Our Inspector's Highlights

Mallmann customized the outdoor fire kitchen to bring out the flavors and aromas that can only be achieved in grilling. Set right in the hotel’s courtyard, the kitchen comes with a custom-made wood oven, a grand-scale grill known as the “piano,” planchas (metal griddles) and even an area dedicated solely to cooking in ashes.
The Miami restaurant has an extensive cocktail menu. The Faena Hotel Miami Beach beverage program is a tapestry of different ingredients, exotic flavors and classic techniques, spearheaded by beverage director Zarko Stankovik in a collaboration with Mayur Subbarao and Mark Kinzer.
Los Fuegos’ wine list also includes a selection of Faena Wines. Alan Faena, working with the renowned Marcelo Pelleriti (the first winemaker from Argentina to receive a perfect 100-point score by Robert Parker), brings to life a collection of wines that capture the essence of Argentina’s best vineyards and traditions.
Standout meals include wood-oven empanadas, skirt steak or prime rib-eye a la Parrilla served with chimichurri sauce, as well as handmade potato gnocchi.
The restaurant hosts a weekly asado, =an outdoor party featuring whole animals, including both meat and seafood.
