BEST PLACE FOR a brunch date


Pinch Kitchen à


Hidden chef’s table notwithstanding, every seat at Pinch seems like the best in the house. At this cozy Upper Eastside restaurant, noise never rises above a murmur, and you’ll always find the right amount of natural light peeking through the large windows overlooking the street. Sharing is the way to go: Start with the Egg in a Basket; featuring crispy potato covered in espuma and served alongside whole-wheat toast and crispy speck, then move on to stuffed brioche French toast with guava and whipped cream cheese. Willing to go halfsies on either dish? This relationship will go the distance.


à8601 Biscayne Blvd (305-631-2018, pinchmiami.com). Sat, Sun 10:30am–4pm.

BEST BRUNCH FOR BOTTOMLESS BOOZE RUNNERS UP


ßTap 42


If you’re not sloshed by the time you leave Tap 42, you’re doing something wrong. This is where thirsty brunchers go to kick-start their perennial Sunday Funday fests. At $20 a pop, the unlimited mimosa, Bloody Mary and Funky Buddha Floridian option isn’t the


cheapest in town, but it is the only one available without the purchase of an entrée. You can literally have a liquid brunch, though the French toast might make you reconsider.


à301 Giralda Ave, Coral Gables (786-391-1566, tap42.com/coral-gables). Sat, Sun 11am–3pm; bottomless drinks $20.


15
