2026
Ok, so we have to admit we aren’t the biggest fans of brunch. We would much rather have lunch. And when we do go to brunch, we tend to go for the less eggy options on the menu.
However, we’re doing this one for you because we have a funny feeling you love brunch.
This list covers the best places to do à la carte brunch and three buffets in Miami. It’s such a good list that even those who hate brunch will be pleasantly surprised. It covers one of our favorite pastrami sandwiches, some juicy burgers, a Mediterranean spread, and yes, we do have some good egg dishes.
Whether you want to day drink with your friends or take the family out for a nice mid-morning meal, just know we’ve got you covered.
DANIEL’S
Neighborhood: Coconut Grove
Address: 1500 San Ignacio Ave
Cuisine: American, steakhouse
Daniel’s may have changed our minds about what we thought about brunch. And honestly, we’re in luck. Daniel’s, a Florida steakhouse from the team behind Fiola, is now serving brunch in Coral Gables.
Their Michelin-recommended Fort Lauderdale location set the tone, and this is their second in South Florida. Most steakhouses are dim and moody, but Daniel’s is warm and bright, suited for family dinners, birthdays, and anniversaries. It’s really a special occasion kind of place. However, their prix fixe brunch menu makes it so you can come more often than you’d think. It includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert, and the portions are generous.
The menu focuses on seasonality and quality, with locally sourced ingredients and imports like 100% Coratina olive oil from Puglia. We recommend the burrata or wagyu beef empanadas to start. For a savory main, go with the bolognese or the steak and eggs, one of the best versions we’ve had in a long time, served with a prime filet, rosemary, peppercorn sauce, and a sunny-side-up egg.
If you’re looking for something sweet, go for the Belgian waffles with cherry compote, mascarpone chantilly cream, and maple syrup, delicious and balanced. If you’re going off menu and ordering à la carte, get the Caesar salad and the chips and dips with Kaluga caviar, house-made potato chips, caramelized onion, Florida sour cream, and chives. And for dessert, get the sundae
TINTA Y CAFE
Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address: 1315 Ponce de Leon
Cuisine: Cuban
Tinta y Cafe is a modern coffee house and ventanita with locations in Coral Gables and Miami Shores. If you care about Michelin accolades, they’ve received four consecutive Bib Gourmands.
If you’re in a hurry, grab your coffee, croquetica, and sandwich through the ventanita. If you have time to sit for un desayunito rico or a chill brunch after a workout, we recommend grabbing a table inside.
We love their sandwich selection, even for breakfast. Our favorite is the Guajiro, which you can have with pork or chicken. It comes with Swiss cheese, sautéed onions, and is drenched in a delicious mojo de la casa. They also have big, delicious salads, and we love their Honey Mustard Chicken with romaine, shredded chicken breast, provolone, and manchego crisp, tomato, red onion, and honey mustard dressing. It feels like the most Miami choice. The iced coffee with a croqueta is the Miami duo you need. Go with the spinach or ham croqueta.
Tinta y Café in Coral Gables is open Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. On Saturday and Sunday, they close at 4 PM.
AVA MediterrAegean
Neighborhood: Coconut Grove
Address: 2889 McFarlane Rd
Cuisine: Mediterranean, Greek
If you like Mila, Casa Neos, and Claudie, you’ll want to know about AVA MediterrAegean in Coconut Grove. Coming from the same team, it might be one of the prettiest restaurants we’ve seen lately. We’d absolutely come back for dinner, pero si te provoca un brunch en un setting bonito, you’ll be very happy with your choice.
The brunch prix fixe is surprisingly generous: three courses plus dessert for $45, with enough options that it doesn’t feel restrictive at all. Expect dishes like the Spanakopita, Tomato Ricotta Rigatoni, and the Ava Gourmet Burger. Ordering outside the brunch menu? Go for the Mediterranean Seabass Carpaccio or the Grilled Halloumi Saganaki. Good food, un lugar lindo, and a deal that actually makes sense — a solid pick for brunch. We’d check it out for date night or group plans.
