The lunchtime crowd at Leku restaurant is happily
noshing and gabbing amongst themselves on a warm
sunny day in Miami. The Basque-style restaurant nestled
within the Rubell Museum managed to remain a breakout
hit among local foodies, even during the pandemic. A tall,
ponytailed figure in sleek slacks and a casual buttondown shirt is seen darting back and forth between tables,
chatting with patrons — many of which he sees regularly
at this chic Allapattah eatery where he is a partner.
Andreas Schreiner epitomizes the stylish man. Friendly,
charming, cultured, and well-dressed.

The founder of Schreiner Hospitality Group and CoFounder of Pubbelly Group has been brokering major
partnerships with notable hotel and restaurant brands
for over two decades. Fondly referred to as “the
neighborhood maker” for his golden touch with opening
loved-by-locals businesses in emerging urban areas,
Schreiner brings the pleasures of eating in Spain’s
enchanting Basque country to Leku, where his personal
style adds to the eclectic-meets-elegant vibe of the
restaurant’s interior.
