Whether you’re in the mood for savory crepes, mini Kobe beef burgers, lobster quesadillas, raw seafood bars, or Japanese izakaya cuisine, these Brickell restaurants are guaranteed to deliver. We rounded up six of our favorite restaurants serving up the best brunch in Brickell. for you.
Atelier Monnier
Usually, Atelier Monnier is a cute and grounded French bakery with a sweet staff and some imported boutique items for retail sale. Oh, and they love their fine wines too. On the weekends until the early afternoon, they open their doors with brunch in mind. It’s really satisfying to go for that extra French twist for brunch sometimes, like with a savory crepe or monsieur croque. And you can bet your bottom dollar that the authenticity is present. Plus, all of their wonderful sweets and drinks are still available during brunch hours, so a perfect finish is all but guaranteed!
Atelier Monnier is located at 48 Brickell Ave Ste #120, Miami, FL 33131. For more information, visit their official website.
Barsecco
Brunch at Barsecco is always popping. With unlimited mimosas served from noon to 4 p.m.—we’re never missing an opportunity to stop by the Brickell oasis. Not to mention, the restaurant’s global menu will surely cater to every palate in your crew. We recommend Barsecco rookies to go straight for the shareable Smoked Salmon Tower, featuring Norwegian salmon, a tall stack of assorted bagels, and the rest of the perfect bagel shmear party. Other brunch specialties include the creamy avocado burrata toast; the flat iron steak and eggs served with red wine demi; and the Buongiorno breakfast, complete with two farm fresh eggs cooked to your liking, Captain Crunch french toast, Nueske’s smoked bacon or whole hog breakfast sausage, Italian toast, and crispy breakfast potatoes.
If you’re not here for the unlimited mimosas, don’t miss out on the brunch signature cocktail menu, which features the restaurant’s iconic My Little Pony cocktail—totally adorable and unexpectedly strong, with tequila by Lobo 1707, guava, Tropical Red Bull, lemon, and Liqueur 43. As you soak in the beats of a live DJ set amidst plush couch seating, bask in the breezy ambiance of the outdoor patio. It’s the perfect backdrop for lazy weekends and catch-up sessions with your ride-or-dies. It does tend to fill up quickly, so come early.
Cafe Americano
Cafe Americano isn’t new on the Miami scene, but it is a fresh addition to Brickell and comes with some new and exciting brunch options for the local epicurean crowds. Brunch here is served until 11 a.m. and trust, you don’t want to oversleep this one. The diner offers American brunch classics as well as options with a Latin twist. Saucy barbacoa chilaquiles, anyone? The mixology alone is worth a visit. Brunch options include the CA Bloody Mary — a classic; the Morning Coffee (Brugal 1888, cold brew, chocolate liquor & whipped cream); or the Brunch Bubbles (Gray Whale Gin, Lo-Fi Amaro & Q grapefruit sparkling water). We’re willing to bet our bottom dollar we’ll be seeing you here on a weekly basis from now on.
Crazy About You
As if the tranquil view and velvety decor weren’t enough here at Crazy About You, their brunch menu definitely means serious business. Fun fact: they’ve sold over 6 million serrano ham croquettes to date, but that’s neither here, nor there. Classic American fare forged with precision and sometimes slight adaptation is the repertoire here.
Take, for example, the mini burgers, but with Kobe beef. The french toast, but stuffed with Nutella. The straight-up, no-bars-held, fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs. That kind of stuff (yum). Oh, and every brunch comes with a completely free appetizer, which is nothing to shake a stick at. Make it your business to save a brunch day for Crazy About You.
Crazy About You is located at 1155 Brickell Bay Dr #101, Miami, FL 33131. For more information, visit their official website.
Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita
Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita (we never get tired of saying it) does a bit of it all — but on the weekends, brunch steals the show! A bit more context for you: Picture an expansive dining space with a classy, yet, loungy feel, held together by the passion for details and a delicate dedication to service. That’s Dolores. And that all finds its way into immaculate brunch selections like lobster quesadillas or smoked mahi mahi dip with house-fried plantain chips. Can’t forget the classics like eggs benedicts and chicken and waffles. And please please try their skillet cornbread with Wisconsin cheddar and whipped butter! Good stuff.
Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita is located at 1000 S Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33130. For more information, visit their official website.
Edge Steak and Bar
Edge is a steakhouse and bar that isn’t as rough around the edges as you might expect. In fact, the place is rather like a silky-smooth restaurant carrying only a hint of steakhouse nostalgia behind more polished contemporary elements. Regardless, it’s a great place to grab an indoor or outdoor seat and enjoy a lovely Sunday brunch because it’s an experience like no other. These brunches are a set menu including a raw seafood bar, made-to-order pasta, paella, brunch specialties, and more. The brunch experience will vary in price depending on your drinking preferences but is definitely one-of-a-kind in the city of Miami.

Zuma
When in the mood for some fly Japanese flavors during the brunch hour, take a trip over to Zuma Miami, a modern Japanese izakaya with authentic but not quite traditional cuisine. When not on routine izakaya duty, they vend a rather unusual brunch menu that’s sure to excite you. Their brunch is a package deal that includes access to their sushi bar, hot and cold buffets, dessert for the table, and one entree per diner at the behest of the said diner. Top-notch champagne can be added on as well according to their own packages. To boot, some items are available a la carte, if you want to throw in something extra. Definitely, one to add to your “must try” list.
