Best Brunches In Miami Beach

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.

Serena's Rooftop Brunch

Upstairs at the trendy Moxy Miami South Beach hotel you’ll find Serena Rooftop, an open-air 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.

Lido's Brunch on the Bay

Lido Bayside at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach hotel offers a peaceful waterfront experience with stunning views of Biscayne Bay. This spot features dishes like Argentinian poached shrimp, yuzu watermelon salad, vegan scrambles and shakshuka poached eggs. A raw bar has options ranging from oysters to coconut tuna ceviche. Boat docking is offered for a fee. 

Available Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Jaya's Elegant, Bottomless Brunch

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, 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.

Cecconi's 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. Avocado toast with poached eggs and chili, prosciutto with Stracciatella eggs and truffles on toast, and eggs arrabiata are among the brunch choices. 

Available Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Palace's Brunch with a Drag Show

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. The ever-evolving à la carte menu promises meals made from scratch. 

There are two seatings, at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., from Friday to Sunday. Note: Diners must be 18 or older to attend the shows.

Nikki Beach's Beachside Buffet

Nikki Beach’s Amazing Sundays Brunch is aptly named. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy brunch just steps from the beach in the South of Fifth neighborhood. The brunch buffet offers everything from watermelon salads to burgers and fries. 

Available Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Yardbird's Southern Brunch

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.
