Best Brunch
Five Aventura brunch picks: mall-adjacent Mediterranean plates, a reliable group table, Spanish small plates, a hotel-resort brunch, and an easy coffee-and-breakfast stop.
Motek sits on the lower level of Aventura Mall, right by the Slide Tower and the Apple Store, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Go when you want a Mediterranean brunch built into a mall day rather than a separate trip. The house White Wine Pomegranate Sangria is a staple here, and they'll take parties of 10 or more.
- Best when: a Mediterranean brunch folded into an Aventura Mall day
- Area: lower level, Aventura Mall (by the Slide Tower)
- Specific: indoor and outdoor seating; house White Wine Pomegranate Sangria; groups of 10+ accommodated
Tap 42 is the gastropub answer when the group wants burgers, salads, and craft cocktails without anyone overthinking it. Go when brunch needs to work for a mixed table and stay lively. The appeal is the range: a big casual menu, drinks, and a room built for groups.
- Best when: a lively group brunch with burgers, salads, and drinks
- Area: Aventura
- Specific: craft cocktails, burgers, salads, and a gastropub menu
Bulla does a modern take on Spanish tapas in a loud, casually polished room, and brunch is on the regular schedule alongside lunch and dinner. Go when shared small plates and sangria beat a quiet breakfast counter. The same kitchen runs a daily happy hour from 4–7pm if brunch slides into the afternoon.
- Best when: shared Spanish tapas and sangria
- Area: Aventura Mall area
- Specific: brunch served alongside lunch/dinner; daily happy hour 4–7pm
CORSAIR is the dining room at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry, the resort-day option when brunch is part of a spa, pool, or visiting-family plan. Go when you want hotel polish without leaving the property. Dining validates discounted valet at $15 plus tax.
- Best when: a resort-style weekend brunch at Turnberry
- Area: JW Marriott Miami Turnberry
- Specific: discounted valet $15+tax when you dine at the resort
Crema has run as an all-day café since 2012, open seven days a week for coffee, smoothies, and brunch plates. Go when the morning calls for an easy coffee-and-breakfast meet-up rather than a reservation. The Crema Breakfast (eggs, bacon, croissant) or the Golden Crema Breakfast are the signature morning orders.
- Best when: an easy coffee-and-breakfast meet-up
- Area: Aventura
- Specific: open 7 days a week since 2012; signature Crema and Golden Crema breakfasts
