Beach life is meant for brunching. Nothing pairs with Miami Beach’s waterfront views and ocean vibes like a lazy two-hour brunch with cocktails. You’ll find everything from bottomless brunches and rooftop views to drag shows and bayside spots. Here are some of our favorites.

Rooftop dining area at Serena — Enjoy nice views with your brunch at Serena

Oceanfront Rooftop Bar and Bites with a View

Upstairs at the trendy Moxy Miami South Beach hotel you’ll find Serena Miami, an open-air rooftop restaurant and bar that plays to its strengths: cool breezes and patio dining centered around dishes from Oaxaca and Mexico City. Live music and shareable dishes invite friends and family to stay awhile to enjoy the food, the view and the vibe. The bottomless brunch includes dishes like huevos rancheros and tres leches French toast. Available Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Call it the best-of-the-best in brunching. The Caviar & Champagne bottomless brunch at Jaya at The Setai Miami Beach hotel offers a splurge-worthy two-hour, fixed-price meal that lives up to its name. A caviar station with all the accompaniments, Peking duck, premium grilled steak, poultry, fish and a seafood tower offer every high-end delicacy imaginable. Louis Roederer Champagne flows freely, not to mention a host of cocktails from The Setai’s Mojito and Espresso Martini Bar. Reservations are required, and there is a casual-elegant dress code. Available Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

A Modern Outdoor Italian Sunday Brunch

The garden of Soho Beach House is home to Cecconi’s Miami Beach, a modern Italian restaurant with a whimsical patio perfect for an open-air weekend brunch. The Italian brunch buffet offers an option with one cocktail included or a bottomless brunch option with unlimited drinks.

Drag performer at the Palace — Prepare for fun at The Palace's brunch

A Renowned Drag Show with a Meal to Match

For a vibrant brunch and a show, it’s hard to beat Palace. Show-stopping drag performers – beautiful, hilarious and over the top – are the stars of the show.

Chicken and waffles at YardBird — Head to Yardbird for a Southern brunch

Southern Cooking in South Beach

The weekend brunch at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar has been a Miami Beach favorite for over a decade. That’s thanks in part to a rich Southern brunch menu that includes favorites like chicken & waffles, shrimp & grits, smoked brisket sandwiches, freshly baked cinnamon rolls, and egg dishes that range from epic deviled eggs to a bourbon-maple hickory smoked bacon eggs Benedict. The blackberry bourbon lemonade is a boozy thirst quencher and a go-to for regulars. Available Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
