Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Venetian Islands

"Juvia, the stunning restaurant on the rooftop of the iconic 1111 Lincoln Road building in South Beach, features a brunch menu worthy of its postcard-perfect setting. The restaurant is known for its harmonious blending of French, Japanese and Peruvian cooking styles. Start with bottomless cocktails such as Aperol spritz, prosecco or mimosas before tucking into an inventive appetizer like ceviche carretillero with white fish, crispy calamari and red onions."

"Listen, stunning views don’t alway equal romance, but at Juvia they sure do. Head to the top of the 1111 building to enjoy an evening of art deco design and a lush green plant wall that cascades down the sides of this restaurant’s impressive terrace. Oh, and did we mention the sweeping views of Miami Beach?"

"Restaurants South Beach. This popular Lincoln Road spot offers sweeping views of South Beach. Sadly, the views aren’t the only thing that’s sky-high—just wait for the bill."

"Big Pink is a retro-style hangout spot located on Collins Ave that serves a huge menu of comfort food in a 50’s style environment. The restaurant was started in 1996 and has become a favorite among the locals for its huge menu which includes more than 200 delicious items including daily specials. Whether you want a delicious breakfast or a late-night snack this is the place to go."

"With its diner decor and multiple TVs, Big Pink has plenty to keep your kids busy. Come with your appetite; the restaurant is known for its enormous portions. Kids love the Big Pink TV dinner, which comes on a funky metal tray."

"Located on Collins Ave., The Big Pink is home to some of the most outstanding comfort food a human being can indulge in. From the Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie to the Chocolate Skyscraper Cake, this cafe is a must."

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants American Little Haiti / Lemon City. Blue Collar’s portions are to be both admired and feared. Chef Daniel Serfer’s cozy MiMo spot apparently swore a blood oath to never send a patron home hungry and has been making good on that promise with delicious Caribbean, New Orleans and Jewish comfort food."

"Danny Serfer’s Blue Collar takes its cues from the classic American diner. The tiny restaurant in the MiMo District offers daily specials and elevated comfort foods. Start with a gutsy New Orleans-style dish of shrimp and grits with bacon and Worcestershire-based barbecue sauce, or Chanukah latkes (served year-round)."

"Restaurants Seafood Downtown. Area 31’s 16th-floor lounge may not technically be on the roof, but its view of Downtown is hard to beat. A photo op here is one you'll be tempted to caption with “I live where you vacation,” but don't be that guy."

"Area 31 is on the 16th floor of the Epic Hotel, which means it boasts spectacular views across Biscayne Bay, Miami River, and the city skyline. The restaurant takes its name from Fishing Area 31, which is from where most of the ingredients are sourced. This area is an ecologically sustainable fishery."

"Editor's Note: Photo taken from the establishment's official social account. A post shared by Area 31 (@area31miami) on Sep 14, 2017 at 2:10pm PDT. On the 16th floor of the EPIC hotel is Area 31."

"91 SE 2nd St, Miami FLIn Peru, establishments known assangucherías serve all sorts of sandwiches in usually humble settings. Modelled after these very sangucherías, Station 28 is a cosy, beautiful establishment in downtown Miami that is the perfect lunch spot for those who enjoy casual outdoor lunches on the go. It offers an incredibly limited number of breakfast dishes such as burgers with fried eggs, bananas, and sauce as toppings."

"Station 28 is a hidden gem for a number of reasons: it’s super affordable, the food is tasty, and it has a great vibe. You can get a Peruvian burger or sandwich for super cheap and they also have a cool selection of natural fruit juices. But beyond the food, Station 28 also has a hidden upstairs area with all kinds of live entertainment, including theater, live music, and stand-up comedy."

"MO Bar is the kind of tasteful lounge you frequent for a relaxed ambience and high-class service. From the main bar area to window-side tables, you can create cozy enclaves for up to four people, and the only time you might lightly struggle to hear your friends is on a Friday or Saturday night when sultry, live music will either inspire you to rumba or to sink further into your velvet armchair. A prominent feature in Brickell Key’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the spacious lounge offers incredible views of the Miami skyline, and with a daily “social” hour from 5pm-8pm, you can catch a colorful sunset without spending more than $10 for a drink."

