This Little River restaurant will make you fall madly in love with brunch again, even if you never even liked it that much to begin with. This is because the food here is phenomenal, and Rosie's makes the best brunch dishes in Miami. The menu revolves around Southern food, and both the sweet and savory sides of the spectrum are well-represented. You can get a gorgeous stack of fluffy lemon ricotta pancakes or fried chicken and biscuits that look like they just came back from a photo shoot.

You’ll walk into Edan Bistro and wonder if you’re at the same restaurant that serves the best Basque food in Miami. The deli case near the kitchen sits emptier than your rumbling stomach, and the walls are mostly bare. But rest assured, this is special occasion food in the kind of atmosphere that welcomes your most casual outfit. Definitely get the crispy fried eggs with Iberico ham and black garlic mayonnaise.

So many of the strong Peruvian flavors that make Maty’s one of the best dinner spots in Miami are also present for weekend brunch. The ricotta toast has ají amarillo jam and the challah french toast has whipped cream infused with ají limo. But the one thing you have to get is the fried chicken and picarones, a very Maty’s spin on chicken and waffles that is one of our favorite dishes in Miami right now. There just isn’t a brunch menu around with more interesting flavors than this.

Going to Schnitzel House at 11am kind of feels like breaking into your favorite bar during the day. The blinds are closed, the lights are on, and you start to think that maybe you shouldn’t be there. But you should, because their weekend brunch is great. There are some excellent brunch-exclusive dishes on the menu—like their take on chicken and waffles (called schnitz and waffles), which comes with crispy little chicken nuggets heaped onto a thin waffle.

Brunch usually involves predictable suspects like chicken and waffles, french toast, and eggs benedict. That’s not the case at Doya. The Mediterranean spot has an Aegean breakfast platter that includes 16 assorted cheeses and mezze like spicy tomato and muhammara. Their poached eggs doused in labneh and paprika are criminally delicious. They have oven-baked eggs made with thick slices of juicy sucuk. You can also order from their regular menu during brunch if grilled prawns are more your speed.

La Fresa Francesa looks like a whimsical Parisian souvenir shop designed by a Hialeah abuela. With its old timey French music and flowery tablecloths, you will not find a cuter weekend brunch in Miami. If you're looking for a filling morning plate, get the quack madame. Tender duck is pressed between cheesy sourdough so deliciously heavy you’ll need to take ujjayi breaths between bites.

One of Miami’s best bakeries has a second location in MiMo. This Caracas outpost feels more like a proper cafe, with an expanded menu, sleek dining room, and the same great cachitos. The new stuff on Caracas’ menu includes sandwiches like an excellent BEC on a sweet potato bun, a crispy broccoli and cheese sandwich, jambon beurre, and mushroom toast. It works well for any and all laidback brunch plans. You can also come here alone with a laptop to get some work done.

Los Felix is the brunch to book if brunch kind of bores you. The dishes at this Coconut Grove spot are exciting and creative, but not overly fussy. The bowl of chilaquiles is delicious even without the optional (but highly encouraged) pork belly and caviar add-on. The masa pancake has a subtle corn flavor and the egg tostada comes with the most perfect fluffy scrambled eggs we’ve ever met.

Krüs Kitchen serves one of the most exciting dinners in Miami. Brunch here is no different. The smoked coconut rice is very similar to dinner’s, except the brunch version comes with trout roe and cilantro chimichurri instead of cilantro aioli (and we actually like it better than the dinner version). The menu changes a lot, but if you see french toast, order it. It comes with confit pear, chantilly cream, maple syrup, a touch of cognac—and it’s like crème brulée in bread form.

There’s no shortage of expensive brunch buffets in Miami, but Edge is our favorite. In the back patio of the upscale hotel steakhouse they cut through tomahawk steaks at a pace that would overwhelm a predatory cat. After you’ve had your fill of that, dedicate any remaining room to the great pastry/dessert section—and also take advantage of the small a la carte menu that supplements the buffet (get the ricotta pancakes).
