Best Brunch Spots in Miami

   Brunch here is done a little bit differently than traditional brunches in other cities. Instead of eggs benedict while soft music plays in the background of your meal with your parents, Miami likes to go big. Our brunches are much later, boozier, more festive, and more scantily clad. Sometimes they’re even by a pool! Wearing your "Sunday best" means finding your flashiest loungewear and getting ready for selfies and suntans.

   In Miami, it's hard to find the perfect combination of service, ambiance, value, and food quality, but these are Wildchild Society's selections for Brunch! Click on the images for links to the restaurants' website.

Bachour Bakery + Bistro

This beautiful restaurant is the most popular brunch spot in Brickell. From savory food to carefully crafted baked delights, there is something for everyone on the menu. Get here early though, it is first come first serve.

Juvia

If you’re into modern décor and something fun, head to Juvia. Located on a swanky rooftop designer parking garage, this restaurant offers brunch with an incredible view just off of Lincoln Road. Enjoy a decadent meal in style here.

Prime Fish

Prime Fish is run by the same owner that runs the show behind Prime 112. Prime Fish is a seafood heaven where a standard rate of $55 per person will get you a buffet to run home about! Dining here is really a steal- you get sushi, salad, an egg menu and dessert stand with wait for it…. Bottomless Drinks! Omg!

Bazaar Mar by Jose Andres

This is really what brunch is all about: Champagne and scrumptious meals. For $95 per person, you get a spread of king crab, oysters, smoked salmon tartar, nutella pancakes, dungeness crab benedict and bottomless Moet & Chandon. With an increase in price comes caviar and luxury champagnes including Dom Perignon at the top tier.

Jaya

Feeling fancy? Head to Jaya on a Sunday to enjoy their Jazz brunch at Setai. There’ a raw bar, Indian cuisine as well as the normal waffles and pancakes. There’s unlimited Louis Roederer Champagne, Mimosas, and Bloody Marys- but don’t sleep in. Brunch is only served from 11am-3pm.

Naiyara

As the name suggests, this is a Thai brunch spot and I will say it’s my favorite Thai spot ( we all know it’s almost impossible to find decent Thai food in Miami Beach, but I am partial). This brunch features traditional thai fried egg salad, Korean steak and eggs, Bahn Mi sandwiches, and Rotti. Sundays, get your fix in from noon to 3pm.

Palace Bar

Two words: DRAG SHOW! For the minimal price of $39.95, you get a brunch buffet and so much more. There’s two seatings on Saturdays and Sundays at 11:30am and 2pm. If you’re feeling salty, there are unlimited margaritas on Saturday and if you’re feeling sweet, check out the unlimited mimosas on Sunday.

Cecconi’s @ Soho

This brunch features five amazing stations for only $45 per person. The “Sunday Feast” features a sweet station with pancakes, waffles and the like, a raw bar, a carving station, a cold cuts station, and a personalized egg station. On top of that, you get a complimentary bellini or juice with your meal!

Zuma

You want unlimited Bloody Marys or Japanese Sangria? Look no further! Zuma runs a brunch with an open sushi bar, robata counter for hot and cold dishes, and some kick-ass main entrée items. They have angus skirt steak, barley miso corn-fed chicken, and salt grilled sea bass. There’s also an assorted veggie option. Remember to opt in for the Zuma signature dessert platter- or maybe just get one of those plus some Sangria, and call it a day!

Nikki Beach

No Miami brunch list is complete without showing love to Nikki Beach. This long-running and legendary brunch spot is a staple for anyone who wants to enjoy a more refined brunch by the ocean.. Featuring five stations including sushi, carving, omlettes, paella and crepes, Niki Beach really pulls out the stops for a Miami experience.

Kiki on the River

Kiki on the River is the new kid on the block. A decadent, waterfront Greek restaurant and lounge from the people behind such marvels as B.E.D., Philippe Chow and the Opium Group, Kiki hosts a boozy brunch for Miami's elite. Equipped with a yacht dock, you can be sure to brush elbows with celebs- but don't forget to make reservations and be prepared to drop major guap!
