Opening in December, Juvia is a 10,000 square foot indoor/outdoor restaurant and lounge on the penthouse level of the parking garage by Herzog & de Meuron at 1111 Lincoln Road. Owned and operated by Jonas and Alexandra Millan of Bonito St. Barth, Juvia's dining room will feature a vertical garden, designed by internationally acclaimed botanist Patrick Blanc, which, says a press release, "will invoke the lushness of the Amazon rainforest." Chefs are: Laurent Cantineaux, a protégé of Daniel Boulud, Sunny Oh, formerly of Nobu South Beach, and pastry chef Gregory Gourreau, who has worked with Alain Ducasse and Francois Payard. The trio will serve "a harmonious blend of the regional cuisines of Asia, the vibrant flavors of South America and classic French techniques" in the form of an ceviches, tiraditos, fresh seafood and prime meats.
