Campo Restaurant Opens in Casa Faena in Miami Beach, FL | Eater Miami
"A new restaurant inside Casa Faena on Miami Beach, led by executive chef Antonio Maldonado (who grew up in Mexico), serves Latin-influenced American dishes using ingredients sourced from South Florida farms; the space was designed by Alan Faena himself. The dinner menu spans raw bar items, robata skewers, and sushi rolls, with an emphasis on sustainable proteins and seasonal vegetables. Highlights include an avocado salad topped with Ark Farm shishito peppers and green papaya; a wild mushroom tlacoyo with chipotle butter; Maine lobster accompanied by serrano yuzu and cascabel aioli; Key West shrimp marinated in adobo; hamachi rolls with Fresno chilies; and bone marrow ramen in shiitake dashi. Desserts include passion fruit cheesecake with goat cheese and coconut and an apple dessert made with Granny Smith apples and mascarpone. The all-day brunch menu features house-baked pastries and smoothies alongside heartier fare such as loaded pancakes with berries, chilaquiles topped with a sunny-side-up egg and queso fresco, and a wagyu burger dressed with port salut and smoked gouda. The beverage program features cocktails made with house-made shrubs, including brunch-leaning options like a watermelon mimosa, house sangria, and the Morning After (a bloody mary variation with clamato and celery salt), plus the Char Lemonade with bourbon and caramelized lemon and the Melancia with vodka, cucumber, and St-Germain; the restaurant also offers unlimited mimosas, champagne service, and non-alcoholic juices and smoothies. The 95-seat dining room showcases tropical murals by Brazilian artist Joao Incerti — including “Let the Sun Come In,” which decorates the dining room with reds, pinks, and white stripes — and includes an outdoor terrace and bar; salsa and cumbia music plays throughout, contributing to the lively atmosphere. Service hours: dinner Sunday–Thursday 6:00 p.m.–10:30 p.m. and Friday–Saturday 6:00 p.m.–11:30 p.m.; daily brunch noon–4:00 p.m.; breakfast 7:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m." - Olee Fowler
