Andrés Carne de Res Brings Latin America’s Most Celebrated Party Restaurant to Miami Beach
Miami Beach, FL – November 2024 – Latin America’s legendary Andrés Carne de Res has officially landed on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, marking its first U.S. location. Known across Colombia as the ultimate "clubstaurant" that effortlessly combines vibrant dining with nightclub energy, Andrés Carne de Res has been a staple of Colombia’s dining and nightlife scene for over four decades. Founded in 1982 by Andrés Jaramillo and María Stella Ramirez, the restaurant’s Miami outpost captures the soul and festivity that made it a sensation across Colombia.
A Unique Venue with Four Floors of Fun
The 10,000-square-foot space is a multi-level paradise that spans four floors, including a lively main dining area, a mezzanine bar, a rooftop terrace with panoramic views, and a dedicated takeout area. With 400 seats, the Miami location is filled with Colombian artisan touches, from hand-painted murals and vibrant metalwork to colorful, handcrafted plates. Every element is designed to transport guests straight to Colombia, providing an immersive dining experience that feels authentic and exhilarating.
A Diverse Menu for All-Day Dining
Andrés Carne de Res’s Miami location serves lunch, dinner, and late-night bites, perfect for those who want to experience the restaurant’s famed offerings at any time of day. The menu features Colombian classics like lomo al trapo (beef tenderloin wrapped in cloth and charred over an open flame) and chicharrón (crispy pork belly), alongside a decadent burger with mozzarella, bacon, and caramelized onions, and even a vegetarian patty for those seeking plant-based options. Grill lovers can savor cuts like picanha, churrasco, and a massive bone-in ribeye.
The seafood selection shines with Caribbean-inspired dishes, such as a tropical shrimp ceviche with fried green plantains and shrimp encocado—shrimp braised in coconut sauce served over coconut rice. Traditional favorites like arepas and empanadas bring Colombia’s rich flavors to the forefront, while a special children’s menu keeps things simple with classics like chicken or beef spaghetti and ajiaquito (a Colombian potato soup).