FAÇADE BAKERY
Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address: 271 Giralda Ave
Cuisine: Seasonal, American
Façade is a neighborhood bakery that brought a little youth back to the Coral Gables dining scene. Bookshelves, a big wooden communal table, a marble bar, and an open space that feels social on purpose.
We go for breakfast. Order the Spicy Onion Toast with caramelized onions, folded eggs, chili oil, and sourdough. The Yogurt Bowl with coconut yogurt, cured papaya, housemade jam and granola, tahini, honey, and marigolds is a lighter move. Dippy Soldiers with two soft-boiled eggs and sourdough make you feel slightly British.
Do not skip the drinks. They’re fun and almost count as their own meal. Try the Tira-Missyu Latte with espresso, marigold vanilla syrup, salted soft cream, and cacao powder, or the Corn Flake Matcha with corn milk, marigold vanilla syrup, cold foam, and corn flakes.
Weekends get busy, and there’s usually a line, so go early. No laptops allowed, which we love. This is a spot to actually sit, talk, and be present.
SESAME BAKERY
Neighborhood: North Miami
Address: 2211 Sole Mia Sq Ln
Cuisine: Mediterranean, Israeli, French
Sesame Bakery in Miami’s SoLé Mia combines European and French baking with Mediterranean and Israeli flavors. Founded by the team behind Motek and Yalla alongside former Balthazar Bakery head baker Etai Almog, it offers scratch-made breads, pastries, and a full all-day menu.
Go for the Sesame Breakfast (eggs any style, labneh, avocado market salad, sourdough), the everything bagel with Labneh, or the almond croissant. It works for brunch, breakfast with the kids, or a casual coffee with friends. They’re open daily from 8 AM to 5 PM. They are also opening a Midtown location soon.
AMAND CAFÉ & BISTRO
Neighborhood: Brickell
Address: 635 Brickell Key Dr
Cuisine: Mexican, bakery
Grupo Ikigai also brought our favorite new everyday brunch spot located in Brickell Key. It’s this cute little breakfast and lunch spot that is bringing some delicious flavors. Stop by in your most comfy sweats and have some of the best chilaquiles you will find in Miami.
They also have solid classics like their Eggs Rancheros with beans and homemade red salsa, the Enchiladas Suizas filled with shredded chicken and covered in a creamy sauce, their Molletes on crispy baguette with black beans, melted mozzarella, and fresh pico de gallo, and the Fideo Seco that will take you back to your childhood if you’re Mexican.
TINA IN THE GABLES
Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address: 4700 S Le Jeune Rd
Cuisine: Latin American
Our favorite all-day breakfast and lunch spot in Coral Gables comes from the creators of Miami Slice and La Latina. Next to Shadow Wagyu in a cozy strip mall, you’ll find Tina in the Gables—La Latina’s more refined, posh cousin.
At Tina’s, you’re getting simple, homestyle cooking infused with a Latin twist. Must-try dishes include the Sunny Side Duck, featuring two sunny-side-up duck eggs, smoked duck breast “bacon,” pâté, and country loaf, as well as the Tuna Melt, served on sourdough with Tina’s tuna salad, tomato, sharp cheddar, and a side of house coleslaw. Don’t miss the seeded arepas, like the Coral Queen (Reina), filled with rotisserie chicken and avocado salad—a lighter take on the classic Reina Pepiada, made without mayo. If you’re craving something sweet, try Tina’s French Toast—made with brioche, salted butter, maple, and a hint of orange zest—it’s easily one of the best we’ve ever had.
PASTIS
Neighborhood: Wynwood
Address: 380 NW 26th St
Cuisine: French
The iconic NYC staple, Pastis, has expanded its presence from the Meatpacking District to the vibrant neighborhood of Wynwood. The restaurant stays true to its New York roots, offering the same menu filled with classic Parisian bistro-style dishes and an incredible ambiance that won’t make you feel like you’re in Miami.
