This place actually popped up on my Instagram feed, and the food looked so good I couldn't resist making a reservation to check it out. Nuna is located inside the Four Seasons Hotel in Brickell which is one of several restaurants there but this one sits on the 7th floor. Our waitress mentioned it only opened in June, so it's still fairly new. The chef, Jaime, is an award-winning Peruvian chef whose restaurant ranked 43rd best in Peru, and he's now brought his culinary experience to Miami.
It was a cool, breezy Miami night, so we sat outside on the patio overlooking the city. The view was beautiful, and the cozy fireplaces made it the perfect spot to relax after dinner with a drink. I went with a refreshing cocktail which i loved while my boyfriend ordered the miso old fashioned. He wasn't a fan of it and ended up switching to a regular one instead.
To start, we shared the bluefin tuna tacos and the nuna ceviche. The ceviche was easily our favorite dish of the night...it had scallops, octopus, shrimp, and crispy calamari in a rocoto leche de tigre that was both spicy and citrusy. Such a great combination of flavors.
For mains, we ordered the surf & turf salado, which came with truffle potato fries..everything about this dish was perfect, from the steak to the sauce to those fries. We also tried the pork belly udon noodles, made with shrimp, crispy vegetables, and a rich nikkei sauce which was also delicious.
For dessert, we went with the Peruvian flan, drenched in a honey like sauce and incredibly flavorful. We also tried the kakigori, which was really unique.. ot was like a light lychee meringue over crushed ice with a creamy center. It was airy, refreshing, and different from anything I've had before.
My only complaint was that the service was a little on the slow side, but overall, we had a wonderful meal and a nice experience. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for a beautiful ambiance, city views, and creative Peruvian inspired dishes in Brickell.
