Miami’s dining and nightlife scene is preparing for one of its most ambitious openings of the year as Amazónico, the internationally acclaimed rainforest-themed restaurant, prepares to debut its first U.S. outpost in Brickell in late September 2025. Located at 800 Brickell Avenue, the three-story destination will combine fine dining, immersive design, and vibrant nightlife, signaling a bold addition to the city’s growing reputation as a global culinary hub.
Founded in Madrid in 2016 by restaurateurs Sandro Silva and Marta Seco, Amazónico has since expanded to London, Dubai, and Monte Carlo, drawing attention for its lush tropical interiors, eclectic menus, and signature “electropical” vibe—a blend of Latin American energy, Cuban rhythms, and cosmopolitan flair. The Miami location will be its largest venue yet, with space for more than 385 guests spread across multiple floors that include a full restaurant, lounge, and rooftop bar. The opening represents not only the brand’s U.S. debut but also its most ambitious project to date.
The experience begins on the ground floor, where the main restaurant will feature an open kitchen concept allowing diners to watch chefs prepare a menu that celebrates Latin American cuisine with international influences. Guests can expect grilled meats, seafood dishes, fresh ceviche, and Nikkei-inspired combinations alongside craft cocktails and a wide-ranging wine selection. The second level is designed as a high-energy lounge space, offering live DJ performances, a sushi counter, and an atmosphere that transitions seamlessly from dinner to nightlife. The rooftop level promises sweeping views of the Miami skyline, designed to capture both daytime elegance and the dynamic energy of the city’s nightlife.
Amazónico’s design will play a central role in creating its immersive experience. Internationally renowned designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán has shaped the venue’s interiors, incorporating dense greenery, natural textures, bold colors, and curated lighting that evoke the vibrancy of the Amazon rainforest. The creative team has also looked to the glamour of 1970s Rio de Janeiro for inspiration, weaving together elements of vintage sophistication and tropical vibrancy. Each level has been crafted to provide its own unique character, but together they form a cohesive journey that merges dining, entertainment, and design into one experience.
The arrival of Amazónico in Miami comes at a moment when the city is seeing a surge in experiential dining concepts. Diners are increasingly seeking venues that go beyond food alone, favoring environments that combine gastronomy with ambiance, performance, and community. Amazónico is positioned to meet that demand, offering a venue that is as much about the music, visuals, and social experience as it is about the menu. For Brickell in particular, a neighborhood already booming with residential towers, luxury hotels, and international businesses, the restaurant is expected to become a major draw, boosting evening foot traffic and further elevating the district’s reputation as a lifestyle destination.
The opening also has broader implications for Miami’s cultural and entertainment landscape. With its ability to bring together locals, international visitors, and a diverse range of cultural influences under one roof, Amazónico could quickly become a defining feature of the city’s social map. For tourists, it adds another marquee attraction that blends Miami’s identity as both a Latin American gateway and a global cosmopolitan hub. For residents, it offers a new anchor point for nightlife and dining that promises to rival some of the most talked-about venues in cities like London and Dubai.
As reservations prepare to open and anticipation builds, Amazónico’s Miami debut underscores the evolution of the city’s dining scene. No longer defined solely by traditional fine dining or trendy bars, Miami is increasingly home to immersive, destination-oriented experiences that capture global attention. Amazónico, with its scale, design, and international reputation, is set to raise the standard even higher. By late September, both locals and visitors will have the opportunity to step into a rainforest-inspired escape that aims to deliver food, music, and design in a way that is uniquely Miami and distinctly global.
