Los Fuegos’ three-course Miami Spice lunch ($35) and dinner ($60) menus showcase the restaurant’s unique pairing of wood-fire grilling techniques with ingredients sustainably sourced from land and sea. For lunch, standout dishes include an appetizer of citrus salad featuring Florida grapefruits and oranges, avocado cream, roasted hazelnuts, and shaved parmesan; a main course of wood-fried salmon with fresh fennel; and for dessert, a refreshing key lime parfait with passionfruit cream and mango sorbet.
At dinner, the experience continues with a starter of grilled Mediterranean octopus, served with herb-dusted potatoes confit, tomato sofrito, garlic aioli, and kalamata olives—a perfect blend of textures and flavors. The main course of braised beef cheeks is tender and flavorful, complemented by a savory beef jus and potato purée that adds depth to the dish. For those looking to indulge, the prime ribeye steak, accompanied by domino potatoes and chimichurri sauce, is an indulgence worth every penny. To finish, the chocolate crostata with coffee mascarpone whipped ganache and cocoa nib ice cream offers a decadent sweet conclusion to the smoky dishes.
“Dining at Los Fuegos is more than just a meal—it’s an experience,” said manager Khrystyna Shazhko. “Live entertainment from The Living Room elevates the ambiance on a nightly basis, making for an unforgettable evening, especially during Miami Spice.”
