With enough luscious foliage to transport diners to the Amazon jungle, Amazónico has finally arrived in Brickell! The Madrid-born restaurant is known to bring Latin American flavors while featuring an atmosphere as vibrant as its interiors.
Created by husband-and-wife duo, Sandro Silva and Marta Seco, the eatery first debuted in Madrid’s Barrio de Salamanca in 2016, before expanding to locations in London, Dubai and Monte-Carlo. As for its newest venture, Amazónico has set up shop at 800 Brickell Ave with three floors and a rooftop overlooking the dazzling skyline.
“Miami was the natural next step,” said co-founders Sandro Silva and Marta Seco. “We’ve always felt like Amazónico was made for this city. The cultural energy, the people, the rhythm of life, all align perfectly with what we’ve built.”
What to expect from Amazónico in Miami
Throughout its three levels, Amazónico seats over 385 diners. The restaurant itself is situated on the ground floor, with an open kitchen to immerse guests in the culinary experience. The menu is rooted in Brazilian traditions, featuring dishes like Ensalada Amazónica, Arroz Chaufa, Lubina Al Espeto, Picanha Rodizio and Guacho de Langostinos.
Up the mirrored staircase to the second floor, you’ll find the Bar & Lounge where resident DJs and percussionists take to the stage. Drinks are served up alongside nightly performances, bringing the “elec-tropical” sounds. Bold cocktails here include the herbaceous Amazonegroni, spicy Palomito and Peacock Spritz served in a whimsical peacock glass.
Additionally, for those seeking a more intimate dining experience, the second floor is also home to a sushi counter serving unique Crudos, Nigiris, Makis and more for up to 14 guests. The third-floor rooftop, a standout feature of the Miami outpost, pairs jungle-inspired interiors with the city’s vibrant after-dark energy.
Note: the rooftop is set to open in October.
The newest location’s design is nothing short of Amazónico’s renowned rainforest aesthetic, led by Lázaro Rosa Violán, with deep greens, volcanic stone, dark tropical woods and woven textures throughout. Floating forms, curved lines and open-air layouts create a sense of flow between the interiors and exteriors.
