Marabu Restaurant
Cuban cooking from a wood-fired kitchen, in a room that feels like a dinner party in Havana.
Geprüft Oktober 2026
Marabu is the Cuban dinner to book in Brickell when you want more than a cafeteria: wood-fired meats, rum cocktails, live music some nights, and a room built for long evenings.
Why you go
Because most Cuban food in Miami is fast and cheap and wonderful, and sometimes you want the slow, dressed-up version. Marabu cooks over wood, so the lechón and the ropa vieja come with smoke, and the plates are built to share. The bar does the rum classics properly and the room has the kind of lighting that makes a date go well.
When to go
Dinner, from seven. Weekends bring live music and a fuller room; book a few days ahead. Weeknights are quieter and better for conversation.
Know before you go
$$ to $$$ depending on how much meat you order. Valet or the garage at Brickell City Centre a few blocks away. Dress a notch up; it is that kind of room.
