The word ‘jarana’ in Peru means “celebration,” and Jarana in Aventura lives up to its name. The restaurant buzzes with energy daily as family and friends gather to share vibrant flavors, handcrafted cocktails, and a joyful dining experience. Peruvian cuisine itself is a melting pot of cultures shaped by Japanese, Chinese, and Italian influences, and Jarana’s menu reflects this diversity with dishes that showcase the country’s unique culinary traditions. Located in Aventura, Florida, the restaurant has quickly become a favorite for its spirited atmosphere and authentic hospitality.

When developing their second location, Jarana wanted to ensure the new space offered guests an elevated dining experience both indoors and out. The vision was to create a lively, weather-ready patio that carried the same energy as the dining room, while offering comfort and protection from Florida’s variable climate.

ShadeFX partnered with RCC Associates, national leaders in restaurant and hospitality construction, to deliver the solution. As part of the new build, five custom structures with retractable roofs were installed; two measuring 18′ x 14′ and three at 14′ x 12′. The systems feature powder-coated Signal Black frames and Ferrari Dijon fabric, complemented by roll-down screens that provide both privacy and reliable side protection from the elements. Interlocked with wind sensors, the screens automatically retract at speeds over 30 mph, an advanced feature that ensures durability, safety, and peace of mind.

The result is a vibrant outdoor dining area that doubles as an extension of Jarana’s indoor experience. Guests can now enjoy meals and cocktails al fresco without worrying about Florida’s sudden rain showers, hot sun, or gusty winds. The automated retractable systems reduce operational stress and guarantee reliable performance in varying weather conditions. For the restaurant, the project has been integral to the success of its second location, providing additional seating, an elevated atmosphere, and a flexible space for everyday dining, private events, and festive gatherings. With weather no longer a limitation, Jarana can welcome more guests year-round, boosting both customer satisfaction and business growth.