You’re heading here for a chic brunch (buenísimo para llevar a los suegros) and sitting at their gorgeous outdoor patio decorated with ceiling fans, red patio umbrellas, and twinkly lights. We’d start with some drinks (of course), if you’re a spritz person looking to relax, start your meal with their St. Tropez Spritz made with St. Germain, lemon, aperitif, sparkling wine, and strawberries. But if you’ve had a long day (or week) then kick off your meal with a tiny Le Petit Pickle martini.
As for the food, we like to start with a few hors d’oeuvres for the table. We usually go for the Tuna Carpaccio with lemon vinaigrette, Escargots with garlic-parsley butter, and Crispy Artichokes with garlic aioli. Moving on to the brunch mains, go with the Crêpe Complète with ham, comté, egg, or the Croque Monsieur / Croque Madame.
FOUR SEASONS HOTEL AT THE SURF CLUB
Neighborhood: Surfside
Address: 9011 Collins Ave
Cuisine: American, Italian
The Four Seasons in Surf Club is one of the prettiest places you can be in Miami, especially if you want to feel like you’re on vacation. If you’re looking for a buffet-style brunch and can splurge, this is where you go. The price per person is $125 for food only, excluding drinks and beverages. It’s everything you would expect — an omelette station, a full seafood raw bar, a wellness station with immunity and detox shots, tomahawk steaks, made-to-order pasta, and all the mini desserts you could want.
KYU
Neighborhood: Wynwood
Address: 251 NW 25th St
Cuisine: Asian
A classic never goes out of style, and that is certainly the case for KYU. One of the few original spots that has been around since 2016. You can expect an Asian-BBQ menu, exceptional cocktails, and a throwback playlist that gives you the feels.
If you find yourself walking the graffiti-covered streets of Wynwood, follow that wood-fired smell and make your way into KYU. Order the Eggs Benedict with yuzu hollandaise and herb slaw, add the smoked short rib if you’re feeling indulgent, or go for the Steak & Eggs with fire-roasted kimchi, toasted garlic soy, and a sunny-side-up egg.
OSAKA
Neighborhood: Brickell
Address: 1300 Brickell Bay Dr
Cuisine: Peruvian, Nikkei, sushi
Osaka in Brickell is the first North American location of an internationally acclaimed Nikkei restaurant known for its Japanese techniques and Peruvian flavors. The menu features ceviche, tiraditos, makimono, nigiris, and Peruvian izakaya. The restaurant is sleek and upscale, and they also offer a Nikkei brunch on Sunday with dishes like the Nikkei Toast with smoked tuna, wasabi acevichada, avocado, quail egg, and yellow potato brioche, the Chicharrón Bao Seto with crispy pork belly, shiso, sarza criolla, aji amarillo sauce, and homemade bao, and the Niku Sumibiyaki with American wagyu short rib, rocoto truffle sauce, and Andean potato.
BOUCHON BISTRO
Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address: 2101 Galiano St
Cuisine: French
Bouchon Bistro is the second restaurant by Chef Thomas Keller to open in Miami. If you’re into fine dining, you’ve heard of Chef Keller’s acclaimed restaurants, The French Laundry in Napa Valley and Per Se in New York City, as well as his first restaurant in South Florida, The Surf Club Restaurant inside the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club.
Bouchon, situated in the historic La Palma building in Coral Gables, is a classic French restaurant offering dishes like beef tartare, steak frites, and buttery escargots de Bourgogne. For brunch, get the TAK Room Burger, an American wagyu cheeseburger with lettuce, red onion, tomatoes, dill pickles, and secret sauce, served with French fries, or the Croque Madame, a grilled ham and cheese sandwich on brioche with a fried egg and sauce Mornay, also served with French fries.
