The 10 Best Places For Brunch In Miami
Here are the best places for brunch in Miami. Weekend brunch isn’t as much of a meal as much as it is a lifestyle. It’s not for everyone, but it’s something everyone should try at least once before passing any judgements. When you live in beautiful always sunny Miami, brunch is in every weekend’s forecast. What’s great about brunch in Miami is that no matter what you have a taste for, our city has it. So, without further ado, here’s the 10 best places for brunch in Miami:
1. American Social
The perfect all-American brunch spot on the Miami River. Hang out in the upscale indoor dining room or sit on their waterfront patio watching countless yachts go by as you down endless mimosas. Wherever you decide to lounge in this Brickell hotspot for the afternoon, enjoy dozens of crafts brews on tap, delicious chicken and waffles or the cast iron blueberry pancakes and the lively atmosphere. Saturday brunch is from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.
