THE EDIT

In Miami, brunch isn’t a meal — it’s an event. You don’t just show up, you arrive. The right sundress, the right sunglasses, a reservation at the right rooftop. This is the edit for getting it exactly right, from what you’re wearing to where you’re going and what’s in your glass.

The Look

Brunch dressing in Miami lives somewhere between resort wear and going-out. Think flowing linen, gold jewelry that catches the light, and a sandal you can actually walk a rooftop terrace in.

The Spot

For the fashion girl: Dior Café in the Design District. Enter through the boutique, take the elevator to the rooftop garden, and order the Dior latte before the crowd arrives at opening. Come dressed for the photo — everyone else will be.

For the skyline view: Juvia, perched above Lincoln Road. The truffle risotto is worth the trip alone, and the Miami Beach skyline makes it feel like a proper occasion.

For old Palm Beach money: Café Boulud at The Brazilian Court. Historic, quietly glamorous, and exactly where Palm Beach’s social set has brunched for decades.

The Sip

A proper Miami brunch cocktail should taste like sunshine. Our go-to: a citrus spritz — prosecco, a splash of Aperol, fresh grapefruit juice, and a rosemary sprig. Light, bright, and photographs beautifully.
