Brosia Restaurant in the Miami Design District
Über-chic restaurants are popping-up all over the Miami Design District these days, and one of the recent arrivals is Brosia at 163 NE 39th Street.
Brosia is a product of Bridge House Restaurants, the recently formed hospitality arm of Dacra Development which has been so active in the District over the past few years.
Chef Arthur Artiles, formerly of the highly acclaimed Chispa in Coral Gables, brings his Mediterranean-inspired cuisine to Brosia and targets the various subcultures of the Med-region including, Spain, Italy, France, Greece and North Africa with his fare. The menu respects the regional culinary traditions of the region and the ingredients upon which they are based.
Notable dishes include Chermoula Prawns, Grilled with Preserved Lemons and Served with Hearts of Palm Salad; Seared Ahi Tuna with Tuscan White Beans, Escalivada and Olive Oil Emulsion. A selection of tapas and salads are available, including Rabbit Stifado with Currants, Candied Walnuts and Pearl Onions; Piri-Piri Shrimp Skewer with Avocado-Cous Cous Salad; and The “Brosia” Cobb. A signature Sangria and an array of wines reflect the diversity of the Mediterranean region.
Brosia’s interior was designed by Walter Chatham and blends warm mahogany wood, opulent textures and intimate lighting to create a sophisticated and stylish atmosphere. A twenty-five foot long mirror with an antiqued finish hangs above leather banquette seating.
On the opposite side of the room, floor to ceiling glass doors open up to a four thousand square foot terrace where guests can dine under a canopy from the preserved 150-year old white oak trees that name Oak Plaza. The exterior of the restaurant is accented with colorful mosaic walls, towering white columns and a terrace of Caribbean keystone.
Brosia is open for breakfast from 8:00am until 11:00am, lunch from 11:30am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday, and for dinner daily from 5:00pm until 11:00pm. These extended hours provide guests with the flexibility to conduct business meals at their leisure, as well as offer guests visiting the Design District in the evening to experience a tranquil setting.
