If you're craving Peruvian food or especially Ceviche, then Los Andes Restaurant in Elmhurst is the place to go. Their menu is filled with a variety of Andean specials which are served in generous portions. As appetizers, Locro is one of their most popular soups and the Ceviche Martini is so authentic, it feels as if you're somewhere in Cuzco or Lima. As an entree, their Parrilada Andina is a massive meat plate filled with ribs, chicken and chorizo served with a side of white rice, fried yucca and a salad. It is definitely big enough for two. Those fond of seafood should order the Paella or the delectable Choritos a la Diablada which are Prince Edward mussels in a bacon, spinach and tomato curry cream sauce. The service is friendly and if you are new to Peruvian food, you can always rely on their waiters for suggestions.

It seems like the trend towards sustainable, organic and seasonal food is here to stay, and since this is the case Nicks on Broadway will be around for a long time. The food options on the menu usually denote where the product is found, such as Narragansett Bay oysters, Point Judith fluke, and Blackbird Farm beef, every plate is carefully curated. Nick's has tasting menus that consist of four or nine courses as well as a beer and wine accompaniment. Just remember that the nine course meal requires a reservation at least a couple a days in advance. The original Nick is no longer around, however a young and prudent patron named Derek Wagner purchased the restaurant much to the delight of the West End neighborhood when Nick retired. In fact, Derek has been nominated twice for a James Beard Rising Star award and when he re-opened the restaurant, he kept the name as an homage to the former owner who had been here since 1969.

The Red Dory is a great place to satisfy your Mediterranean cravings. This casual fine-dining establishment offers sumptuous seafood items including Grilled Spanish Octopus, Grilled Faroe Island Salmon and Oysters on the Half Shell. Further, The Red Dory prides itself on using local ingredients that are procured from the farmers and fishermen of the area. The kitchen is helmed by the owner and Chef Aaron DeRego who adds a unique twist to the Mediterranean delights. The food is reasonably priced and well worth the money paid.

Here at this little restaurant on Hope Street, the menu is as eclectic as it can possibly be, with dishes that range from fish & chips to Korean-style bimbimbap, the kitchen is more than creative. Most of the menu items are sandwiches, in which there are vegan, chicken, pork, turkey and fish options. The Korean influence also makes another appearance with a Bulgogi steak sandwich on the menu. This sliced, soy-marinated masterpiece served on a garlic Bulkie roll is one of the best versions of this sandwich in the entire state of Rhode Island.
