| - Mira, te amo!
Stopped in for Thursday night dinner and my experience from the moment I entered the restaurant to the moment I left was superb.
Mira is located just off Wellington, behind Shopify and across from Spin. You basically walk down a short alley decorated with large lanterns and walk right into the restaurant.
As I walked in I was immediately greeted by two friendly hosts who offered to take my coat. The complimentary coat check is a really nice touch. One of the hosts walked me over to our table which was located in corner by the bar. This spot actually gave us a really good vantage point of the entire restaurant. Great for looking at the gorgeous design on the space, which was a lot more spacious than I initially expected it to be. The ambiance is lively, and it was nice to see a mix of folks there. Basically, this place is great for the after work crowd, romantic dates, or casual group hangouts.
Mira offers about a dozen or so cocktails all at $15. Half the list are piscos and the other half are classic cocktails with a Mira spin on them. I opted for the Victoria, which I was told was a very popular choice (see pictures). This is one spicy tropical drink! The peppercorn on top adds a nice little kick. Absolutely recommend this drink.
The meal was just divine. We opted for two small plates, two entrees and a dessert to share:
Conchas - we ordered this based on the Yelp reviews and they are every bit a delicious as people say. Scallops on the half shell, served with atomic butter taste like decadence - honestly I would be happy eating this for the rest of my life.
Ceviche Trio - Grouper, Fluke and Tuna - all of them light, refreshing and unique in their on way. The Nikkei Atun (tuna) had a nice spicy flavour so it ended up being our favourite.
Sudado de Pescado - this was a lovely grouper dish served with a crispy potato and a plantain chip. The accompanying sauce was so incredibly flavourful.
Salmón Teriyaki Anticuchos - basically salmon teriyaki. Really great presentation with the skewers. The fish was well cooked and the yuzu kosho added a really nice kick on flavour to the entire dish.
Picarones (for dessert) - donut made with sweet potato and squash, topped with lucuma ice cream, fresh pineapple and crisps. Really great for sharing between 3 - 4 (or 2) people and lightness of the dessert ends the meal really nicely.
The cherry on top was really our server Luis. Super engaging, insightful, and attentive throughout our meal. He even offered us some of his own experiences in Peru and discussed some of the ingredients used in the dishes. I learned a lot about the food we ate and history behind Peruvian cuisine. I will say that the dishes here are a little on the pricier side considering the quantity, but I found the quality of the meal, along with the impeccable customer service made it all worthwhile.
Definitely look forward to returning!
