The first international outpost of Uruguay's iconic beachfront restaurant, Parador La Huella was bound to generate press when it opened at thoroughly unbeachy EAST, Miami. The signature eatery of the property, Quinto La Heulla and owners bring their fire cooking method to this lively hotel dining room with terrace and pool deck. Lacking the charm of the Uruguayan original, the Miami space offers a dining room centered on the wood fire oven and includes a sushi counter and outdoor deck that's substitutes concrete and skyscrapers for the sand and scene of the Jose Igancio original.
The Food
An unlikely candidate to offer all-day dining, Quinto La Huella is the signature dining room of EAST Mimai meaning that their wood-fired specialties like octopus ala plancha, chipirones and grilled fish also feature morning breakfast service of egg scrambles, chorizo omelettes and even oatmeal.
Last Word
What a way to squander an iconic brand, Jose Igancio's famed La Huella brings its signature parilla grill to the forgettable EAST Miami.
