This spring, Four Seasons Hotel Miami will introduce its new dining concept NUNA, a limited-time only dining experience created by acclaimed chef Jaime Pesaque, a pioneer in modern Peruvian cuisine. Taking over the Edge Brasserie space for dinner service, NUNA will introduce Miami to Pesaque’s refined interpretation of Nikkei, blending the delicate precision of Japanese culinary techniques with the bold, bright flavours of Peru. Chef Pesaque – whose flagship Lima restaurant Mayta has earned a coveted place on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list – is known for his ability to blend contemporary culinary techniques with the rich traditions of his home country.
NUNA will offer dinner service and a limited selection on Edge’s Executive Lunch menu, inviting guests on a sensory journey exploring the rich tapestry of Nikkei cuisine. Chef Pesaque’s carefully crafted menu will feature an impressive selection of ceviche, rolls, yakitori and hot dishes, each created with an emphasis on top-quality ingredients. NUNA will source the freshest seafood for its ceviche and sushi bar, premium wagyu beef and a selection of Peruvian chili peppers, Asian vegetables and traditional Japanese elements such as ponzu, yuzu and miso. Guests can expect dishes such as Ceviche Limeño with corvina, Leche de Tigre, sweet potato and cilantro; NUNA Roll with tuna, acevichado sauce, avocado and crispy shrimp; and Saltado al Wok, a bold stir-fry of beef and lobster infused with Nikkei flavours.
“At NUNA, we’re taking Nikkei cuisine beyond the expected to present a more contemporary, thoughtful approach,” says Chef Pesaque. “This concept is about balance – between Japanese traditions and Peruvian influences, between heritage and innovation. Every element is intentional, from the brightness of the flavours to the ingredient-forward compositions that define each bite. Miami’s cultural diversity and dynamic energy is the perfect place for NUNA’s debut, and Four Seasons Hotel Miami, known for its excellence and hospitality, is the best setting to bring my vision to life.”
Complementing the menu will be an expertly curated beverage program featuring signature cocktails, Japanese whiskies, pisco, sake and a selection of creative mocktails designed to harmonize with NUNA’s bold yet delicate flavours.
“NUNA represents exactly the kind of world-class dining experience we strive to bring to our guests,” says Haytham Said, General Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Miami. “Chef Jaime Pesaque’s reputation for pushing boundaries in Peruvian cuisine speaks for itself, and we’re thrilled he chose to introduce his new restaurant in our hotel, representing a new era of culinary experiences for our guests and patrons.”
NUNA at Four Seasons Hotel Miami at 1435 Brickell Avenue will officially open to the public on May 19, 2025. Reservations for dinner can be made via OpenTable. Follow NUNA on Instagram or click here for more information.