"Right from the day time to gorgeous nights, you can enjoy anytime in the high bar. There are private cabanas, bottle service, and DJ to let your body groove on the dropping beats. Luckily, it’s just a few walks away from the beach, which is undoubtedly an excellent place to relax after a sunbath."

"5 out of 5 stars Restaurants American Brickell. Though some may see American Social as more of a bar (especially on the weekend, when Brickell’s young and restless drink like fish) this Lauderdale import has a kitchen that deserves respect. If the weather’s nice, grab a stars-and-stripes couch on the covered patio and order away: fried chicken and waffles with bourbon mascarpone, salmon burgers, truffle mac and cheese and more filling choices."

"Restaurants American Brickell. Get the atmosphere of a sports bar, the craft beer selection of a gastropub and the views of a waterfront restaurant at this Brickell mainstay on the Miami River. American Social serves, well, American food with an emphasis on comfort classics—find chicken and waffles, steak and eggs, biscuits and gravy, and more."

"The Tank Brewing Co. is one of the newer breweries in Miami, and it’s pretty impressive, too. Home to a 4,000 square-foot tap room that can host up to 600 people, go here for 16 different Miami-inspired brews on tap, like La Finca Miami, Freedom Tower, La Playita, Byronic Brown, Rye-Lingual, El Farito and more. When you need some food to soak up the alcohol, fill up on chicken chicharrones, wings, tostonnes, tempura cauliflower, ham croqueta preparada, guava manchego burger, bacon burger or the “Angry Vegetarian” and bone marrow fried chips from Twisted Fork Kitchen, which sits in-house at The Tank Brewing Co. 5100 NW 72nd Avenue, Bay A1, Miami, FL 33166."

"At The Tank, cigars and beer don’t make for such strange bedfellows. Clocking in at 25,000-square-feet, there’s plenty of room for brewing, drinking and then lighting up a stogie at the adjacent cigar lounge. From an English-style brown ale to a tropical pale ale, the brewery’s three-barrel system allows them to crank out a new beer every week."

"Bars Breweries Medley. Happy hour: Yes, Mon–Fri 4–6pm. Standout beer: El Farito IPA"

"After a morning of fun, the day continues with a stop at Bal Harbour Shop and lunch at Makoto, or one of the many other renown restaurants in the area. Makoto is one of the best sushi restaurants in Miami with an extensive menu with the freshest fish available. Our favorite dish is the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, a twist on a deconstructed spicy tuna roll with crispy rice instead of traditional sushi rice."

"Bal Harbour Shops is an upscale open-air shopping mall in Bal Harbour, a wealthy suburb of Miami, Florida, known internationally for its collection…"

"Miami International Mall is a shopping mall in Doral, Florida in western Metropolitan Miami, and so named because it is close to Miami International…"

"For nearly 40 years, Redland Market Village on South Dixie Highway in Miami has been a family-owned business that’s part flea market, part farmers market, and part live entertainment venue. The market is spread over nearly 30 acres and includes a variety of internationally influenced food trucks, arts and crafts, collectibles, and a seafood market that’s known for its wide selection of fresh fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. The market is the perfect place to spend a few morning or afternoon hours on the weekend, rubbing elbows with the locals and browsing their unique selection of Florida made and grown products."

"Cheesecake Factory serves brunch favorites like Fried Chicken Eggs Benedict, Bruleed French Toast & More. The Saturday and Sunday brunch menu is available from 10am to 2pm. Coral Gables Love reader Shayla says, “Eggs Benedict and the monte cristo breakfast sandwich!"

"5 out of 5 stars Restaurants American Coral Gables. Arguably some of the best burgers in the land, Danny Meyer’s Shake Shack knows how to deliver a tasty patty. The Coral Gables outpost has foosball, shuffleboard and ping pong—all sure to keep the kids busy while you wait for your frozen custard concrete."

"Shack Shack’s massive Coral Gables location is a family favorite for a reason. Aside from the restaurant’s legendary burgers and fries (and what kid doesn’t love burgers and fries?) it offers fooseball and ping pong tables, plenty of seating, and a just-loud-enough atmosphere that kids can be themselves without wrecking havoc on other guests."
