SARDI Peruvian Cuisine

SARDI Peruvian Cuisine is the project of Sophia and James, who set out to bring Peruvian cooking to South Florida. Chef Sophia, who grew up in Peru, runs the kitchen, and the restaurant takes its name from her grandfather.

The restaurant says each dish is made individually using traditional Peruvian techniques. The menu runs from ceviches and leche de tigre to causas, anticucho skewers and papa a la huancaína. Mains include lomo saltado, ají de gallina, arroz con mariscos and chaufa, and there are hearty soups such as parihuela and chupe de camarones. To drink, there is chicha morada and a lucuma smoothie.

The team calls itself a family and says its chefs and servers often share the stories behind the dishes. Tables can be reserved through OpenTable, walk-ins are welcome, and SARDI also offers takeout and catering.
