One of the most enticing elements of embarking on an omakase journey is the luxury of intimacy. Sharing a multicourse culinary journey in front of the chef at work among a small group, diners are granted the rare opportunity to feel as though they a part of the magic behind the counter. At Miami’s ultraluxe Faena Hotel Miami Beach, they’re emphasizing this experience with the launch of its newest eatery, El Secreto Omakase.

The speakeasy-style omakase experience is curated by James Beard Award-winning chef Paul Qui, who helms fellow restaurant Pao by Paul Qui on the property. With a six-top bar and only two seatings per night, exclusivity is as integral a part of the experience as the extraordinary food.
