Chalan on the Beach

A nice casual restaurant, I feel like this is a “normal people” restaurant that you can come anytime and just be yourself, unlike much of South Beach. It’s not fancy and that’s actually a relief haha.

I came for the whole fried snapper as I adore whole fried fish, it’s ENORMOUS! The photo doesn’t really capture the scale. I think this is best shared between 2-3 people (along with an extra side or perhaps an appetizer). I was by myself and it was way too much!! To be honest my snapper was a bit overcooked, but hey mistakes happen. My server was super sweet, I would absolutely come back, just with friends to help me eat :) I’ve heard they have great ceviche so want to try that next time.

This is such a lovely find - close to our hotel on the corner of 16th and Washington Ave in South Beach - We had lush Steak flash fried with onions and tomatoes, and fries n white rice - shared the bowl as it was just a quick bite - was simple but absolutely gorgeous, seasoned to perfection! It was also gluten free which was perfect for me as I am coeliac xx

Total came to $30 with 2 cokes!! Fab value

The food and the service are excellent.
Elizabeth was super attentive, and her descriptions and suggestions were on point!
Thank you!!!

Great place, price, service, and food. We ordered pescado sudado mixto a bit soupy, pescado con mariscos less soupy, fish soup was the best fish soup we tried, and grilled octopus which came cut up in sauce and potatoes was a nice dish as well. Came out a bit pricey though all dishes were seafood, fairly large dishes which leftover for tomorrow lunch. Tips are not included, refreshing to see that in Miami Beach, but they deserve every penny for the good service.

I came here to try the Chaufa because my favorite place closed which was Kitchen 33. The chaufa was very good but Kitchen 33 was slightly better to me. I will be trying other chaufas around town to explore more options. I would definitely come here again, it was tasty. The jalapeño green sauce they have was very bomb.

Had the ceviche trio, pescado de mariscos and aji de gallona. The pescado de mariscos was amazing and the sauce was so delicious and addictive, especially with the rice. Would highly recommend. The pictures don’t do it justice.

Went here in hopes of some real food that’s actually healthy but no luck. The food is ok. The service is good. The atmosphere is just ok.

We ordered the whole snapper and a seafood fried rice dish. Also ordered a salad that was completely iceberg lettuce.
None of the food served to be fresh and they had no sauces to help make up for the lack of flavor. I was disappointed.

I had the pleasure of dining at this Peruvian restaurant, and I must say it was an absolute delight. I was greeted with warm and friendly staff who were eager to share their rich culinary heritage.
The menu was a true reflection of the diverse flavors and ingredients that Peruvian cuisine has to offer.
The food itself was a revelation. Each dish was meticulously prepared. This is the place to must try seafood.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an authentic and unforgettable Peruvian culinary journey.
