A Legacy of Excellence
Peruvian roots. A vision beyond borders.

A vivid expression of Peru’s culinary heritage, CVI.CHE 105 brings together bold flavors, vibrant surroundings, and the warmth of Latin hospitality. Founded by acclaimed Peruvian chef Juan Chipoco, the restaurant brand has grown from a single Downtown Miami location into seven restaurants across South Florida, each sharing a common purpose: to bring people together through the food and culture of his homeland.

Today, Juan Chipoco's culinary portfolio includes nine restaurants across South Florida, with seven CVI.CHE 105 locations in Downtown Miami, South Beach, Aventura, Coral Gables, Dadeland, Boca Raton, and Sawgrass Mills, complemented by two Pollos y Jarras restaurants. Together, these two concepts reflect Chipoco's passion for sharing Peru's rich culinary heritage, introducing residents and visitors from around the world to the bold flavors, traditions, and hospitality of his homeland.

At the heart of the experience is a menu that celebrates flavor in all its dimensions. Signature ceviches explore the interplay of citrus, spice, seafood, and texture, while traditional Peruvian dishes offer the comfort and richness of recipes deeply connected to their origins. Handcrafted cocktails complement the kitchen, extending the invitation to discover, linger, and enjoy.

That balance between heritage and creativity defines CVI.CHE 105. Its culinary identity remains firmly rooted in Peru while embracing the possibilities of a contemporary dining experience. A meal can move from the bright intensity of ceviche to the savory depth of lomo saltado, offering both an introduction for newcomers and a familiar connection for those who grew up with these flavors.

The surroundings carry the same expressive spirit. Vibrant interiors and an atmosphere of celebration create a setting for occasions both everyday and extraordinary. A leisurely lunch, a family gathering, or an evening with friends becomes part of the restaurant’s larger story, one in which hospitality matters as much as what arrives at the table.

Behind that experience is Chipoco’s enduring commitment to sharing his culture. His vision has guided CVI.CHE 105’s evolution from a neighborhood restaurant into a recognized South Florida dining name, earning national acclaim that includes a No. 2 U.S. ranking in Tripadvisor’s Everyday Eats category and recognition in the Miami Herald’s Miami-Dade Favorites awards for three consecutive years. Throughout that growth, the connection between cuisine, identity, and community has remained central.

Across all seven restaurants, the invitation is consistent: discover the richness of Peru through an experience that is generous, spirited, and welcoming. Each location brings that invitation to a different community, carrying forward the flavors and hospitality that shaped the original.

The next chapter will take CVI.CHE 105 beyond South Florida, with new locations planned for Atlanta and San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 2027. As its reach expands, its roots remain the inspiration—bringing the spirit of Peru to new tables.