AMARA AT PARAISO
Neighborhood: Edgewater
Address: 3101 NE 7th Ave
Cuisine: Latin American
If you’re looking for a great outdoor spot to have brunch, check out Amara at Paraiso, Chef Michael Schwartz’s Edgewater restaurant. We love the ocean views, especially when we’re looking to disconnect from the world. Take in the Miami skyline, snap a photo, and dig into their Latin-focused menu.
The buffet has plenty to choose from, starting with salads and appetizers like artisan breads and bagels, seasonal vegetables and salads, and cured meats and cheeses. The raw bar features oysters, chilled shrimp, ceviche, causa, krab roll, and tuna tartare. For eggs and breakfast, expect Spanish tortilla, quiche, breakfast empanadas, bacon, and sausage. Move on to the wood grill with roasted salmon, ribeye, picanha, chorizos, burger sliders, and Peruvian roasted chicken, roasted salmon. And of course, don’t skip the sweets — cookies, brownies, pastries, cakes, tarts.
SADELLE’S
Neighborhood: Coconut Grove
Address: 3321 Mary St
Cuisine: American
You’re going to Sadelle’s if you’re looking for an elevated New York deli experience, except you’re okay with splurging on bagels. Expect bagel towers with all the fixings, including tomato, cucumber, onion & capers. When ordering fish to pair with your bagel, we’d get the sturgeon or the house salmon and skip the bagel tower. Either way, your bagels will be displayed in the tower setting, but you’ll pay $139 less. We also enjoyed their version of a tuna melt that comes in the bagel of your choice, the crispy latkes, seared veal dumplings, pigs in a blanket, and the enormous cobb salad or the Waldorf salad prepared tableside. For something sweet, we recommend the French Toast. On weekends, we recommend you make a reservation; on weekdays, you can probably just walk in.
FOUR SEASONS HOTEL MIAMI
Neighborhood: Brickell
Address: 1435 Brickell Ave
Cuisine: American, steakhouse
You may notice there are only three buffet-style brunches on our list, and that’s for a reason. Buffets can be tricky, and not all of them are good. But we trust anything that is Four Seasons, which is why if you’re looking for something a little closer to the mainland, we recommend the Four Seasons in Brickell. They also have a seafood raw bar, brunch classics, grilled butcher’s cuts like tomahawk steaks, pasta, paella, and desserts. The Classic Brunch with unlimited soft drinks, iced tea, and American coffee is $125 per person.
CASA NANÉ
Neighborhood: Brickell
Address: 1130 SW 2nd Ave
Cuisine: Ecuadorian, bakery
Casa Nané is a new Ecuadorian bistro and bakery that opened its first U.S. location in Maizon Brickell. This all-day cozy spot blends sweet and savory comfort food with a South American twist. Founded by pastry chef Jeanet Hanze and Christian Stagg, Casa Nané is an evolution of their successful Ecuadorian brand, offering a relaxed space to enjoy brunch, lunch, or early dinner. It’s also a good spot to work from if you’re sick of your apartment.
On the menu, you’ll find Ecuadorian staples like bolón (mashed green plantains with cheese or chicharrón), tigrillo (plantain scramble), and fresh ceviches, alongside a lineup of baked goods and cookies in flavors like coconut dulce de leche & macadamia and s’mores. They also have sandwiches, salads, pasta, burgers, and specialty coffees. Casa Nané has indoor and outdoor seating, and delivery is available.
FLOUR & WEIRDOUGHS
Neighborhood: Key Biscayne
Address: 19 Harbor Dr
Cuisine: Modern American, bakery
Flour & Weirdoughs, located in Key Biscayne, offers one of the top brunches in Miami. This fan favorite spot is where you’re going before or after the beach with your friends or family on the weekends.
Flour and Weirdoughs is a rustic bakery that mills its flour in-house. All their sourdough breads are organic and filled with nutrients. If you’re looking for a ready-to-go breakfast item, we’d go for their eggs deep danish with eggs, bacon, and cheese; a simple Basic AF Croissant (yes, that’s the name), ham and cheese croissant, or their famous It’s brisket b*tch croissant named after Britney Spears that comes with provolone, grain mustard, cured brisket (they cure it in-house for 11 days). And let’s just say, this is our favorite croissant in Miami.
