MICO

Colleen Richmond • January 8, 2021

Fostering a setting that celebrates creativity, one of the most exciting and newest restaurants to open in Charlotte is Mico. Mico is located in the heart of Uptown Charlotte. The scent of herbs, spices and Argentinian tradition will tempt you in. Mico (which means monkey) is an open kitchen restaurant concept serving bold South American flavors with coastal Mediterranean influence. Guest’s can indulge in an immersive culinary experience, with an open kitchen restaurant concept that uses a wood-assist grill to create authentic flavors.

Mico’s dining menu artfully weaves together fragrant spices and fresh, local ingredients to deliver imaginative dishes, including a Brazilian “Fisherman’s Pot” seafood stew, Peruvian chicken anticucho, and refreshing Fattoush salad. Inspired by a satellite view of Argentina, Mico is accented by rich tones of yellow and arctic blue, along with rich woods, champagne brass detailing, fine fabrics and crystals.

The Chef de Cuisine at Mico is Chef Whitney Thomas. Whitney is breaking glass ceilings of her own as one of the few women to lead a top restaurant and even fewer as an African American women. Mico has allowed her to expand on her skills and creativity.

Globally inspired flavors and seasonal twists will take you on a culinary tour, with tastes from the blended cultures of Buenos Aires, Mendoza with its arid sweetness and the palatable beauty of Cordoba.
