New Peruvian restaurant, 33, set to open

After what seems like a quick turnaround and renovation, Coconut Grove will be welcoming a new refreshing restaurant called, "33" by the end of November. The former Bombay Darbar location has been taken over by Chef Sebastian Fernandez, who after 26 years of working behind the kitchen, the Chilean born Grovite will be able to showcase his sincere style of cooking that will encompasses Peruvian flavors and use international techniques and influences. 33 is very dedicated to souring the best quality ingredients including vegetables, fruits and fresh fish which is why his menu is expected to change frequently depending on availability.  This is one of their beef dishes which will be a special on the menu.

Chef Sebastian is also working on growing his own herbs and vegetables to use at 33.  All the dishes will be prepared with no more than six ingredients as "attention to quality" will be a strong focus.

33 will be open for dinner every night except Tuesday. As of now, small plates are meant to share and will include Tiradito de Snapper - ginger, aji limo, yuzu, Peruvian corn, sweet potato Brussels sprouts - roasted garlic, pancetta, yogurt, Lamb chop - chicha de jora (corn based beer), cilantro, Lima butter beans puree, Cured Tuna - soy, radish, fried shitake, aji Amarillo, Mussels - chalaca sauce, plantain chips, Solterito de quinoa (quinoa salad) - fresh cheese, edamame, tomato, cucumbers, choclo, Peruvian style fried rice and more. Desserts include a Fried Arroz con leche layered in a Pisco and Vanilla sauce, a Yuzu lime pie made with Japanese citrus and graham crackers and more Latin inspired sweets. (Prices range from $9-$20 a plate)

Craft beers will be available with selections from local Miami breweries in addition to a carefully curated wine menu with bottles ranging from $28 - $80.  Lunch and Brunch are still in the works but, guests can also expect to enjoy simple flavors executed Chef Fernandez's way.  

33 is located at 3195 Commodore Plaza.
