Coco Bambu (CLOSED)

With 28 locations across Brazil, Coco Bambu brings quite the pedigree to its first U.S. location—which also holds the title of largest seafood restaurant in the country. The South Beach spot (housed inside the former Miami Ad School building) boasts a 450-seat dining room, a wine cellar and a spacious bar, which focuses on Brazilian-inspired cocktails (think caipiroska and caipirinha). It’s quite the scene at Coco Bambu, but people still come for the food: the menu comprises 100 shareable plates that range from small shrimp pastries to large seafood paellas and lobster tails.
