The intimate, yet spacious Arketekt By Aficionados pays homage to a classic British style cigar room, with dark walls, plush velvet armchairs, raw wood tables, and vintage carpets with crystal ambient lighting. The new restaurant’s cocktail program takes inspiration from its neighbor, Aficionados Brickell. Aficionados is the premier wine, spirits and cigar purveyor in the Brickell Financial District /Downtown Miami, and also houses a speakeasy bar.
Arketekt By Aficionados offers classic cocktails with a twist, which are perfect to enjoy with Chef Jean Paul Desmaison’s menu. We enjoyed a boozy brunch with his yummy dishes that mixed modern American with South American cuisine.

Flavor-rich with a touch of sweetness, this cocktail is shaken with Hendricks Gin, Lime, Green Chartreuse, Crème de Violette and a drop or two of simple syrup.

Brunch at The Arketekt
Although, there are main brunch dishes offered, do not resist the shareable Sweet & Savory selections on the menu, where you can pick one from each flavor profile.
For your Sweet choice, we recommend the decadent Maduro Pancakes – with fried sweet plantains that melds with its sweetened condensed milk topping into a rich banana syrup. Your Savory option is a bit harder to make. Choose the scrumptious Yo! Break Fast Flatbread – uncured bacon, mozzarella, tomato topped with an organic egg, or Eggs Benny – a classic Benedict elevated with beloved avocado and excellent bacon.
