Brisa, a coastal Latin restaurant, is opening at Buzzard Point this summer with Michelin-awarded chef Carlos Delgado at the helm.
Why it matters: The stretch by Audi Field is finally finding its footing — and Brisa wants to be a colorful anchor for the neighborhood's next phase.
Dig in: Eaternity Hospitality — the team behind splashy Wharf spots like La Vie and Nara-Ya — tapped Delgado's lead as culinary director.
- While his restaurants (Causa/Amazonia, Maru San) are distinctly Peruvian — and his head chef, Favio Gonzales, is Peruvian-born — Delgado is thinking bigger.
- Any Latin American country touching the water (so, almost all) is "fair game."
The vibe: Breezy, not busy. Expect a light, coastal feel — more Tulum beach than neon fiesta — with an airy dining room and patio built for lingering.
The menu: A tour of Latin America's coastlines.
- Ceviches, crudos and seafood-forward small plates
- Larger shares like barbacoa ribs, lomo saltado and rotisserie picanha
- A little friendly rivalry: both Colombian and Venezuelan arepas
🍹 Plus: A creative beverage program from Bolivia-born bar director Paola Salinas.
The intrigue: Brisa is aiming for upscale-casual — with a twist.
- Next door is a connected but separate street food concept for quick bites and takeout. Think arepas, tacos and salchipapas (fries + hot dogs), with about 15 bar seats — ideal for pre-game fuel or a waterfront picnic.
