A striking European-styled brasserie located in the Rubell Museum, dishing up progressive cuisine inspired by Spain's northern Basque region.

Located on the ground floor of the museum, which opens onto a picturesque courtyard garden, Leku was designed - by Annabelle Selldorf, 'the art world's favorite architect' - to complement the art-forward venue, which houses one of the largest and most coveted private contemporary art collections in North America. 

The décor, of the French bistro-inspired space, comprises marble and cast-iron tables, mid-century style chairs, and a vibrant green tufted-velvet bistro banquette and additional art-deco accents. A colorful piece of art hangs behind the bar. The shaded garden area with covered terrace offers a breezy, tranquil space surrounded by native Florida greenery and shrubs - for 'al fresco' dining.

Head Chef Mikel Goikolea  hails from the Basque region and held the same position at the three-Michelin-star restaurant Azurmendi Pret a Porter in Vizcaya, Spain along side  his Sous Chef Esteban Martinez Lamas. Dine on a Basque-inspired menu of innovative, exhibitionist cuisine of artfully constructed dishes such as traditional octopus served Galician-style, Cinco Jotas Iberico ham croquetas and sea bass with hollandaise and arugula gelée. There's also a tasting menu of 11 courses priced at $95 per person.
