Experience Luxury Dining at Amazonico
Miami has long been known for its vibrant food scene, and the newest addition—the spectacular Amazonico restaurant—is taking culinary indulgence to new heights. Opened on October 27, the restaurant resides on Brickell Avenue and stands as the fifth location of this celebrated brand, the most lavish yet, with an estimated cost of $30 to $40 million. As soon as you step inside, the exuberant atmosphere envelops you like a walk through a rainforest. The restaurant's design features deep greens, volcanic stones, and dark tropical woods, creating a unique culinary adventure inspired by the Amazon River and its surrounding countries.
A Multi-Dimensional Dining Experience
Spanning three floors, the Amazonico provides an experience unlike any other. The ground floor is home to a main dining area with an open kitchen, a retractable roof, and live music every night. An elegant mirrored staircase leads you to a more casual bar and lounge on the second level, featuring DJs and a sushi corner to satiate nighttime cravings. Finally, ascend to the rooftop bar for stunning views of Brickell's skyline amidst lush landscaping and cleverly crafted drinks served in whimsical glassware.
Cocktails With a Twist
The cocktail menu is just as imaginative, featuring drinks served in unique, custom-made glasses, such as monkey and peacock motifs. A standout option includes their "boat" cocktails, which come in fun shot glasses, ideal for sharing during lively gatherings. Prices for cocktails range from $18 to $26—very reasonable given the lush experience offered.
Exquisite Food Choices
The cuisine at Amazonico reflects a delightful mix of flavors rooted in Latin American influences. Must-try dishes include the Ensalada Amazónica with mango, avocado, and citrus, followed by a flavorful main course like picanha rodizio grilled right before your eyes. The Guacho de Langosta—Maine lobster with orzo pasta—will leave your taste buds buzzing. Not to mention the exquisite desserts like corn crème brûlée, all served on custom-designed plates featuring images of Amazonian fauna.
A Hub for Nightlife
But Amazonico is not just about dining; it is also emerging as a nightlife hotspot. The newly opened Selva nightclub draws in party-goers with popular acts and no minimum cover charge, although reservations are required for table bookings. Just imagine a vibrant night filled with music, cocktails, and entertaining view of the skyscrapers around you!
Why the Hype?
Given its blend of stunning design, gourmet food, and a vibrant nightlife, it’s no wonder that on weekends the waiting list can extend up to 1,000 couples. Amazonico isn't just a meal; it’s an immersive experience that leaves you with lasting memories. It's a place to celebrate, laugh, and enjoy the good things in life—just like Miami itself!
