Now in it’s 16th year, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB)’s Miami Spice program is bigger and better than ever. Don’t believe us? Tonight will prove it. For the first time ever, you can head to Miami’s only modern-day, Latin-inspired dinner and cabaret club, El Tucán {1111 SW 1 Avenue, Brickell; 305.535.0065}, for a one-night-only evening of haute Cuban cuisine, cocktails, dancing, and music... all in the name of Miami Spice.
And at El Tucán, you don’t just get a show; you get transported to another world: 1940’s Cuba, to be exact. Paying homage to that bygone era of glitz and glamour, this 21st-century cabaret promises everything from Afro-Latin to Parisian pop. It’s all performed by both renowned and emerging DJs from around the world, and a permanent 11-piece Latin-jazz orchestra curated by two-time Grammy award-winning pianist, composer, and producer Marlow Rosado. Only open on the weekends, this theater-style restaurant is the only one of its kind in the Magic City, so when the curtain goes up at 8 p.m., get ready for some Miami sophistication like you’ve never seen before. While they watch, diners will get a three-course meal from El Tucán’s Miami Spice menu—like Tostones con Ceviche de Wahoo, Ahi Tuna Taquitos, Anticucho de Res, Matcha Green Tea Molten Lava Cake, and more—as well as complimentary cocktails from Miami Spice sponsors Stella Artois, Ketel One Vodka, Don Julio Tequila, Bulleit Bourbon, Zacapa Rum, Chandon California, Terrazas de los Andes, and FIJI Water.
