Renowned Brazilian Chef Collaborates With Riviera Dining Group for Two-Night Culinary Takeover at Mila Omakase

Riviera Dining Group is partnering with Brazilian Chef Manoella ‘Manu’ Buffara, who has won awards, to host a two-night culinary event at MILA Omakase in Miami Beach on Wednesday, May 17 and Thursday, May 18. With Chef-Partner Michaël Michaelidis leading the way in providing ultra-luxurious experiences and gastronomic excellence, along with Executive Chef Reiji Yoshizawa of MILA Omakase, the three-chef collaboration aims to give guests an interactive and unforgettable gastronomic experience that will engage all of their senses.

In 2022, Chef Manu was honored with the title of Best Latin American female chef by the prestigious 50 Best Academy. Her impressive accolades include being ranked No. 46 on The Best Chef Awards worldwide, winning the ethics and sustainability award in La Liste 2022, and owning the highly-regarded restaurant No. 46 on Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants list.

The intimate, 10-seat omakase journey invites guests to relish in the season’s freshest flavors with Japanese-Mediterranean cuisine, paired with Chef Manu’s Latin touch. The menu, priced at $380 per person, includes canapés such as Scallops drizzled with lemongrass sauce, bora honey, and Smoked Salmon, served with dill espuma and ikura. Nigiri dishes, such as Chutoro passion fruit kosho and Otoro served with Brazilian nut gremolata, are also on the menu. Notable dishes include Bluefin Tuna, served with clams, beurre blanc, and caviar; Black Cod served with seaweed ash and green pea velouté; and the Risotto, made with morel mushroom, truffle foam, and caviar. To complete the culinary experience, desserts will include the Emerald, made with cachaca granita and coconut jam, and the Japanese Uni, made with ponzu foam and yogurt ice cream.

Led by 26-time Michelin-starred Chef Michaël Michaelidis and Chef Reiji Yoshizawa, MILA Omakase offers an authentic and exclusive experience that takes guests on a journey to the Far East through intricate embellishments and culinary expertise centered around Japan’s 72 micro-seasons. The venue, situated on the second floor of MILA’s stylish rooftop lounge, is adorned with delicate cherry blossom trees, minimalist wooden elements, wallpaper inspired by Japanese craftsmanship, a striking marble countertop, a cutting board made of 500-year-old hinoki wood, and wall-mounted niches displaying MM members’ chopsticks collection.

The experience is $380 per person with two seatings per night at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on May 17 and May 18.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
