Sunday Jazz Brunch at Jaya at The Setai


Still haven’t made those Easter plans? Check out some of the festive feasts at our favorite Miami restaurants below. All promise to make it your tastiest Easter yet.
NaiYaRa
Just like this Sunset Harbour spot has become a staple in the Magic City, we’re pretty sure it’s new out-of-the-box, Thai-inspired brunch will, too. This Sunday, April 1, NaiYaRa {1854 Bay Road, Miami Beach; 786.275.6005} invites guests to try the first installment of its first-ever weekly Sunday brunch series by none other than Chef Piyarat Potha Arreeratn, or “Chef Bee,” himself. To start, order a few appetizers! The Fried Duck & Biscuits with sweet chili sauce, Crispy Pork Belly Buns with a sweet soy glaze, or “Son-in-Law Eggs” (a Thai twist on the classic Scotch egg, with crispy hard-boiled eggs, ground chicken, crispy shallots, and tamarind sauce) are sure to be standouts. When it’s time for the main meal, enjoy eclectic dishes like Eggs Benedict with Chinese 5-spice biscuits and a spicy plantain hash, Black Sesame Pancakes with a banana brûlée, or Matcha Waffles with sweet red bean and bird chili maple syrup. The restaurant’s sushi menu will also be available, as will a sweet bottomless drinks package with Bloody Marys, mimosas, bellinis, and white sangria. Like we said: It’ll be a staple in no time. Brunch will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dishes are priced a la carte, and the bottomless package is priced at $30 per person.

Quattro Gastronomia Italiana
This Sunday, indulge in an Easter “Domenica di Pasqua” Brunch at Quattro Gastronomia Italiana {1014 Lincoln Road, 305.531.4833}. During this a la carte feast, start with antipasti like Pizza Di Tonno or a sharing plate of Italian cured meats and cheese, and move on to your primi piatti: ravioli with buffalo ricotta, spinach, and a butter sage sauce. For the secondi course, you can choose from an oven-roasted lamb leg with roasted potatoes or a 32-ounce Tomahawk steak for two with steak fries. A sweet Neapolitan cheesecake should end the meal on a sweet note, all of which will wash down nicely with any of the restaurant’s wines or handcrafted cocktails. Brunch will start at Noon. Dishes and drinks are priced a la carte.
BLT Prime
If you’re planning on celebrating Easter in Doral, the American steakhouse BLT Prime {4400 NW 87 Avenue, Doral; 305.591.6606} has a three-course, prix-fixe dinner just for you. Pick an appetizer to start—the Tuna & Salmon Tartare Duo or the BLT Wedge are both solid options—and move on to your entrée. Choose from plates like Miso Sea Bass with bok choi and bonito flakes, or Wagyu Short Rib with kimchee cucumber salad and crispy shallots, and pair it all with sides of Crayfish Mac & Cheese, Creamy Risotto with fresh black truffle, or Wok Fried Haricot Vert. Easter is all about sweets, so don’t leave without trying dessert! The Grand Marnier Crème Brûlée with almond biscotti and fresh berries, or the S’mores Chocolate Cream with salted caramel and a toasted marshmallow meringue should do the trick. This dinner is available from 6 to 11 p.m. It is priced at $95 per person, excluding tax and gratuity. Valet parking will be priced at $5 with validation. 
Fontainebleau Miami Beach
