items on the menu. Always order a pisco sour!!! I ordered mine with passion fruit/maracuyá.

Hey guys.. how's your Memorial Day going... we'll to start off had a lovely day at the beach and came here for lunch... The food great and the atmosphere is very nice... have Peruvian designs on walls and the seating is diner table style but we'll spaced out and comfortable chairs.. I ordered the bravo sandwich which was very good, toasted bread braised beef very tender with egg shoestring fries... Son ordered risotto with braised beef hubby ordered lamb shank with spanish rice and friend ordered shrimp bowl which he enjoyed ... for dessert we had a "suspicion" deep breath d which was ohhhh so yummmm. Can say yous need to try this place... as always you be the judge and enjoy trying something new...

Great experience had no complaints. Took time are a few things but when you're with family time does it matter

South Florida is home to the nondescript strip mall a nod to poor zoning and the 1950s mentality. Within these nondescript strip malls you can find some very good restaurants. Bravo is one of these. Bring your Peruvian appetite as the menu features refreshing ceviches and a special lunch menu. This is a great spot to have a hot non-sandwich lunch. I had the pork and rice with a first course of ceviche- it was delicious.

After todays interaction with the staff here I had to change my overall rating . I was the only car in the lot directly in front of the door . I got there about 11.15 since typically they open at 11 . The sign on the door stated opening at 11.30 in English and also Spanish . While out in the car two staff members came out one who watered the plants . The other came out and did the same but also looked into my car several times as I waited. At 11.30 he came back out to remove the sign from the door. He then looked into my car and closed and proceeded to lock the door while still looking into my car. Mind you no one locked the door prior the entire 15 minutes I had been there . It was unlocked just as courtesy I sat in the car until the time of opening. I was parked directly in front of the door so it was pretty obvious I was awaiting the restaurant to open. I let a few minutes go by before going to the door to see if they had opened . The guy ran to the door. Visibly upset from the way the staff was and lack of customer service or courtesy to even mention or ask if I was waiting . It was truly rude and I was super offended . The guy proceeded to state they were having issues with the kitchen . This as a constant restaurant visitor I'm pretty aware of the current situation with staff and lack there of . This would not have been an issue and I could completely understand . But to look into my car with me in it as you can tell I'm waiting. Then proceed to lock the door was harsh. I'm not sure if I will return here it was very disheartening.

Food was good, chicharrón de pescado was on point, the salsa for the choritos a la chalaca needed little bit of flavor, and the chicha morada was excellent, service was fabulous and the place was nice and full on Sunday. Highly recommended

Stopped by for a work lunch this week with a group upon realizing another local spot was closed. We showed up a round 12:30 and we're seated in the back - more than enough room for social distancing at this restaurant it's huge! Some in my group had never tried Peruvian food before so we decided to try a couple of dishes as an introduction. We started with the papa a la Huancaina as well as the yuca. Our server also recommended the octopus which we added as well! They were all delicious, but the potato came out a little lukewarm and the octopus could have been a tad bit crispier (more of a personal preference). I did think that the flavors were all there! Next we ordered the aguadito de pollo soup. To our surprise this soup was HUGE. It came in a casserole that looked like a stovetop pot! One in the party originally ordered it as a pre lunch meal, yet we all ended up sharing and there were still left overs! Very good hearty soup. For lunch I ordered the lomo saltado which was great. There could have been a few more pieces of meat but overall very flavorful! People in my party also got the ceviches and a noodle dish which they gladly made vegetarian. I would come back here with a group, great service the waiters could not have been more attentive! Recommend.

This last visit was lukewarm. We sat down and ordered some empanadas (this was Wednesday around 11:15 am) and they said they did not have any. Very disappointed. I got the Quinoa and Arugula salad with grilled salmon (dressing on the side). The salad itself was very very salty. The salmon was ok, one piece of it actually tasted like it was about to be past due....I could smell that off odor, but I went ahead and ate it anyway. It was ok. My husband got the Bravo Steak sandwich and it was nice and full of goodies....steak, egg, bacon, cheese, etc. The taste was average, nothing out of the ordinary. Overall just an average lunch experience.

I believe this is a family run restaurant in a strip shopping center. Not much on the ambiance and I was not impressed with the food. I was expecting more spice/flavor and not sure if it is just how Peruvian food is or if they dial down the flavor. Friendly staff.

Decided to stop here for lunch on a Monday afternoon on my way down south to break up the ride. The location is pretty close to i95 so it was nice and convenient. Parking a was a little limited but luckily it seemed that the only people park in were there for the restaurant anyway. From the outside, it looks like a small hole in the wall place. Once you step inside, the restaurant is huge! Tons of tables. Tons of people. Very clean looking. I was instantly greeted and seated. All of the waiters were extremely friendly to me. I ordered the Chicken Empanada and the Pollo Bravo Sandwich. I'm shocked at how much food I got! The empanada was served to me fast and piping hot. The chicken filling was so flavorful that I didn't even need to put the sauce on it for more flavor. The outside crust was flaky and perfect. It was so large, I purposely saved half of it so I would get too full before my sandwich came out. IT WAS A GOOD CALL! The sandwiches are MASSIVE! I swear it was a solid 12 inches of a sandwich! The entire roll was covered in juicy and marinated chicken breast, smothered in cheese and plenty of sautéed onions. I chose to not have the lettuce on the sandwich. This was so filling that I only ate half my sandwich as well. (But now I have a very yummy dinner!) I also noticed a very steady stream of take out business while I was seated. If I'm ever in the area again, I will for sure stop in for delicious food!

One of my favorite restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. When I lived and worked in Fort Lauderdale for 9 months, I always came here for lunch. The place has changed through the years, but it's still the first stop I make when I get to Fort Lauderdale. I always go for the sandwich with pork and it never disappoints. Add a glass of chicha morada to wash down all the deliciousness.

My family and I was there last Saturday and we all enjoyed our foods. Food was fresh and delicious. The service was excellent! The ambiance was delightful. I highly recommend stopping by and enjoy with friends and family.

Authentic Peruvian cuisine, nice family restaurant. We had the Seco , Saltado de Res y Risotto y beef tenderloin so good. Tamales are really good too. Good parking and gets busy for dinner.
