Forever a favorite for me !!!! I've been here probably 30 times lol over the years and it's always great . The staff is always very nice and welcoming . I've ordered mostly ceviche and tried a few meals. The food is always fresh and made to order . Inside decor and seating is beautiful. Vibrant colors and more . They offer cocktails , juices , water , and wine which is always good .

Ceviche tradicional, arroz chaufa de marisco.  Great food, awesome service .

Food and service was great. Gina our server was great, very knowledgeable about the menu. The space has a beautiful, clean, and colorful ambiance that feels warm, inviting, and elegant.

Dessert

First time. Quiet later lunch. Delicious. Visually well played. Flavors were very good and balanced. Had a Ceviche mixto and then a Risotto Saltado. Dessert was a Lucuma with chocolate cake. Luscious. Another guest had a more traditional lomo saltado. Rating should be more like a 4.5. Leaving room for future visits to affirm updated rating.

Jalea Mixto (fried seafood/fish combo)

We dined at Salimar Ceviche Bar on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant is beautiful and inviting. We were greeted right away before being told to pick any table we liked (they weren't too busy at the time). We settled in and were quickly welcomed by a smiling server who brought menus and water. To start, my husband and I ordered Pisco Sours (tradicional)--the perfect beginning to a Peruvian meal. The menu is extensive, with plenty of classic dishes that showcase Peru's rich culinary heritage. Among the highlights are ceviche mixto and several types of causas. For those who haven't tried causa, it's a layered potato dish with spices, often topped with tuna or chicken--a pre-Columbian dish that still shines today (take that, colonizers!). Highly recommend giving it a try. We ordered: ceviche mix, anticuchos (grilled steak or chicken), causa, and Jalea Mixta (a fried seafood and fish combo). Each dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The ceviche was bright and zesty, the anticuchos tender and well-seasoned, and the Jalea Mixta a crispy indulgence that we dipped in a spicy sauce and tartar sauce. Service was attentive and friendly throughout the evening, adding to the overall positive experience. My only regret? We didn't save room for dessert. But that just gives us the perfect excuse to return. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

This is my second time visiting this gem. Although I have visited other Peruvian restaurants this has to have the best tasting ceviche. From the last time I visited the restaurant has been updated and it went from hole in the wall to fancy! I was impressed!! They were busy but our server definitely took care of us. 5 stars all around. Two thumbs up for the chef, yummy in my tummy!!

Hidden gem alert! South Florida is well represented when it comes to Latin American or Caribbean cuisines. But In my mind, no South American cuisine tops Peruvian. Enter Salimar! A beautiful, vibrant space, almost as eclectic as the food itself. We came with a huge party(14 people, no reservation), and they were able to accommodate within 5 minutes. The wait staff was both attentive and patient. And the food? Delicious, point blank period! And even more impressive is the price point. Peruvian cuisine tends to be in the high side, but Salimar does not put a big dent in the wallet. Plain and simple, Salimar is the real deal.

Ceviche mixto

This is my second time eating food from Salimar Ceviche bar and I have absolutely loved it. I live about 45 minutes away from Fort Lauderdale but my hairdresser is nearby this place so I've been stopping by for dinner after my appointments the last few times. Everyone from the host to servers are incredibly attentive and friendly. I love how fresh and beautifully-presented the ceviche dishes are. The restaurant interior is also quite beautiful and inviting. Price point isn't too expensive. I would definitely go back. Just be aware their ceviche does run a bit spicy if you ask for spice!

Decor is simply chic!

Seems to me that this is my new go-to place for Peruvian food. I'm so happy I chose this for dinner!!! The decoration is so exquisite, clean, chic and warm at the same time. We had Nicolas as our server and he took the time to explain quite a few options on the menu. His attention and patience were OUTSTANDING. We went for a couple of pisco sours (as one should) which were very tasty. Ended up sharing 3 entrees that really blew our minds. Such an amazing way to end our evening! Can wait to go back!!!

Chocolate dulce de leche cake
Nicole J.

