Zeru Miami Brings Basque Country Flavors to Brickell

Zeru Miami, a renowned restaurant focusing on Basque cuisine from Mexico City, opened its first location in the United States in Brickell. This marks the third location overall for the popular restaurant.

The menu at Zeru, which translates to “heaven” in Basque, draws inspiration from the cuisine of San Sebastian, a coastal city in the Basque country. The restaurant’s specialties include roasted seasonal whole fish options and Socarrat dishes that feature slightly caramelized rice from the bottom of the paella pan and mixed with items like king crab and Japanese Kobe striploin. Other highlights include mussel croquetas, Andalusian gazpacho, Bluefin tuna tartare, and sauteed scallops.
