Toro Toro Is Buzzing
With Chef Richard Sandoval’s 4th Annual Viva Abejas Culinary Campaign

Showcasing the importance of the world’s pollinators – bees – on which the global food cycle depends, Sandoval’s fourth annual interactive, multi-sensory plant based culinary experience Viva Abejas (Long Live Bees) will take center stage at his restaurants worldwide, including right here in Miami at his celebrated Pan-Latin concept Toro Toro at the iconic InterContinental Miami. Guests will have the opportunity to experience the celebration with several plant-based culinary selections that incorporate bee pollen, honey, agave, avocado and additional bee-centric ingredients. Richard Sandoval Hospitality has partnered with the World Bee Project and will be donating a portion of proceeds from all Viva Abejas menu items purchased to its philanthropic partner. Guests can also donate directly through: www.richardsandoval.com/viva-abejas

Chef Sandoval shared, "As a chef, I’ve always been passionate about the ingredients that shape our cuisine. When I learned that one in every three bites of food we eat relies on bees, I knew I had to take action. Viva Abejas was born from a desire to give back to these incredible pollinators and educate future generations about their importance."

As part of the month-long campaign, Toro Toro will be featuring an exclusive, a la carte menu that includes plant-forward creations such as Coconut Tuna Ceviche – red onion, mint, radish, cucumber, avocado, Fresno chili, toasted coconut and orange blossom honey ($30); Charred Avocado Salad – rainbow quinoa, pea purée, radish, serrano, Meyer lemon confit and bee pollen ($24); Braised Short Ribs – agave honey, sweet potato, roasted heirloom carrot, chimichurri and grape demi-glace ($63); and Honey Cheesecake – honeycomb, blood orange, berry salsa and Alma Finca orange liqueur flambé ($23). In addition, Toro Toro will offer a handcrafted Viva Abejas cocktail during the month-long campaign. Priced at $15, the Honey Lavender Margarita is a refreshing mix of Blanco tequila, lime, honey, lavender, Crème de Violette and alma finca orange liqueur.
