Azul Apartments For Rent - Ludlum, Miami, Florida

Posted by Sara Lodi on November 05, 2008 16:23

At first glance, Azul might seem more like the type of place for high-class business travellers and snooty tourists, rather than regular, local apartment-ites, but that kind of thinking couldn't be further from the truth. Whether you've just unpacked or you've already settled into your apartment, treat yourself to a little luxury at Azul and you won't regret the experience.

Located in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, this eatery offers award-winning

fusion Mediterranean-Asian haute cuisine that takes food to another level. Try a range of creatively-fused delights, such as the tempura avocado, the miso-marinated hamachi, or the beef sirloin with jalapeno roasted potatoes. Vegetarian apartment-ites need not fear - try the charred eggplant, a meat-free dream.

Many don't head there just for the delectable menu, though - Azul boasts over 700 fine wine varieties and features floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a spectacular view of Miami bay. The clean, sleek atmosphere is further bolstered by the exhibition kitchen and the innovative Raw Bar (which is just what it sounds, serving raw food).

Positive reviews just keep on coming for head chef Clay Conley's creations, along with glowing acclaim from food, restaurant and wine critics. Reservations are highly recommended; dress code is business casual for lunch and smart elegant for dinner. This is the perfect indulgence-fest for pre-drinks dinner, an impressive place to wow a date, or simply a great way to jazz up a dull movie night. Dinner and the raw bar are open until 11pm Monday to Saturday (closed on Sundays).

So get out of the apartment, get your appetite up and head out to Azul to feed the need for good food and great atmosphere!
