1. A Global Sensation Arrives in Brickell
Amazónico arrives at 800 Brickell Ave with serious global cred, after winning fans in Madrid, London, Dubai, and Monte Carlo. Miami was an obvious next step, thanks to its international pulse and love for nightlife that blends seamlessly with dining. The U.S. debut feels overdue, and the neighborhood energy proves it.
From the moment you approach the building, you feel that global marquee energy. Locals, travelers, and food lovers line up to get a first taste, phones out, expectations high. It is the kind of opening that turns a corner of Brickell into a destination, day and night.
2. A Three-Story Jungle Escape in the Middle of the City
Inside 800 Brickell Ave, Amazónico unfolds vertically like a living story. Each floor raises the energy, starting social and sultry, then turning lively, then full throttle as night arrives. You wander up and the soundtrack and lighting shift with you.
The first level sets the scene with greenery and open sightlines. The second floor opens into a lounge and bar, perfect for that next round before the ascent. By the time you hit the rooftop, the city feels close enough to touch and the vibe hits its peak.
3. Transported to 1970s Rio: The Design & Atmosphere
The interiors at 800 Brickell Ave channel 1970s Rio with swagger. Think rainforest textures, sculptural wood, and saturated color that catches the light just right. Designer Lázaro Rosa Violán threads Brazilian modernism through every curve and pattern.
Vintage Rio nods show up in rattan, terrazzo, and playful tropical prints. You feel transported without leaving Brickell, like stepping into a time capsule powered by samba and sunshine. It is escapism you can touch, from the banquettes to the bar tiles.
4. A Menu Inspired by Brazil — And the World Beyond
The menu respects Brazilian roots while roaming far beyond. You will catch Argentinian fire from the grill, bright Nikkei notes, and clever touches borrowed from Chinese wok heat and Indian spice. Miami exclusives spotlight local seafood, fresh and briny.
It reads like a passport stamped with flavor. One course leans tropical and smoky, the next zesty and umami rich. The balance feels confident, showing off technique without losing that celebratory, shareable spirit.
5. Signature Dishes Worth Ordering
Start strong with arroz chaufa loaded with duck, wok kissed and deeply savory. Wood fired seabass arrives with crisped skin and a delicate smokiness that begs for a squeeze of citrus. Alaskan king crab in a Nikkei dressing turns sweet, clean meat into a bright, glossy showstopper.
Black tiger prawns snap with freshness and grill char. Yellowfin bass brings rich texture balanced by herbaceous sauces. Share everything and you will still wish for one more bite of each.
6. Cocktails, Bars, and the Rooftop Scene
The second floor bar at 800 Brickell Ave acts like a magnet. Bartenders shake pisco forward creations, tropical highballs, and bold spirit blends that match the room’s pace. It is a sweet spot to reset between courses.
Head up and the rooftop turns the dial higher. City lights surround you while the cocktail list leans more playful and late night friendly. This is where the evening flips from dinner to scene, almost without noticing.
7. Live Music, DJs, and the Pulse of Amazónico
Amazónico blends dining with entertainment so the room never feels still. Live bands heat up the mid evening window, then DJs push the tempo as glasses clink and conversations spark. The programming is tight and the transitions feel seamless.
You can ease into a late dinner and end up moving near the booth without planning it. The lighting shifts with the beat, tightening focus on the performers, then opening back to the crowd. It is a feedback loop of energy that keeps you present.
