Where to find the best brunch in Miami
"Restaurants American Little Haiti / Lemon City. Danny Serfer doubled the size of his hip, cozy diner in MiMo, giving you more room to dig into his delicious hangover-curing, comfort food. Head to the covered patio or the new outdoor beer garden for the usual “eggy stuff” and “syrupy stuff,” including a bacon-egg-and-cheese burrito the size of your head."
"Though in many cities brunch is reserved for Saturday and Sunday, other cities also have people with jobs they can legally explain. Blue Collar gets Miami’s flex schedule lifestyle and offers a full brunch menu all day, every day. So if you’re hankering for brioche French toast, shrimp and grits, or a massive breakfast burrito with chipotle sour cream and 3pm on a Monday, they’re happy to oblige."
"Heath Bar bread pudding and a rotating selection of cakes are what’s curbing sweet tooth craving at MiMo’s Blue Collar. Call ahead to ask what’s available. Rumor has it, the dessert menu is a bit bigger if the order is placed for takeout versus delivery."
"After a hard night of clubbing or bar-hopping, nothing's better than a hefty sandwich from this walk-up counter right off Collins Avenue. Crusty French bread is piled high with your choice of meats (from turkey and prosciutto to pate and smoked salmon), cheeses (fresh mozzarella, swiss, brie) and condiments (never skip the cornichons). If you need a veggie fix, opt for a salad, like the French Riviera (lettuce, tomatos, green and hot peppers, black olives, onions, cucumbers, cornichons, carrots, and egg); all are generous, fresh and tasty."
"This classic sandwich counter in South Beach is open virtually around the clock and functions both as an unrivalled hangover helper and a quick, filling meal before a day at the beach. It serves made-to-order sandwiches stuffed with lettuce, tomato, green peppers, black olives, onions, cucumbers and cornichons on a baguette or croissant with your choice of protein, as well as salads and smoothies. Portions are large enough to share."
"With a location in Brickell and South Beach, La Sandwicherie serves up some of the most satisfying sandwiches you will ever eat. Make sure to try the free vinaigrette on the tables, it’s a game charger."
"When a family of exiled Cuban fishermen open a fish market, you can count of super-fresh fish and seafood. La Camaronera changed its name a few times and quickly grew to serve fish to the neighbors, who would come to munch on fried breaded snapper, drink soda, and discuss politics or sports. Fifty years later, La Camaronera is now a full-sized restaurant, simple and unpretentious, with a small menu of amazing dishes and the best fish sandwiches in town."
"While this seafood staple in Little Havana has been around since 1976, it’s a secret gem for many visitors and even locals. La Camaronera started as a no-frills Cuban fish-fry joint where patrons ate standing up at the counter. It has since added table service, and it’s still home to one of the best fried fish sandwiches in Miami – the signature pan con minuta, a golden-battered snapper sandwich served on a Cuban roll."
"An institution in Miami, locals have been coming here for close to 40 years for its "pan con minuta" sandwich and seafood — that are high in quality but low in prices ranging from $7-8 depending on the market price. Offering takeout and outdoor dining."
"This could be Miami’s best pizza, according to locals who show up in droves. La Pizza piles their pies high with meats and veggies. Their crispy crust holds up to whatever your desires heap on it."
"The chocolate brigadeiro cake at Sagrado Cafe is an indulgent combination of moist layers of chocolate cake and brigadeiros, Brazil's signature truffle. Thanks to sweetened condensed milk in the truffle mixture, the cake remains moist despite the absence of frosting. To add to the richness, mini brigadeiros top the whole thing ($8 to $69 depending upon the size)."
"With an enchanted garden atmosphere, this Brazilian café in downtown Miami is a great place for family bonding time. Kids' meals ($14) start with a sharable warm basket of gluten-free cheese bread and a choice of soda or juice. Then it's on to their own plate of chicken Milanese, served with a side of rice, fries, or mac 'n' cheese."
"Little Havana's Bar Nancy sports rustic, nautical-inspired décor and a healthy selection of craft cocktails. The bar — named for the brigantine Nancy, which transported war supplies during the American Revolution — offers cocktails named after ships or patriotic themes or both. The Abigail Adams is made with Ford’s gin, Giffard crème de pêche, lemon, strawberry, cucumber, and soda; the Stem to Stern consists of apricot-infused Bulleit rye, lemon, apricot jam, and ginger ale."
"Another hotspot, billing itself as a “Cocktail Lounge & Music Emporium,” the Electric Pickle is the place to go for that energized, electronic rhythm with a chilled vibe. Inside, it’s dark and welcoming, with an “anything goes” policy."
"When you spot the decorative cacti out front, you’ll know you’ve arrived at Bakan. This lovely Wynwood restaurant offers traditional Mexican dishes far removed from the taco joints that proliferate throughout Miami. Here you’ll find Oaxacan mole dishes and whole grilled fish (and quesadillas and guacamole if that’s your jam)."
"This Mexican-inspired outpost in the heart of Wynwood, features a variety of regional Mexican dishes and a large assortment of mezcal and tequila offerings all in its well-covered outdoor patio that prevents guests from too much heat or rain."
"The only thing maybe a little ordinary about this place is the outside. From then on, it is all nothing short of extraordinary. The minute you step in, you can feel the old Cuba vibes of the ‘50s."
