Sunday in Miami runs on two clocks. There's the Overtown and Liberty City table — Red Rooster, Lil Greenhouse, Jackson Soul Food, Lorna's — where brunch means somebody's grandmother's recipe and a room that learns your name. And there's the Beach table, bottomless and loud. Half of this list is Black-owned. Both halves are worth your Sunday.

Marcus Samuelsson's Overtown dining room turns weekend mornings into a proper occasion, oxtail and grits, brisket hash, and a room full of conversation and neighborhood pride.
Pip’s Tip Samuelsson's Overtown weekend brunch
A dressed-up Midtown room where brunch runs until five and the hookah smoke never quite clears. Expect DJs, big tables of friends, and Southern plates built for lingering.
Pip’s Tip Dressed-up Midtown brunch until five
Marina-side booths and cabanas on West Avenue, where weekend brunch stretches from noon to four with Caribbean-leaning plates and a crowd that treats the afternoon like a day party.
Pip’s Tip Marina-side brunch that turns day party
Neo-soul cooking in the heart of Historic Overtown, served from noon in a bright room that fills with live jazz and blues. Weekend midday plates land somewhere between brunch and Sunday dinner.
Pip’s Tip Neo-soul plates with live jazz
Open since the 1940s and still the first stop for grits, fried fish and hot biscuits before church. Doors swing at six in the morning, and the counter talk is half the reason to go.
Pip’s Tip Overtown soul food counter since 1946
A Jamaican breakfast counter that has fed this stretch of Miami for decades, ackee and saltfish, callaloo, festival and strong coffee. Small room, no pretense, lines that move fast.
Pip’s Tip Ackee, saltfish and strong coffee
The Miami Gardens weekend brunch anchor, where island cooking meets Southern comfort under the name Brunch 27. Family recipes since 2006, and a dining room that fills with regulars.
Pip’s Tip Island meets Southern at Brunch 27
Fried chicken done with real technique, and a brunch built on chicken and waffles plus sweet potato biscuits with candied rum butter. Doral's most worthwhile late-morning detour.
Pip’s Tip Chicken, waffles and rum-butter biscuits
Boil fish and grits, souse and johnnycake, served from half past seven to a Liberty City crowd that knows the routine. Sunday service ends at one, so come early.
Pip’s Tip Boil fish and grits by half past seven
Soul food breakfast from seven every morning, catfish and grits, smothered chicken, pancakes the size of the plate. A neighborhood kitchen where portions and prices both make sense.
Pip’s Tip Soul food breakfast seven days a week
Pan-Asian brunch stations under the courtyard palms, with unlimited Champagne, live jazz on Sundays and the kind of service that makes three hours disappear. Worth the splurge.
Pip’s Tip Champagne and Asian brunch stations
Riverfront izakaya brunch with sushi, robata stations and a bar that keeps pouring. Loud, glossy and thoroughly Miami, best booked for a table of six who plan to stay a while.
Pip’s Tip Sushi and robata over the river
The old Miami Women's Club on the bay, reborn as an Italian brunch buffet with a raw bar, pastry table and water views from every angle. Sundays here run long and easy.
Pip’s Tip Bayfront Sunday buffet and raw bar
Wynwood's drag brunch is still the loudest room in town, family-style plates, bottomless mimosas and performers working the tables between courses. Book the early seating for a calmer version.
Pip’s Tip The loudest drag brunch in Wynwood
Wood-fired Wynwood cooking translated to midday: smoked short rib, roasted cauliflower and bottomless mimosas. The dining room is warm, dark and surprisingly unhurried.
Pip’s Tip Wood-fired midday, bottomless bubbles
Brunch in Peacock Park with tables set out under the trees, bottomless bubbles and a menu that leans light. One of the few Miami rooms where the outdoor seating is the whole point.
Pip’s Tip Brunch outdoors in Peacock Park
Sunday on the sand at the southern tip of the beach, teepees, a long buffet and a DJ set that turns brunch into an afternoon. Come for the ritual as much as the food.
Pip’s Tip Sunday brunch straight on the sand
Viet-Cajun cooking on the Biscayne corridor, with guava and passion fruit Tropimosas and a patio strung with lights. Bold, funky and a welcome break from hotel buffets.
Pip’s Tip Viet-Cajun plates and tropical mimosas
Twenty-two floors above Brickell, this rooftop turns Sunday into a proper soirée, skyline views, a DJ and two hours of bottomless pours. Reserve a rail seat if you can.
Pip’s Tip Sunday soirée 22 floors up
Greek plates and live jazz on a Miami River deck, with weekend service running until five. Boats drift past, the ouzo flows, and nobody is rushing you out.
Pip’s Tip Greek plates and live jazz dockside
Marcus Samuelsson put his Harlem room in the old Clyde Killens pool hall on Northwest Second Avenue, and Sunday there feels like the neighborhood got its living room back.