Our party enjoyed our dinner at Salimar. There was a nice atmosphere when we walked in - modern decor with some touches of traditional Peruvian folk art. Our waiter and other staff were very attentive and hospitable. The food was good and portions were just right. They ask to tailor spice levels which was nice. The ceviche was fresh and very flavorful. Desserts were also good. The coconut flan didn't have a lot of coconut flavor but was still a very good flan and you could tell it was homemade. The chocolate dulce de leche cake was also good, very balanced and not overwhelmingly sweet as many dulce de leche treats tend to be. Note for folks with seafood allergies - check in with your waiter. They fry shellfish and other items together.

My fellow yelpies truly never let me down! I've had Salimar Ceviche Bar saved for a while and was very intriged by their 4.8 stars. I'm Peruvian and a pretty hard critic when it comes to my cultural food. I'm comparing to my grandma or moms cooking and it's really not fair. We have so many Peruvian restaurants to choose from in South Florida (which I love) but I've found that some dishes are better at specific locations so it's hard to find a place that has the best ceviche AND hot dishes, if you get my drift. Salimar Ceviche is debatably my number 1?! That's still up in question, however, I can say they are mf bomb! Thier spicy mixed ceviche reminds me of the one my dad makes (the best) and their pasta options with seafood or lomo are drool worthy. Their staff was very kind and warm. I always have our little dude with us so I'm always grateful when they go above and beyond for him. We will be back to try more! Highly impressed. Deserving of the raving reviews. Also a vibe! I told my husband 'this place is so cute, you could have a birthday here'.

Salimar is hands down my favorite and go to Peruvian place outside Peru. I have been to Peru a couple of times and this food doesn't disappoint even when you compare with the actual food in Peru. The dishes are authentic and the decor is appealing. I have tried various ceviches and they are all very good. They can make it spicy too. Their chica morada is good but my favorite is their Chica de hora. It's basically an alcohol for a non alcohol price (don't tell them that. ;) ) Their food is best and they are always busy. No matter what time you go. Inspite of that they are always super prompt with their service and are always courteous. Salimar is the best kept Peruvian secret in SoFlo.

AMAZING! I grew up eating ceviche and this place definitely deserves its recognition. The decorations are beautiful, the service is excellent, and the food is great. They have a lot of options on the menu.

I'm always on the lookout for new places but have issues with spicy foods. I mean that ANY heat for me is like most people eating a scotch bonnet so I have to be very cautious.…

I am in the same boat. I asked to speak with the cook who turned out to be very accommodating to my needs.

Finally went today!! What have I been missing all these years. Taco Tuesday $3 tacos if you want shrimp or fish $4. Margaritas - looked like a fish bowl $5 ! Delicious !!! Brissa our waitress was wonderful very attentive, friendly & welcoming. There was an older gentlemen - I didn't get his name. He was extremely nice, kept coming by to see if all was okay & collected our empty margarita glasses. We ordered the carnitas, chorizo & steak tacos. 6 in total & filling. All delicious especially that they make their own tortillas! Now let's discuss the salsa. Can you make the salsa bowls slightly bigger. Or less chips because the salsa finishes & you have plenty of chips leftover. I didn't want to keep paying for salsa just to finish the chips. I will definitely be visiting again and bringing some friends!

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. I ordered two horchatas to go, a carnitas burrito, a breakfast burrito, and a bean and cheese pupusa with beans for my little one. Everything was packed to go, and my total came to $48 and some change, which I thought was a great price for everything we ordered. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was that they forgot to include the sour cream with my order. Other than that, everything was great! The environment was friendly, the place was clean, and the food was delicious. I'll definitely be returning to try more from the menu.

This one seems to be a winner. They were quite busy when we were there. We looked over the menu. They don't list their daily lunch specials, but there's a small note on the menu to ask about it, so we did. We both chose it for our lunch. The day's lunch special included a delicious plantain soup. The broth was especially flavorful. The soup came first and then shortly afterwards came the entree. The plate had salad, cilantro rice, half a boiled potato, and a thigh/leg quarter chicken topped with a creole sauce. The chicken was quite tender. As the portion was so large, I wound up taking most of my soup home and half of my meal. We shared some very good flan with lots of caramel sauce and whipped cream for dessert. The guy at the neighboring table had a meat plate with blood sausage, chicarones, and churrasco. I'm not a sausage person, but the crispy pork and the steak looked delicious. The lunch special, btw, was very reasonably priced. I'm sure we will be back here again in the future.
