On October 19th, we will have the honor of welcoming Márcio Silva, the award-winning bartender and global figure in mixology, who will present the success of the Exímia Space in Brazil. In less than 6 months, this venue has stood out for its signature cocktail offerings and exquisite cuisine created by the talented chef Manu Buffara, recognized as the Best Chef in Latin America by The World’s 50 Best Restaurants..
In the world of mixology, the international hustle and bustle is no less intense. Awarded as the revelation bar, Exímia, located in Itaim Bibi and owned by brothers Gabriel and Nicholas Fullen, features the cuisine of Paraná-born Manu Buffara, who runs a renowned restaurant under her name in Curitiba and is set to open Ella in New York. But the main attraction there is the cocktails crafted by the award-winning bartender Márcio Silva, who is also a partner. ‘Exímia was created, in some way, to showcase Brazil as seen through Márcio’s lens to the foreigners who come here.’ He is a great professional with one of the most significant personalities on the international scene.
Exímia is a space where the pursuit of perfection in every detail is reflected in the cocktail menu, designed by Márcio Silva. It features a selection of signature cocktails, crafted with high-quality Brazilian ingredients and based on deep anthropological and historical research into classic cocktails. The use of natural fiber filtration gives the drinks a unique texture, making each sip a memorable experience.
As for the cuisine, the space benefits from the collaboration of acclaimed chef Manu Buffara, who has created a menu that combines her vast international experience with local Brazilian ingredients, crafting dishes that perfectly complement the signature cocktails. Buffara, who was named Best Chef in Latin America in 2022 and ranks 19th in the 2023 global Best Chef Awards, is renowned for her innovative and sustainable approach to cooking.
In addition to Silva and Buffara, Exímia Space is co-founded by brothers Nicholas and Gabriel Fullen from Grupo Locale, known for their expertise in managing successful restaurants and bars such as Locale Caffè, Trattoria, and Oguru Sushi Bar. Together, they have created a concept that celebrates Brazilian culture with a contemporary vision, free from clichés.
The event in Madrid will feature a luxurious Mexican catering, sponsored by Tequila Clase 44, where attendees will have the opportunity to taste their products. It will be an exclusive gathering by express invitation from Márcio Silva, who, along with his partners, will share the vision behind Exímia Space’s success and its rapid establishment as one of the top venues in Brazil.
To attend, you must be a friend of Márcio and be in Madrid on the 19th, available between 12:30 and 14:30. Márcio will send you the access form.
