Pastis

Weekends: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

If you’re looking for a brunch where you can dress up a little and feel fancy while dining in a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere, Pastis is the place. 

This New York transplant serves everything from French pastries and quiche Lorraine to French toast with strawberries, and its main menu features a beloved cheeseburger, chicken paillard, oysters, shrimp, king crabs, mussels with fries, a croque monsieur and more. Dine outside for cafe-style charm in the heart of Wynwood.

R House

Weekends: 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m

You’ll have a wild time at R House in Wynwood, which hosts two epic brunch drag shows a day on weekends. You’ll find large groups celebrating birthdays and bachelorette parties, dollar bills flying and everyone having a great time. It’s the kind of spot where you’re so wrapped up in the entertainment, you might forget there’s food involved.

For $65 a person, you get bottomless mimosas, sangria and soft drinks (with the option to upgrade to fancier offerings), plus a family-style food menu with fried chicken, a seasonal salad, French toast, avocado toast and more. Be sure to reserve your showtimes in advance.

Pinch Kitchen+Bar

Friday, Saturday and Sunday: noon to 5 p.m.

A casual neighborhood spot that's easy to miss when you’re driving down Biscayne Boulevard in the Upper East Side, Pinch Kitchen+Bar is a cozy, family-owned restaurant that’s been a favorite for over a decade. 

While the menu has many options, there are two that you must try: the juicy, perfectly dressed Pinch burger with Swiss cheese and aioli on a brioche bun and the massive, guava-stuffed brioche French toast with whipped cream and maple syrup.

It’s a small spot, best for tables of two to four, and ideal for those who want to take advantage of brunch with the bottomless mimosas package.

Zuma Miami

Saturday: noon to 3 p.m. |

Sunday: 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

In Downtown Miami along the Miami River, you’ll find Zuma Miami serving one of Miami's most indulgent weekend brunch experiences. The lavish spread includes a hot bar, cold bar, raw bar, sushi stations and live cooking stations serving expertly prepared steaks, seafood and other Japanese-inspired specialties.

Guests can choose from several brunch packages, including a $98 option with unlimited food, or elevate the experience with packages that include Champagne, cocktails and a welcome caviar service ($148), rosé ($168) or unlimited Dom Pérignon ($358). 

A special food-only brunch is also available for children ages 5 to 12. Make sure to leave room for the restaurant's impressive dessert platter.

Phuc Yea

Sunday: noon to 3 p.m.

Sunday brunch is anything but ordinary at Phuc Yea – in fact, sometimes it turns into an unexpected party thanks to the old school hip-hop playlist and cozy, but funky vibes. This MICHELIN Bib Gourmand recipient is a globally influenced Vietnamese restaurant in the Upper East Side that serves a menu filled with bold flavors and fun dishes inspired by co-owner Ani Meinhold’s Vietnamese background. 

From a lemongrass fried chicken banh mi and French toast made with croissants and topped with bourbon custard to freshly shucked oysters and massive bowls of sancocho-style pho (great for sharing on those hangover days), Phuc Yea has one of the most fun brunch menus in Miami. Plus, there are $35 bottomless Bellinis, "tropi-mosas,” Bloody Marys and Bloody Marias.

Eating House

Weekends: 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

You can’t talk about the best brunches in Miami without including Eating House. This Coral Gables staple is the brainchild of Chopped champion, Miami’s own Giorgio Rapicavoli.

While it’s matured quite a bit from its early days, there are still plenty of fun brunch options, like the legendary Cap’n Crunch pancakes, crispy tater tots with black truffle ketchup, a frita burger with guava bacon jam and a breakfast sandwich with fluffy eggs and Vermont cheddar.

Sit outside to take in the leisurely crowds strolling Giralda Avenue, or snag an indoor table where you’ll get a taste of the O.G. Eating House outpost.

Tinta y Café

Monday to Friday: 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. | weekends: 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Sometimes when it comes to brunch, you’re looking for a really laid-back spot where you can talk with a friend or two as you sip your coffee and catch up. No frills, no fanfare and no laptops allowed – just casual vibes and good food. At Tinta y Cafe, you’ll find just that every day of the week. 

As a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand recommendation for quality and value, it’s ideal for coffee paired with salads and sandwiches made with simple ingredients. Fan favorites include the cafe con leche, the ham and cheese tostada and the Callejero made with chicken, prosciutto, cantimpalo, manchego cheese, caramelized onions and house-made cilantro mayo.

There’s a Coral Gables location and another in Miami Shores, a true neighborhood gem where everyone is treated like a regular.

Fooq's

Sunday: noon to 3 p.m.

Start your Sunday with a Persian-American inspired brunch at Fooq's, where you’ll find bold flavors and thoughtful cooking. The menu ranges from fresh baked pastries and a gravlax platter with house-cured salmon to comforting favorites like shakshuka, fluffy pancakes and the signature chicken fried quail.

Heartier options, including picanha frites and the beloved Fooq's burger, make it easy to satisfy any brunch craving. Pair your meal with a creative cocktail, whether it's the house Bloody Mary, a Matcha-Hillo or a classic mimosa, then linger over one of the restaurant's incredible desserts.

Café Bastille

Daily: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For a taste of Paris, head to Café Bastille, where the all-day brunch effortlessly blends French café culture with Mediterranean influences and Miami flair. The menu features everything from Turkish eggs and Bae's Shakshuka to the French burrito and thick-cut classic French toast.

This kitchen focuses on high-quality ingredients, like free-range chicken, cage-free eggs and 100% beef tallow for frying. Round out your meal with ceremonial-grade matcha, expertly crafted espresso or a brunch cocktail before soaking in the lively atmosphere that has made Café Bastille a local favorite.
