Bad Bunny is inviting you to dinner.
The Latin artist has been taking over the charts since he was first discovered on SoundCloud in 2016. These days, he collaborates with the likes of Cardi B, Drake, and Jennifer Lopez. Since becoming a household name, Bad Bunny has hosted Saturday Night Live, becoming a Grammy Award winner, and is now adding another title to his resumé—restaurant owner.
The restaurant will be yet another collaboration, this time with experienced restaurateur David Grutman. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Grutman owns several hotspots in Miami, including Strawberry Moon and the Swan and Bar Bevy with Pharrell Williams.
Bad Bunny’s eatery will also be located in Miami, in the Brickell neighborhood.
“The culture reminds me of home. Miami is a city where I can relax. I love to go out to eat, see the ocean — it’s just a great city,” said the ‘Me Porto Bonito’ rapper.
Despite Miami reminding Bad Bunny of his Puerto Rican heritage, the new restaurant is a Japanese-inspired steakhouse. Named Gekkō, which translates from Japanese as “moonlight”, it features not only sushi, but also lobster dumplings, milk bread, Wagyu steak, and plant-based chicken.
“I’m obsessed with sushi, but I’ve got to say the A5 Tomahawk, the Wagyu crispy rice, and the lobster fried rice are all favorites,” the singer says.
Gekkō opened on August 12.
