Reviewers highlight the espeto as the best introduction to Amazónico's grilled seafood program. The fish is cooked whole over open flame until the skin is charred and the flesh is just-set. The wood smoke imparts sweetness, and the simplicity lets the quality of the catch shine. It's a signature Brazilian preparation executed with precision.
Tips from diners
Order the espeto of the day — staff will tell you what's fresh. The size is generous enough for two to share.
Diners consistently call out the picaña as the standout beef dish — the meat is tender with good fat marbling, the grill imparts a smoky char, and the chimichurri is bright without overpowering. Reviewers note that this cut is rarely seen in Madrid, and Amazónico sources it specifically. The cassava fries are a Brazilian twist.
Tips from diners
Request it medium-rare and ask for the chimichurri on the side — you can control how much acidity you want.
The dessert captures the jungle theme without feeling forced. The pineapple is grilled to concentrate its sweetness and add char, the coconut ice cream is rich and creamy, and the caramel adds depth. It's a light, bright ending that reflects Amazónico's pan-American philosophy.
Tips from diners
Share this dessert — the portions are generous and the ice cream melts as you eat, creating a fluid consistency.
The sushi bar showcases Amazónico's Nikkei (Peruvian-Japanese fusion) influence. This roll bridges the gap between traditional sushi and tropical flavors — mango adds sweetness, cacao adds depth, and the technique is sound. It's playful without being gimmicky.
Tips from diners
If you're familiar with sushi, try this — it's a fun departure from tradition while maintaining technique.
Reviewers praise these prawns as the best seafood option — they're sourced from Huelva (known for pristine shellfish), grilled to just-cooked, and finished with a simple garlic butter. The meat is sweet and tender, and the size makes them a show-stopping presentation.
Tips from diners
Order these for a special meal — they're visually impressive and taste as good as they look.
Sandro Silva conceived Amazónico in 2016 as a celebration of pan-American cuisine with Southeast Asian accents. The restaurant occupies a dramatic space dressed as a European Rainforest Cafe — minus the mechanical animals, heavy on the jungle vibes — and attracts glamorous Madrid crowds. The menu extends from Brazil to Nikkei (Peruvian-Japanese fusion), Argentina, India, and China, with a Japanese sushi bar running parallel to grilled meats and seafood. A sister venue, The Jungle Jazz Club, occupies the ground floor with live music every night.
Book in advance — the restaurant is a scene spot and fills quickly, especially after 9 PM.
The atmosphere is loud and vibrant — perfect for groups, not ideal for intimate conversation. Embrace the energy.
Head downstairs to The Jungle Jazz Club after dinner — live music every night, great cocktails, and a party vibe.
Order family-style with grilled mains and sushi starters — the variety lets everyone find their favorite.
