Awa offers a refined take on Amazonian cuisine in a space designed to draw you into the jungle. There are rich woods, vibrant orchids, lush plants, and a hand-painted mural. It’s the ideal setting to devour dishes that fuse bold flavors of the Amazon with the criollo spirit. That translates to river fish charcuterie, including a brilliant paiche ham, rich rice with cecina or juane de pato, and short ribs covered in a grilled ripe plantain purée, cacao nibs, and pickled banana blossom. Creativity spills over into the bar, too, with cocktails made with Amazonian ingredients, like camu camu.
