The food and beverage industry is about to witness a seismic shift in Miami’s dining landscape as Amazónico, the internationally acclaimed Latin American-inspired restaurant concept, prepares to make its highly anticipated U.S. debut on September 26th, 2025. Located in the heart of Brickell at 800 Brickell Avenue, this three-story culinary destination promises to redefine hospitality industry standards with its immersive rainforest-themed experience.
A Global Success Story Lands in Miami
Created by husband-and-wife duo Sandro Silva and Marta Seco in Madrid in 2016, Amazónico has rapidly established itself as a premier destination across Europe and the Middle East, with successful locations in London, Dubai, and Monte-Carlo. The brand’s expansion to Miami represents a strategic milestone for food and beverage companies looking to capture the vibrant Latin American dining culture that defines South Florida.
“Miami was the natural next step,” say co-founders Silva and 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.”
This sentiment reflects a broader food and beverage trend where international concepts are increasingly recognizing Miami as the gateway to the American market, particularly for Latin-inspired dining experiences.
Three Floors, Three Distinct Experiences
The Miami location spans three floors, each offering a unique atmosphere designed to create a multi-sensory journey for guests. This innovative approach to restaurant marketing demonstrates how modern food and beverage management strategies focus on creating memorable experiences rather than just serving meals.
Ground Floor: Restaurant and Live Entertainment
The main dining area features both indoor and open-air spaces, anchored by a stage that will feature live bands every night. With 175 seats, the ground floor includes an open kitchen concept that immerses guests in the culinary experience, allowing them to witness the artistry behind each dish. This transparency aligns with current food service industry trends where diners increasingly value seeing their food prepared.
Second Floor: Bar, Lounge, and Sushi Counter
The second level houses 153 seats across the bar and lounge areas, featuring resident DJs and percussionists who create an elevated atmosphere. The sophisticated cocktail program includes signature drinks such as:
- Sangria Blanca – A refreshing take on the Spanish classic
- Amazonegroni – An herbaceous twist on the traditional Negroni
- Palomito – A spicy cocktail crafted with exotic ingredients
- Peacock Spritz – Served in Amazónico’s signature whimsical peacock glass
The sushi counter offers intimate dining experiences with unique Crudos, Nigiris, and Makis, while a private dining room accommodates up to 14 guests for exclusive gatherings.
Third Floor: Rooftop Paradise
The rooftop, opening in October 2025, will showcase Miami’s glittering skyline while offering the complete cocktail menu in a more intimate setting. Later this year, a separate nightlife destination called Selva will debut on this floor, designed as a luxurious late-night hideaway inspired by the Monte Carlo location.
Culinary Excellence Meets Latin American Heritage
The culinary program, curated by Sandro Silva and rooted in Brazilian traditions, represents a sophisticated approach to menu innovation. The concept draws on ancestral ingredients reinterpreted in refined, shareable formats, catering to the modern dining preference for communal experiences.
