The Challenge

Leku, a fine dining restaurant nestled within Miami’s Rubell Museum, was undergoing a transformation into Leku Fish & Garden, introducing a new Basque-inspired menu under Chef Carlos Garcia. Despite its culinary excellence and cultural setting, Leku struggled to stand out in a saturated food and beverage market, lacking a clear visual identity to communicate its renewed concept and attract a broader audience.

The Solution

The rebrand positioned Leku Fish & Garden as a coastal-forward, high-concept dining destination. Through a refined visual language and contextual storytelling, the new identity highlighted the restaurant’s uniqueness, supported its evolving culinary narrative, and fostered a deeper connection with both local patrons and international visitors.

The Result
