The Best Miami Spots for a Work-From-Home Break

Working from home doesn’t mean staying home all day. These restaurants are ideal for WFH breaks, whether you’ve got time for a full lunch or just enough for coffee and a quick bite.

Bayshore Club

If your work-from-home break needs air, space, and perspective, Bayshore Club delivers. Expect casual coastal food, marina views, and a breeze that reminds you why Miami is home. One visit and your “quick lunch” becomes a mental vacation. Highlights include the shrimp cocktail, sticky baby back ribs, and the 3 Amigos smash burger. The view speaks for itself.

Bayshore Club is located at 3391 Pan American Dr., Miami, FL 33133. For more information, visit their official website.

Cafe Demetrio

You don’t need a long lunch to feel refreshed. Even a quick stop at Cafe Demetrio—coffee in hand, patio seat secured—is enough to reset your mindset and make the rest of the day feel lighter. The menu makes it easy to grab exactly what you need in the moment, whether that’s a quick caffeine boost or a casual bite that feels like a reward. If you have the time, get a steak Benny Benedict or an Italian hero sandwich. Throw in their signature namesake cappuccino or a glass of wine, and you’ll forget all about work.

Cafe Demetrio is located at 300 Alhambra Cir., Coral Gables, FL 33134. For more information, visit their official website.

Gramps Getaway

Gramps Getaway leans fully into its location. Sitting on the water in Key Biscayne, it offers the kind of atmosphere that feels removed from the city without being far away. It’s casual, comfortable, and makes it easy to take your mind off things. Come for a quick drink, nosh on some buffalo wings or their famous fish sandwich, and just relax—you deserve this.

Gramps Getaway is located at 3301 Rickenbacker Cswy., Key Biscayne, FL 33149. For more information, visit their official Instagram.

Kitchen 57

Kitchen 57 is the definition of a dependable escape. It’s comfortable, welcoming, and versatile enough to match whatever kind of break you need that day. Whether you’re craving something lighter, leaning toward comfort food, or rewarding yourself with a cocktail, the menu gives you plenty of tasty options. The vibe is relaxed but lively: perfect for a solo lunch, a casual meet-up, or even a low-stakes work catch-up. You can be in and out efficiently, or hang out a bit longer without feeling rushed. Must-tries: the zucchini fries, Philly grilled cheese, and cioppino.

Kitchen 57 is located at 7301 SW 57th Court, Suite 100, South Miami, FL 33143. For more information, visit their official website.

Mandolin Aegean Bistro

Mandolin feels like a midday flight to the Aegean—no boarding pass required. Bright mezze, perfectly grilled seafood, and plates built for sharing land on the table fast, while the leafy courtyard slows everything else down. You come hungry. You leave lighter, mentally at least. Some menu items to consider: the spicy lobster orzo, the manti dumplings, and the baked feta. Heck, it’s all good.

Mandolin Aegean Bistro is located at 4312 NE 2nd Ave., Miami, FL 33137. For more information, visit their official website.

Pastis

Pastis’ courtyard alone is worth the trip. Sitting outside, surrounded by lively characters and conversation, creates instant separation from your to-do list. Pair that with French brasserie staples and suddenly your WFH day feels less repetitive and more inspired. Our recommendation: get a martini while you enjoy some oysters and steak frites; the warm shrimp salad is another winner.

Pastis is located at 380 NW 26th St., Miami, FL 33127. For more information, visit their official website.
