CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

📍 FAENA MIAMI BEACH
James Beard Award-winning chef, Paul Qui, unfolds an ultra-exclusive speakeasy style Omakase experience-- El Secreto. Blending Tokyo-style sushi and Kyoto-style kaiseki into an unparalleled tasting menu that’s prepared and served for a mouthwatering culinary journey.

Tucked behind FAENA's candlelit cava and the red velvet folds of Faena Theater, there is beauty hidden in the shadows. EL SECRETO, Miami's best-kept secret for those in the know.

In Japan, the term ‘omakase’ refers to respectfully leaving another to decide what is best, or in gastronomic speak: the chef’s selection.

Indulge in the highest-quality seafood from around the world and relish in ever-evolving dishes and ingredients such as line-caught fish flown in daily, innovative vegetable dishes, sea urchin from Hokkaido, sustainable bluefin tuna from Baja and Sanuki Olive Wagyu from Kagawa Prefecture in Japan.

What you’ll find? We’ll never tell.

I love coming here. Service and quality was exceptional. There’s only 6 seats in a dim lit room which was Mr. Faena’s personal bar. Their homemade pickled ginger is a highlight for me because it takes them a year to prepare. Every bite of fish has a unique flavor profile that they cultivate with different fruits, peppers and spices. It’s a special experience overall. The only negative thing I would say is the choice of music they were playing that we couldn’t change. I would’ve preferred something more upbeat. But I still give them 5 stars.

If you have not tried this Omakase you are missing out. The intimate setting, the service and last but not least the quality of the fish is just top notch. This was our third visit to El Secreto and each time they make it better. Can't wait to go back.

Exceptional fish quality in a private setting. We also left full, which is not always the case with Omakase. We spent $1,650 for 4 people that included a bottle of sake.

Outstanding omakase dinner. All of the courses were perfectly prepared and unique. The room where the dinner is served is very private and has amazing vibes. The chef’s were incredibly skilled and explained everything about each course. I had a great time and I strongly recommend El Secreto Omakase for anyone in the Miami area looking for an unforgettable dinner experience!
