Aracataca
New Colombian on the Key
Now open for dinner: 180 Crandon Blvd, Suite 117; Key
Biscayne; 305.361.5888
Great books can inspire all sorts of stuff: Common Sense
incited colonists to rethink their relationship with the
English, resulting in the American Revolution, and Ken
Kesey's work prompted people to rebel from the status quo,
resulting in...you. For a resto prompted by literature to
make serious food, hit Aracataca.
Named after the Colombian city in which Gabriel Garcia
Marquez did much of his writing, and plating eats allegedly
inspired by the author's signature magical realism,
Aracataca delivers "a new way of combining ingredients" by
drawing on Columbia's varied heritages (native, African,
European, Arab, Chinese) to compile a dynamic array of
flavors so delicious you'll risk consuming way too much, and
end up enjoying 100 years of solitude. Course number uno
includes blood sausage brochette topped w/ confit apples &
julienne spicy chili; crispy confit'd pork over a spinach
salad drizzled w/ lemon/coconut/ginger vinaigrette; and
octopus carpaccio w/ purple mash potatoes and vinaigrette
made from lulo, a South American fruit that's covered in
fuzz, and now has to constantly switch cars and make all his
calls from pay phones. Meal-size grubbin' includes braised
veal tongue topped w/ mushroom ragout & roasted potatoes
parmentier, braised lamb shank cooked five hours in red wine
and fine herbs, and sauteed monkfish crusted with
coffee-cardamom/cumin seeds topped with sauce made from
gooseberries -- thankfully not ganderberries.
To close things out, Aracataca's got Colombian desserts like
guanabana flan topped w/ aguardiente caramel; marinated figs
w/ blue cheese & candied walnut mousse served on baked
phyllo -- but hey, everyone was doing it, Dad...errr...Paul.
Feel the magic, on the menu
