Toro Toro at the InterContinental Miami is bringing back its annual 'Viva Abejas' menu, a celebration of bees and their crucial role in the global food system. The pan-Latin restaurant is featuring honey-infused dishes, specialty cocktails, and a special 'Bloom to Table' dinner, with a portion of proceeds going towards protecting pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Why it matters

Bees are responsible for pollinating about one-third of the food we eat, making them essential to global food production. By highlighting the importance of bees through its 'Viva Abejas' campaign, Toro Toro is raising awareness and funds to support conservation efforts for these vital pollinators.

The details

The 'Viva Abejas' menu includes honey-drizzled dishes like beef tenderloin with truffle honey, as well as specialty cocktails like the 'Viva Abeja Paloma' with chipotle-infused tequila, honey, and citrus, and the 'Margarita Melipona' featuring fruit-infused honey and turmeric. The restaurant is also offering a zero-proof 'Honeybee Fizz' with ginger, lavender, and a foam finish.

  • Toro Toro's 'Viva Abejas' celebration runs throughout the month of April.
  • A special 'Bloom to Table' dinner is scheduled for April 24.
