CVI.CHE 105
19501 Biscayne Blvd, Aventura, FL 33180, United States

First up is a well-known Peruvian restaurant called CVI.CHE 105 that has multiple locations around Florida. This one I particularly love because of its convenient location inside the Aventura Mall near places like JCPenny and Apple Aventura.
Ceviche is the specialty here at CVI.CHE 105, and it’s definitely what I recommend the most off of their menu. They have so many kinds of ceviche and it’s all fresh and delicious for an authentic Peruvian experience.
You’re going to love the sleek, modern atmosphere of CVI.CHE 105. It’s perfect for a romantic night out or even just a fun family dinner.
Houston’s
17355 Biscayne Blvd, North Miami Beach, FL 33160, United States
Phone: 305-947-2000

This next place is easily one of the best restaurants near Aventura, FL because of the beautiful, spacious waterfront location on the shore of Maule Lake, right off of Biscayne Boulevard near Greynolds Park.
Houston’s is pretty much just an arm’s reach from the city limits of Aventura, and it is such an amazing place to eat that it felt criminal to leave it out of this list.
When you head to Houston’s, I highly recommend trying their USDA Prime filet mignon or New York Strip. Otherwise, I say you should order the BBQ pork ribs that simply fall off the bone and melt in your mouth.
Sicilian Oven
Promenade Shops, 20475 Biscayne Blvd, Aventura, FL 33180, United States
Phone: 305-682-1890

Head on over to the Promenade Shops for this next place, Sicilian Oven. This Italian restaurant is one of the best places to eat near Aventura if you ask me. The chicken parmesan will absolutely blow your mind.
They also have some seriously incredibly wood-fired pizzas, as well as soups and pasta, if that’s more your speed. I prefer one of Andrew’s Select Pizzas like The Calabrese or The Mona Lisa.
Check out Sicilian Oven off of Biscayne Boulevard in the Promenade Shops shopping center, right next to Winn-Dixie, in the same plaza as Chuck E. Cheese.
Divieto Ristorante
19575 Biscayne Blvd Suite #375, Aventura, FL 33180, United States
Phone: 786-786-7807
Visit Website
Up next is Divieto Ristorante and I really think this is one of the best restaurants near Aventura Mall. Everything served here is fresh, authentic Italian food that makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
When you go to Divieto, I strongly recommend some of their homemade pasta like the seafood ravioli or fettuccine Alfredo that I find pair delightfully well with a glass of pinot grigio.
You can find Divieto Ristorante off of Biscayne Boulevard in the Aventura Mall, right near The LEGO Store Aventura Mall and Foot Locker.
Reunion Ktchn Bar
18167 Biscayne Blvd, Aventura, FL 33160, United States
Phone: 305-931-7401
Visit Website
Reunion Ktchn Bar is a “gastronomic lounge” that is sure to blow away all of your wildest expectations. The cocktails are like no other and the cuisine is prepared to a standard of the utmost quality.
Dining here becomes an experience, rather than a meal. The raw bar will take you away to somewhere tropical if you like, or you can take your taste buds to colder waters by trying their luxurious Russian Osetra caviar.
Look for Reunion Ktchn Bar off of Biscayne Boulevard south of DICK’S Sporting Goods, in the same plaza as the AT&T Store and BurgerFi.
Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza
17901 Biscayne Blvd, Aventura, FL 33160, United States
Phone: 305-830-2625
Visit Website
Right down the road from Reunion Ktchn Bar is a well-known name in the pizza industry, Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza. With locations all throughout Florida and the New England states, everyone should know about Anthony’s and their delicious pizza.
This particular location can be found off of Biscayne Boulevard in the same plaza as Aventura Ace Hardware and Olive Garden Italian Restaurant.
I’m a huge fan of classic pepperoni pizza from Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza, but they also have tons of other options to choose from. You can also order things like wings, spaghetti and meatballs, or even a calzone.
Bartaco
2906 NE 207th St Suite 104, Aventura, FL 33180, United States
Phone: 305-614-8226
Visit Website
Bartaco is a fantastic Mexican restaurant located inside Aventura Parksquare where you’ll also find Aloft Miami Aventura hotel and a Starbucks conveniently located nearby.
This is one of Aventura’s best restaurants, in my opinion, because it’s not the most well-known place, so you can usually find a table pretty quickly. However, their tacos do play a huge part in my love for Bartaco.
The menu is separated into a “tacos” section and a “not tacos” section, really narrowing it down for their guests. When you head here, be sure to try their crispy rock shrimp tacos or the baja fish tacos.
Bourbon Steak Miami by Michael Mina
19999 W Country Club Dr, Aventura, FL 33180, United States
Phone: 123-456-7890

Up next, we have a refined chophouse called Bourbon Steak Miami by Michael Mina. This place is a haven for steak-lovers like myself, but it’s perfect for anyone visiting Aventura, as well thanks to the many surrounding attractions.
They’re located inside the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa right next to the Turnberry Isle Country Club and Tidal Cove Waterpark. All the most fun activities in Aventura in one place!
When visiting Bourbon Steak, I can only recommend steak because that is all I ever order from steakhouses. Either the veal chop or the dry-aged, bone-in rib eye are the best menu items, in my opinion.
Barrio Latino Restaurant
20475 Biscayne Blvd G 1-3, Aventura, FL 33180, United States
Phone: 305-692-4455
Visit Website
Back to the Promenade Shops over off of Biscayne Boulevard for a look at Barrio Latino Restaurant, an absolutely terrific Cuban restaurant that everyone should try at least one time while they’re in the area.
They have a mouth-watering shrimp scampi on their menu, as well as countless other traditional, authentic Cuban dishes that are sure to put you in a food coma as they did to me.
This restaurant is very spacious and tastefully decorated, so it’s easy to relax and truly enjoy your meal. Barrio offers both indoor and outdoor seating, as well, so you can enjoy some of that Florida sunshine while you eat.
PANI Aventura
19501 Biscayne Blvd Suite 940, Aventura, FL 33180, United States
Phone: 877-568-7264
Visit Website
Another one of the best restaurants in Aventura, FL is a place called PANI Aventura. This one can also be found inside the Aventura Mall, right near the Adidas Store and Rosetta Bakery, perfect for a pleasant dinner or lunch after a day of shopping.
One of my favorite things to order from PANI is a poke bowl. They come with either salmon, tuna, or even a falafel option that I’ve never seen anywhere else, but it’s delicious!
I also highly recommend their baked branzino fish which arrives whole on the plate, topped with hollandaise sauce with a side of seasonal vegetables.
