Two-Star Michelin Chef Henrique Sá to Open New Seafood-focused Coconut Grove Restaurant

Renowned Portuguese chef Henrique Sá Pessoa has introduced his latest culinary venture, Sereia, situated in Miami's Coconut Grove. This marks the initiation of a collaboration between Sá Pessoa and Sault Hospitality, formed by Miami hospitality experts Jourdan Binder, Sven Vogtland, and Alan Drummond.

Concept and Culinary Focus

Sereia embodies a modern, seafood-centric concept influenced by the Iberian coast and Sá Pessoa’s global travels. It amalgamates flavors from his extensive culinary background with experiences gained from working in esteemed restaurants worldwide. The restaurant's primary focus lies in its diverse seafood offerings, featuring a blend of imported delicacies and locally-sourced catches. Highlighted dishes include the Carabineiro (Scarlett Prawn) from the Algarve coast, and the traditional Cataplana fish stew. Additionally, guests can explore main courses such as suckling pork confit and enjoy an interactive culinary experience at the crudo bar with a carefully curated tasting menu.

Bar Program

Sereia's bar program offers meticulously crafted cocktails that complement Sá Pessoa’s menu, incorporating signature ingredients. Notable cocktails include the 'Iberian Mist', blending Croft Brandy, Madeira, peach, and cinnamon, finished with a tableside presentation featuring Iberico Ham essence. Embracing Portuguese culture, the 'Blue Port and Tonic' showcases white port wine, celery, Blue Magik powder, bitter orange, and elderflower tonic.

Strategically located in Coconut Grove on Main Highway, Sereia accommodates 125 seats, providing indoor and outdoor dining options, a full bar, and a private dining room catering to up to 12 guests with curated chef’s tasting menus.