If you have time to sit and enjoy a full meal, try their all-day breakfast/brunch menu from Wednesday through Sunday from 8 AM to 2 PM. They have some of the best bread we’ve ever had in Miami, so of course we love their Avocado Toast with baby arugula, fresh tomato, pickled shallots, and grated pecorino. We also love The Jessa sandwich with soft scrambled egg, smoked gouda, caramelized onions, avocado, chipotle mayo, and crunchy chow mein noodles, on a homemade brioche bun. Our favorite eggy dish is the Turkish Eggs with garlic Greek yogurt topped with smoky chili butter, cilantro, and & sunny-side-up eggs served with toast and a lemon wedge. If you’re more into something sweet, go with the Croissant French Toast with whipped cream and drizzled berry compote.
CARACAS BAKERY
Neighborhood: Various locations
Cuisine: Venezuelan, French
Caracas Bakery is a great spot for a casual brunch after the gym. We love the industrial feel of the bakery, balanced out with softer wood finishes that remind us of Japanese bakeries.
You’re stopping by for their artisan bread and a cafe menu that draws inspiration from Venezuelan and French baked goods. They offer different croissants (sweet and savory), pastries, breakfast toasts, eggs, Cachitos (a must), and more.
They have limited indoor seating for those who want to dine in. If you’re looking for a breakfast sandwich, try the BEC with soft scrambled eggs, thick-cut bacon, and cheddar cheese served in their sweet potato bun or the BLT.
This is a great spot to grab a casual bakery brunch on the weekend. However, if you want to get those cachitos, make sure to arrive on the earlier side because they do run out.
TROPICAL CHINESE
Neighborhood: Westchester
Address: 7991 Bird Rd
Cuisine: Chinese
If you’re not into the typical eggs Benedict and French toast for brunch, how about some Dim Sum? Wear the most comfy clothes you own because at Tropical Chinese, you’ll be eating.
This is a great option for brunch haters who love Chinese food. You get to pick and choose from the carts passing by your table with stacks of shrimp shumai, chicken pot stickers, and steamed roasted pork buns. This is the time to try everything, but our favorites are chive and shrimp dumplings.
You can also order à la carte. We love the chicken song tossed with pine nuts, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and shitake mushrooms; salt and pepper spiced prawns; and the Peking duck. The duck is roasted daily. It’s served in two courses and carved table-side. The first course is 10 duck pancakes wrapped with crispy duck skin, scallions, cucumber, and hoisin sauce. The second course is a duck wok with vegetables. Both are delicious and worth it.
AMAL
Neighborhood: Coconut Grove
Address: 3480 Main Hwy
Cuisine: Modern Lebanese
Stop by Amal in Coconut Grove with your suegros or friends who are in the mood to dress up and love to day drink.
The space is so freaking gorgeous. We honestly wouldn’t mind our house looking like this. Imagine, sandy interiors with earth tones like rose and terracotta. They’ve also incorporated small palm trees throughout the restaurant to give it a touch of Miami. Anyway, we could live here because it’s so pretty, but also because the food is fresh and tasty.
The Mediterranean menu focuses on modern Lebanese dishes. For brunch, we loved the Hummus; Truffle Rakakat aka the cheese cigars, finished off with honey, grapes, mint, and pistachios; Kibbeh served with a cucumber yogurt sauce, and the Shakshouka, poached eggs in a spicy tomato sauce (just make sure to ask for a side of bread).
KRÜS KITCHEN
Neighborhood: Coconut Grove
Address: 3413 Main Hwy
Cuisine: Globally-inspired, seasonal kitchen
Tucked away in a cool, laid-back setting on the second floor, this spot in Coconut Grove is all about fresh, seasonal flavors. With a market-like atmosphere, you can dress up or keep it casual – totally up to you.
