Breakfast and Lunch

Pura Vida

@lisaaronzon

A classic Miami spot— go for the perfect egg sandwich or the kale chicken caesar wrap. The wraps are huge so be prepared to share or save some for later.

Gale South Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton

Great location and hospitality with reasonable prices! The staff are helpful and accommodating. The rooftop is a lovely escape and you're perfectly situated-- whether you want to go to the beach, party at the SLS, or visit some of the best restaurants in South Beach.

Eden Roc Miami Beach

@lisaaronzon

Stay here if you prefer to be in a large resort setting, but without the party scene of the Fontainebleau (although it's very close if you want to visit!)
