Spring is beautiful… and when done right, so is brunch. During this cheery season, combine the two with some of our favorite Sunday brunches in Miami. (Fun fact: They ALL involve mimosas.)
Sunday Champagne Brunch at The Biltmore
Everything about The Biltmore Hotel {1200 Anastasia Avenue, Coral Gables; 305.913.3200} is over-the-top–and we’re not complaining! At its Sunday Champagne Brunch, head to the lavish courtyard and feast on an extravagant buffet with caviar, smoked salmon, shellfish, carved meats, fresh omelets, pastas, sushi, a wall of desserts, and more. Perfect for Miami’s finest foodies, this brunch also pairs delicious food with bottomless champagne, Bellini’s, and live entertainment. Brunch runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Sunday, with the last seating at 2 p.m. It costs $90 per adult and $45 per child.
Sunday Sauce Brunch Party at R House
During this brunch fête at R House {2727 NW 2nd Avenue, Wynwood; 305.576.0201}, start with all-you-can-eat appetizers like Mac and Cheese, Grilled Linguiça Pork Sausage, and Scramble with bacon, and move on to one entree of your choice; from Banana Pecan French Toast and Fried Chicken and Biscuit with Gravy, to Short Rib Sliders and Chipotle-Rubbed Pork Ribs. Pair it all with bottomless mimosas, bottomless pitchers of Bye Joe Sangria, and live performances from local DJs, and you’re in for one happy Sunday, indeed. Brunch runs from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Sunday. It costs $40 per adult for brunch and $25 per adult for  bottomless drinks, or $60 for both.
Sunday Asado Brunch at Los Fuegos
Argentinian grillmaster Francis Mallmann knows a thing or two about the revered art of South American live-fire cooking; in fact, he might be the expert on it. Now, Miami’s finest foodies can head to Los Fuegos {3201 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach;786.655.5600}, at the Faena Miami Beach, every Sunday and taste for themselves just what makes this culinary art such a treat. A major social event in Argentina, “asado”–which translates to “open-fire barbecue”–is typically when friends and family gather around traditional, family-style dishes and spend an afternoon catching up. Faena’s brunch version is just as cherished, but in true Faena fashion, a little more extravagant. Spread across a four-course meal, you can feast on plates like Empanadas stuffed with hand-cut prime filet mignon and llajua sauce, Pink Grapefruit Salad with avocado and provoleta, Chorizo with garlic aioli and potato salad, Dulce de Leche-filled Pancakes, and more. Sunday Asado Brunch runs from Noon to 4 p.m. every week. Brunch is priced at $75 per adult and $35 per child. Bottomless mimosas and Bloody Mary’s are available for an additional $25 per adult.
Italian Bubbles & Brunch at Cibo Wine Bar
With two locations in Miami, one in Coral Gables and one in South of Fifth, the chic-meets-delicious Cibo Wine Bar serves up the type of Italian fare South Florida’s finest crave. Stop by on Sunday for the Italian Bubbles + Brunch, which promises everything from an antipasti bar and fresh-made pastas, to just-tossed wood oven pizzas, salads, carved and deli meats, seafood, decadent desserts, and tables upon tables of other Italian specialties. Invite your girlfriends, lover, friends, or colleagues, pair it all with your choice of rosé or Prosecco, and like the Italians, live la dolce vita. Brunch runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday. It is priced at $35 per person.
Sunday Brunch at LT Steak & Seafood
Located in one of Ocean Drive’s most charming hotels, The Betsy, LT Steak & Seafood {1440 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach; 305.531.6100} offers an a la carte Sunday brunch that promises to be as tasty as its surrounding Art Deco hotel is beautiful. Some of our favorite brunch dishes include: Brioche French Toast with orange-plantain marmalade, almond cream, and whipped mascarpone; Avocado & Green Pea Toast with feta and a poached egg on 7-grain bread; and Crispy Black Grouper Tacos with chili aioli, cabbage slaw, and spicy-lime salsa. Throw a mimosa into the mix and you’ll be booking a hotel room in no time.
Brunch at Brasserie Azur
At Brasserie Azur {3252 NE 1st Avenue, Midtown; 786.800.9993}, brunch isn’t just about food; it’s about fun. There’s plenty of wine, a foosball table, and of course… delicious cuisine. The Truffle Pizzetta with truffle mascarpone and mozzarella cheese is not to be missed, as are the Les Pancakes with Nutella and maple syrup, the Short Ribs Taco, the Steak Frites, and you know, everything else on the menu. Brunch runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday. Dishes are a la carte. Bottomless mimosas and bottomless Prosecco are priced at $25 and $35 per adult, respectively, per two-hour period.
Happy dining!
