Is there anything better than a leisurely Sunday brunch? At these six spots, you’ll find that good food, great company, and an unbeatable atmosphere come together for some weekend magic. Get ready to dig in!

Carpaccio

Carpaccio has been doing its thing for years, serving fresh carpaccio (obviously), tasty pastas and pizzas, and generous portions to a loyal crowd that appreciates the classics. Sit outside, sip something cold, and lean into the art of doing nothing… beautifully. Just consistent quality in a spot that’s quietly iconic. Don’t forget an Aperol Spritz. 

Eating House

Eating House is where childhood comfort food meets chef-driven innovation, creating a brunch menu that’s as surprising as it is satisfying. You’ll find more traditional items like smoked salmon tartine and chicken and waffles alongside whimsical Cap’n Crunch pancakes and carbonara Benedict. Eating House doesn’t play it safe – it plays it fun. It’s brunch that refuses to behave, and that’s exactly why we love it.

Eating House is located at 128 Giralda Ave, Coral Gables, FL 33134. For more information, visit their official website

Elia on the River

Southern Italian, dockside in Miami. Elia on the River feels like a nice afternoon on the Amalfi Coast, without leaving the 305. The setting is pure waterfront serenity, and the menu delivers many of the sun-kissed European flavors you’d expect: burrata, octopus, grilled branzino, and pasta that somehow tastes even better when there’s a yacht in view. But what really sets the tone? A great drink in hand. Whether it’s something bubbly, botanical, or boldly citrusy, the cocktails here turn brunch into something that feels like vacation.

Rusty Pelican

Some places just get it, and Rusty Pelican on Key Biscayne is one of them. This is where your Sunday feels like a mini holiday, with incredible views of the city skyline and a diverse menu that hits all the right notes. Craving something classic? Their French toast won’t disappoint. Feeling adventurous? The quesabirria and the crab cake Benedict are showstoppers. It’s the kind of effortless luxury and deliciousness that makes you remember why you love Sundays in Miami.

Rusty Pelican is located at 3201 Rickenbacker Cwy, Key Biscayne, FL 33149. For more information, visit their official website.

Sadelle’s 

You’re not just eating brunch at Sadelle’s. You’re starring in it. At this Coconut Grove hotspot, everything is a little more theatrical – in the best way. Expect no shortage of towers stacked with smoked salmon, cucumbers, tomatoes, and other delights; it’s edible architecture. The bagels are great, the coffee is strong, and the Grove breeze on the patio just keeps things feeling easy. And yes, you will want to take a picture before you dig in.

Sadelle’s is located at 3321 Mary St, Miami, FL 33133. For more information, visit their official website

Tropical Chinese

One bite in and you’ll understand why Tropical Chinese has a brunch line out the door. Their dim sum game is unmatched with fluffy buns, delicate dumplings, crispy shrimp balls, and all the steamy, savory bites you could dream of. There’s a rhythm to the place: carts whizzing by, pots of tea clinking, the soft hiss of bamboo steamers opening. It’s loud, it’s delicious, it’s everything a proper dim sum feast should be.

Tropical Chinese is located at 7991 Bird Rd, Miami, FL 33155. For more information, visit their official website
