Campo

Nestled in the heart of Miami Beach’s vibrant Faena District, just steps from the sun-kissed sands of South Beach, Campo at Casa Faena embodies the soulful essence of countryside living reimagined against Florida’s iconic ocean backdrop. Inspired by Alan Faena’s cherished Argentine estate, this 95-seat gem—designed with playful elegance by Faena himself—invites beachgoers to unwind in a bohemian-chic haven where coral reds and pink hues dance across Brazilian artist João Incerti’s mural “Let the Sun Come In.” Here, the rhythm of salsa, cumbia, and tropical beats pulses through the air, blending seamlessly with the salty breeze wafting in from the Atlantic.

At Campo, Executive Chef Antonio Maldonado weaves his Mexican heritage into Latin-inspired New American cuisine, crafting health-conscious dishes that celebrate Florida’s bountiful farms and pristine seafood. Sourced locally for peak freshness and sustainability, menus burst with vibrant flavors: start your beach day with refreshing green juices of spinach, kale, and ginger, or a garden-fresh salad dotted with heirloom tomatoes. Brunch delights include watermelon mimosas and hearty avocado toasts, while dinner spotlights nourishing entrées like grilled branzino kissed with citrus, Wagyu burgers infused with Latin spices, or tender cuts of grass-fed beef paired with herb-infused chimichurri. Cocktails, like the Char Lemonade with bourbon and caramelized lemon or the Melancia vodka fizz with cucumber and elderflower, add a playful twist to sunset toasts.

Whether fueling up for a morning surf session or lingering over post-beach bites on the lush outdoor terrace beneath the Tree of Life, Campo nourishes body and spirit. Open daily for breakfast (7 a.m.–11 a.m.), brunch (noon–4 p.m.), and dinner (Sun–Thu 6 p.m.–10:30 p.m.; Fri–Sat until 11:30 p.m.), it’s a seamless extension of Miami Beach’s laid-back luxury—perfect for solo wanderers, romantic escapes, or lively family gatherings. Reservations recommended via faena.com or 786-655-5600. In a city of fleeting trends, Campo roots you in timeless flavor and effortless charm, making every visit feel like a return to the land’s warm embrace.

Campo at Casa Faena sets a benchmark in Miami Beach’s dining scene by prioritizing farm-to-table sustainability, aligning with industry standards from organizations like the James Beard Foundation and Slow Food movement. Executive Chef Antonio Maldonado sources over 80% of ingredients from South Florida’s local farms, such as Swank Farms for heirloom produce and nearby fisheries for line-caught seafood, minimizing carbon footprints and supporting regional agriculture. This approach ensures seasonal freshness—think just-harvested greens in salads or Florida stone crab in specials—while reducing food waste through nose-to-tail utilization and composting partnerships. The restaurant’s commitment extends to eco-friendly practices: biodegradable packaging, energy-efficient kitchen appliances, and a zero-plastic policy for straws and utensils. Guests can trace select items via QR codes on menus, fostering transparency and education. Beyond the plate, Campo participates in beach clean-up initiatives with the Surfrider Foundation, tying its ethos to Florida’s coastal preservation. This holistic model not only elevates flavor profiles with nutrient-dense, pesticide-free elements but also empowers diners to make conscious choices, positioning Campo as a leader in responsible luxury dining that honors Miami’s delicate ecosystem.
