Where to Eat a Late Lunch in Miami

Many restaurants open for lunch and then close until dinner service. While that’s not a problem for those who eat between noon and 2 pm, it can be inconvenient for those of us who eat lunch a little later. Thankfully, we can always count on these Miami restaurants for an off-hour meal.

Batch Gastropub

If your lunch time is closer to dinner time, then Batch Gastropub is the place to go; the Brickell restaurant opens at 4 p.m. for service. Grab a seat and nosh on duck potstickers, truffle fries, shrimp and lobster rolls, pulled pork sandwiches, and more. The beer selection here is extensive, so plan to stay awhile. The best part: Everything is reasonably priced, so you’ll leave with a full belly and wallet. 

Batch Gastropub is located at 30 SW 12^th Street, Miami, FL 33130. For more information, visit their official website. 

Buya Wynwood

Buya Wynwood is open from lunch to dinner with no break in service. So if you’re craving some tasty Japanese food at 3 or 4 pm, it has you covered. Enjoy specialties like karaage chicken, crispy Hamachi kama, tiger prawn, Tokyo street corn, and more; if you have the time, we strongly suggest the chef’s tasting for $60—it’s quite the deal. Buya also has plenty of beer and sake, too, if you’re feeling thirsty.
