This weekend belongs to Bad Bunny. The Grammy-winning musician is not only headlining two shows at Hard Rock Stadium but he’s also opening a Japanese-inspired steakhouse with David Grutman this Friday.
The two unlikely partners join forces to bring us Gekkō, an upscale restaurant and lounge in the heart of Brickell. The menu is meat-centric, featuring fine cuts of Wagyu beef, a very large Tomahawk, filet mignon from an olive-fed cow raised in Kagawa and snow beef strip brought in from Hokkaido, among other steaks. This is perhaps more of your meat’s provenance than you care to know, but that’s just the kind of attention to detail Gekkō promises its diners.
There’s also a whole section dedicated to seafood and other Japanese classics, including milk bread, Kumamoto oysters, lobster dumplings and an assortment of sushi, sashimi and nigiri—like the 24k Otoro, a very Groot Hospitality creation.
We’re guessing Bad Bunny, who says “sitting down with friends to enjoy a good meal is one of the moments he values most,” will likely be in attendance this weekend following one of his shows. See for yourself when Gekkō, located at 8 SE 8th Street, opens on Friday, August 12.
