8 New Brunch Spots to Add to Your Rotation, Stat

These brunches are a welcome break from the same old eggs-and-pancakes routine: From a literal tower of macarons to fluffy white-corn arepas, we ate our way through Miami to give you the eight best new brunch spots you’ve got to try, starting this weekend.

21 Things You Must Eat in Miami Before You Die


Stubborn Seed

We know you’ve been to Top Chef Jeremy Ford’s new Miami Beach restaurant for dinner. But what about brunch? Trust us, you need to try his chai waffles, snickerdoodle cookies, buttermilk biscuits and pork belly ASAP. No food coma has ever been more worth it.

101 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 786-322-5211 or stubbornseed.com

Zuma

The only thing better than Zuma’s miso marinated black cod? The brunch version, which means you’ll get that plus unlimited visits to a sweet and savory buffet stocked with buttermilk fried chicken, bao buns, sushi and sashimi, and a dessert platter fit for a king.

270 Biscayne Blvd. Way, Miami; 305-577-0277 or zumarestaurant.com

Soul Tavern

Come on, try to tell us that this lush and leafy garden doesn’t look like somewhere you’d want to spend your Sunday. Order some avocado toast with a tofu scramble on the side. Oh, and don’t forget the white-chocolate doughnut and bourbon ice cream for dessert.  

1801 West Ave., Miami Beach; 305-925-0799 or soultavern.com

The Bazaar By José Andrés At Sls South Beach

South Beach: Come for the people-watching, stay for an epic brunch buffet with everything from crudos, ceviches and meats to freshly baked pastries and dessert stations.

1701 Collins Ave., South Beach; 305-455-2999 or sbe.com

Stiltsville Fish Bar

Excellent news: One of our favorite spots for seafood and ’Gram-worthy vibes just opened for brunch. And we can’t wait to try the hummingbird waffle topped with rum caramel, charred pineapple and mascarpone whip. And the blue crab cake eggs Benedict. And, of course, sugar-dusted beignets.  

1787 Purdy Ave., Miami Beach; 786-353-0477 or stiltsvillefishbar.com

Habitat At The 1 Hotel

Yep, you read that right: Jose Mendin’s new restaurant at the 1 Hotel has officially entered the brunch game. The menu features French-toast sticks, build-your-own omelets, and avocado tartines topped with manchego and pumpkin romesco.  

2395 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-604-6700 or 1hotels.com

Amara At Paraiso

We don’t know how we survived this long without these fluffy white-corn arepas topped with queso fresco and a poached egg, but we’re happy that we never have to go another weekend without it.

3101 NE 7th Ave., Miami; 305-702-5528 or amaraatparaiso.com

St. Regis Bal Harbour

This swanky hotel knows its way around a brunch menu with options like tuna tartare, vanilla waffles, sweet croissants, ricotta cheese blintzes and smoked-salmon bagels. There’s a pretty delightful macaron display situation going on, too.

9703 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-993-3300 or stregisbalharbour.com