One of the highlights at Krüs Kitchen is their French Toast. This isn’t your average, run-of-the-mill French toast. We’re talking confit pears, chantilly, maple syrup, and a hint of cognac. And for all you egg fanatics out there (we told you we had some egg dishes in store), pay attention to the Egg Sandwich. They go all out with truffle gribiche, creamy avocado, tangy pickled onions, and bottarga (fancy fish roe). If you’re craving something hearty, the Pastrami Sandwich is one of our favorite dishes. Picture towering layers of tender pastrami, Gooey gouda cheese oozes out from between the slices. The sandwich gets an extra kick from a tangy chili and ginger sauce, elevating the flavors. We also really love the Krüs Burger with grass-fed beef, aged cheddar, pickles, red onions, malt vinegar sauce, and fingerling potato chips.
So, whether you’re looking for a brunch with friends or just need to nurse that hangover, Krüs Kitchen will do the trick and more. Here is where fine dining meets laid-back vibes and where the food is made from scratch.
LOS FÉLIX
Neighborhood: Coconut Grove
Address: 3413 Main Hwy
Cuisine: Mexican
If you love a freshly made corn tortilla and/or arepa, then you need to check out Los Félix in Coconut Grove. Founders Pili Restrepo, Josh Hackler, and chef Sebastián Vargas have created a Mexican menu that respects and follows the traditional and almost extinct Milpa farming techniques of heirloom corn. Los Félix was the first restaurant in Miami to receive a one-star and a Green Star from the Michelin Guide. Here you will find familiar and comforting Latin flavors presented in a refined way.
One of our favorite dishes for brunch is their non-traditional version of Chilaquiles with the option of adding caviar or braised pork belly. Your meal should be paired with a bottle of their thorough selection of natural wine or one of the best Micheladas we’ve had in town while listening to some vinyl records. For a sweeter dish, get the Masa Pancake with seasonal jam, Vermont maple syrup and grassfed butter.
The dishes are pretty small, so we recommend going with one other person so you can get more bites out of a dish.
CHUG’S DINER
Neighborhood: Coconut Grove
Address: 3444 Main Hwy, Suite 21
Cuisine: Cuban, American
If Miami were a diner, Chug’s would be it. This spot brings the Miami Cuban American experience to life with a menu that’ll make you want to have brunch (or breakfast) for all 3 meals of the day. Picture a cozy little diner in Coconut Grove with a great patio for people-watching.
Every dish is a tribute to the city’s Cuban-American roots, from the Cuban-American Sandwich to the Short Rib Boliche served with white rice and sunny-side-up eggs. Some of our favorite savory and caserito dishes.
Order the Cast Iron Pancake, slow-cooked in clarified butter and warm maple syrup, with an order of Beltran’s Bacon, thick steak-cut bacon with smoked maple syrup. If you’re craving something more American, get the Diner Burger. It comes with shredded lettuce, pickles, Chug’s sauce, and American cheese.
EATING HOUSE
Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address: 128 Giralda Ave
Cuisine: American
We all know the struggle of waking up on a Sunday after a crazy night you may or may not remember. You said you’d go to brunch, and thankfully, you didn’t choose a light brunch. You chose Eating House. The destination for a brunch splurge by Chef Giorgio Rapicavoli with dishes like the Eggs ‘Carbonara’ with soft fried eggs, local bread, black truffle, applewood bacon and Parmigiano, Chicken & Waffles with free range chicken breast, buttermilk waffles, Frank’s ranch and smoked maple, the French Dip Burger with Vermont cheddar, caramelized onion, beef au jus and fries, the Loaded Tater Tots with black truffle cream, applewood bacon and lots of Parm, and the Cap’n Crunch Pancakes with vanilla bean butter, condensed milk syrup and candied cereal.
Chef Giorgio takes childhood dishes and makes them grown-up worthy, and trust us, no one can take down those pancakes alone, so order them as your brunch dessert for the table to share.
We recommend making a reservation and sitting on the patio when the weather is nice.
