Everyone loves Faena Miami Beach, and for good reason. (Have you seen the décor? It’s stunning!) It has its own theater, is part of an entire arts complex, sits right on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean, and has a score of multi-billion-dollar artwork—like gold-plated woolly mammoth statues and unicorns, for example—that will take your breath away. And looks aside, it has some pretty amazing restaurants, too.
As Miami gets hotter, celebrate summer in the Magic City with weekly specials at Faena’s two main restaurants, Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann {3201 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach;786.655.5600} and PAO by Paul Qui {3201 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 786.655.5600}, and let the good times roll. We’ve included a few of our favorites, below.
SUMMER TASTING MENU
When you can get it: Sunday through Wednesday, starting at 7 p.m.
With this special, four-course tasting menu, guests can nosh on both signature Pao by Paul Qui menu items and new soon-to-be favorites. Octopus Aguachile and Chef Paul Qui’s famous East Side King Fried Chicken are definitely on the menu, as are newer plates that are perfect for summer: like fresh Florida Snapper and Tender Aged Beef. This menu is priced at $55 per person, excluding tax and gratuity. Reservations can be made here or by calling 786.655.5600.
SUNDAY ASADO BRUNCH
When you can get it: Every Sunday, from Noon to 4 p.m.
Every Sunday, guests can head to Los Fuegos’ Sunday Asado Brunch for a real taste of South American live-fire cooking. A major social event in Argentina, “asado”—which translates to “open-fire barbecue”—is typically when friends and family gather around traditional, family-style dishes and spend an afternoon catching up. Faena’s Sunday brunch version is just as cherished, but in true Faena fashion, it’s a little more extravagant. Spread across four courses, it invites guests to feast on plates like Empanadas stuffed with hand-cut prime filet mignon and llajua sauce, Pink Grapefruit Salad with avocado and provoleta, Chorizo with garlic aioli and potato salad, Dulce de Leche Pancakes, and more. Brunch is priced at $75 per adult and $35 per child. Bottomless mimosas and Bloody Mary’s are available for an additional $25 per adult.
SUNDOWN SOCIAL AT PAO BY PAUL QUI
Sunday through Wednesday, from 6 – 8 p.m.
Ready for some happy hour? Pao by Paul Qui is just the spot. During the “Sundown Social,” guests can munch on Chef Paul Qui’s “perfect bites,” like East Side King Fried Chicken and specially-priced oysters, caviar, and “pulutan” Filipino finger foods. And of course, to wash it all down, get discounted cocktails, beer, and wine. For more information about Sundown Social, call 786.655.5600.
Happy Dining!
