the spots that make waking up before noon worth it.

TMM Pick
Brickell · Japanese

Zuma's Sunday brunch is one of the most indulgent in Miami. The spread covers the full menu plus brunch-specific additions, and the setting on the river is hard to beat. It's a long, good afternoon if you let it be.

must have: miso black cod, robata, brunch set menu

sunday brunch only · reservations required

Sesame
$$
TMM Pick
Miami · Brunch

One of the best weekend morning spots in the city. The food is thoughtful, the coffee is good, and the room doesn't feel like a factory. A proper brunch destination that earns the repeat visit.

Caracas Bakery
$
Multiple Locations · Venezuelan

A Miami institution. Caracas Bakery does Venezuelan breakfast and pastries better than anywhere in the city. The tequeños, cachitos, and pastelitos are the main event. Early morning, no frills, exactly right.

must have: tequeños, cachito de jamon, pastelitos

early morning daily

Facade
$$
Miami · Brunch

A weekend brunch spot that delivers on both food and atmosphere. The kind of place the city needed more of: good drinks, solid cooking, a crowd that is actually there for the meal. Worth booking ahead on weekends.

must have: weekend brunch specials

Miami Beach · Southern

The benchmark for Miami Beach brunch. Fried chicken, waffles, biscuits, and a Bloody Mary that earns its reputation. It gets packed on weekends but the food holds up. Plan ahead.

must have: chicken and watermelon, biscuits, Bloody Mary

brunch sat-sun · reservations recommended

Jaya at the Setai
$$$
South Beach · Asian

The Setai's weekend brunch runs at a different speed from the rest of Miami. Pan-Asian cooking in one of the most beautiful hotel settings in the city. The pool courtyard adds to the whole thing. Good for a slow, elevated weekend morning.

must have: dim sum selection, weekend brunch menu

weekend brunch · reservations recommended

Edgewater · Wine Bar

Not a traditional brunch spot, but one of the best weekend experiences in the city. Bring friends, grab wine and cheese, sit outside in the backyard. The vibe is unhurried and the crowd is local. One of those places that feels like Miami at its best.

must have: charcuterie board, natural wine

open daily from late morning · no reservations

Mandolin Aegean Bistro
$$
Upper East Side · Greek

Weekend brunch in the garden at Mandolin is one of those things you do once and keep going back for. Greek and Turkish mezze, good coffee, a patio that feels tucked away from everything. Relaxed and excellent.

must have: labneh, hummus, shakshuka, spanakopita

brunch sat-sun

Wynwood · Bakery

The best bakery in Miami. Weekend mornings here are unhurried: good coffee, excellent bread, pastries done right. Not a traditional brunch destination, but one of the best ways to start a Saturday in the city.

must have: challah, rugelach, anything out of the oven

open mornings daily, closed saturday
