Amara at Paraiso

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Waterfront Table in Miami's Edgewater

Amara at Paraiso sits along Biscayne Bay in Miami's Edgewater neighborhood, where the open water and the city's Latin energy meet in a setting that feels both relaxed and alive. The restaurant has earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence — a mark of distinction that speaks to the seriousness of its cellar and the care taken to match the right bottle to every plate.

Latin Flavors, South American Roots

The kitchen draws on the rich traditions of Latin and South American cuisine, translating them into a menu designed for both lunch and dinner. The cooking leans into bold, sun-drenched flavors — the kind that feel at home in Miami's climate and reflect the city's deep cultural ties to the Americas. Whether the occasion calls for a leisurely midday meal or an evening by the water, the menu holds its own across both.

Wine Worth the Recognition

The Wine Spectator award is not handed out lightly. Earning the Best of Award of Excellence signals a wine list with real depth — thoughtful pairings, broad geographic range, and enough breadth to complement the layered flavors that define South American cuisine. For guests who take wine seriously, the list here rewards attention.

Amara at Paraiso offers something increasingly rare: a dining room where the location, the food, and the wine program all pull in the same direction.
