Amazónico
Jungle-themed Amazónico, which opened in 2016 just north of the Retiro park, was long one of the most fashionable table in town, beloved of celebrities and footballers. While it's lost some of its original buzz, it's still a wonderful place to dine. The interior, the work of the Catalan designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán, is a lush tropical scene, with hanging greenery, a fruit-piled cocktail bar, and a stuffed peacock. The food, by Brazilian chef Sandro Silva, is similarly exotic, a culinary world tour stopping off in Japan, India, and the Mediterranean, as well as Silva’s native Latin America. A circular sushi bar serves up a poke of raw red tuna or Peruvian shrimp ceviche. Argentinian steaks and skewered sea bass smoke on an open grill. The lighting is nightclub dark, and in the evening, bossa nova sways at the Jungle Jazz club. Cocktails arrive with dragon fruit, sambucus flower, and papaya.
