LEKU
At the brand-new Rubell Museum, which debuted in December 2019, LEKU delivers the culinary delights of Spain's lovely Côte Basque area to 1100 NW 23rd Street in Miami's Allappatah neighborhood. The new museum is built in six historic industrial structures that Selldorf Architects linked and renovated. The new Museum is less than a mile from its previous location in Wynwood, which was made accessible to the public in 1993, and is closer to downtown Miami. LEKU, which is open for lunch and dinner, will serve inventive food without forgetting its Basque heritage. It will uphold the same tenet of sticking to fresh, regional products and straightforward cooking methods based on tried-and-true ways.
An amazing multinational team of seasoned restaurant and hospitality specialists who are aware of the caliber of perfection required to run a prosperous fine-dining institution runs LEKU. The management team includes Terry Zarikian of the New York and South Beach Wine & Food Festivals, Alejandro Muguerza of Le Basque Catering in Miami, Andreas Schreiner of Schreiner Hospitality, and 30-year-old Executive Chef Mikel Goikolea, formerly of Azurmendi Prêt à Porter.
The partners and Sous Chef Esteban Martinez Lamas created LEKU's all-day lunch and dinner menus, which will delight guests with full-flavored, fresh, seasonal offerings served in a magical indoor and outdoor setting. An impressive Basque outdoor wood-fired Josper grill, the outdoor area's focal point, has the transformative power to give Leku's seafood and meat dishes flavors of embers and flames. Alejandro Muguerza's concept for LEKU's design approach was painstakingly selected to evoke the atmosphere of a gallery restaurant that is an outgrowth of the Rubell Museum.
