Get a Bloody Mary at The Strand Bar & Grill’s Sunday Brunch.
In Miami, we don’t take our hotel life lightly. So now that the iconic Carillon Miami Wellness Resort is turning 60, you better believe every corner of the resort is celebrating! That includes its barely three-month-old, but already-popular neighborhood restaurant and bar, The Strand Bar & Grill {6801 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 305.514.7474}.
To really give this luxurious, wellness-inspired resort the respect it deserves, The Strand Bar & Grill has added a few must-try food events to its weekly calendar. Kicking it off with something we all know and love—a good drink deal—the restaurant has added a new happy hour from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily, as well as a Thursday Champagne special. Grab your friends and go to happy hour, where you can enjoy specially-priced beer, wine, cocktails, and light bites. Then, on Thursdays, get the weekend started early with $60 bottles of Henriot champagne all day long, in honor of the resort’s 60th anniversary.
Even more exciting, however, is The Strand Bar & Grill’s new Sunday brunch, which will kick off this Sunday, February 11, and continue weekly through the end of the year. Running from Noon to 4 p.m., it’s here that Executive Chef Stephen Ullrich and the Carillon’s in-house expert nutritionist, Monika Arenas, collaborate to create a decadent brunch with guilt-free options for health-conscious brunch lovers. Expect Chef Ullrich’s sweet-and-savory brunch classics: like the Bucatini Carbonara with guanciale, black pepper, chives, and parmesan; Sheep’s Milk Ricotta with gala apples, truffle honey, and Strand toast; Sunday Burger with bacon-onion jam, avocado, heirloom tomato, and romaine lettuce; and Brunch Burrito with scrambled eggs, chorizo, potato, bell peppers, and manchego. If you’re craving something a little lighter, there are plenty of options for that, too. Graze on organic dishes like Tabbouleh with couscous, tomato, cucumber, mint, olive, and lemon vinaigrette; Smoked Carrot Hummus with pepitas, vadouvan, and house-made lavash; the Green Breakfast Bowl with kale, feta, quinoa, almonds, avocado, and a hard-boiled egg; or Eggs in Purgatory with baked eggs, spicy tomato sauce, white beans, feta, red onion, and migas.
To really give you a reason to celebrate, pair it all with bottomless mimosas and rosé for just $25 per person while you sway to live music from jazz-reggae-pop group, Miami Musicians Band.
Reservations for brunch are recommended and can be made here. Reduced valet parking is available for $10 with restaurant validation.
Happy dining!
