From cozy cafes offering light, health-conscious bites to elegant restaurants with gourmet menus that tantalize your taste buds, the outdoor dining scene is as diverse as it is vibrant. From the Eastern Mediterranean flavors as old as civilization itself, to contemporary sushi fusion concepts that tantalize, you can find anything your palette might be craving. This spring, we invite you to step out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary. Let’s take a tour through the best outdoor dining brunch options at Aventura Mall that promise not just meals, but memories.
Motek
Motek is an Aventura Mall mainstay that might not be one of your first thoughts when it comes to brunchtime, but it probably should be.
Along with its regular menu, Motek offers an all-day brunch menu that hits the spot with classical options like Hummus Shakshuka and the Jerusalem Grilled Cheese. Transport yourself to the Mediterranean with a full breakfast, featuring three eggs (any style), Israeli salad, labneh, avocado mix, tahini, feta, s’chug and Jerusalem bread. Cocktails include favorites like the Aventura Mule – featuring Passionfruit liqueur and fresh ginger – and the Motek Margarita, a twist on the traditional, finished with toasted coconut salt.
Toku
With a prix fixe brunch menu for food and drinks, Toku delivers a diverse and modern take on Asian cuisine, where patrons can enjoy a sleek, fashionable ambiance along with a memorable day out. “Bottomless” takes a turn to the far east with unlimited lychee Bellinis, Mimosas, TOKU Spritz and the popular Wasabi Bloody Mary.
With your drink orders in, the entire table is treated to a first course of Steamed Edamame and a pick-three Dim Sum Sampler. The second course keeps things interesting with specialties like Ube Waffles (mango butter cream with yuzu maple syrup), Japanese Souffle Pancakes, or the one-of-a-kind “Okonomiyaki” Vegetable Omelette, replete with napa cabbage, shitake mushrooms and scallions. Save room for desert, which is a chef’s selection of delicious Mochi Ice Cream.
Pubbelly Sushi
With a brunch menu dedicated to its eclectic, communal concept, Pubbelly Sushi’s brunch is a satisfying and on-trend stop this Spring. Get started with a plate of Korean Wings, oven baked with garlic, sesame, and served alongside homemade wing sauce. With highlights that include classics like Tuna Pizza, Butter Krab Roll and Tostones Con Ceviche, you can share plates with friends and family (or keep it all to yourself, we won’t tell).
The brunch menu also features Pubbelly signature rolls like Two Timing Tuna Roll, Acebichado Lobster Roll, and even a Spicy Veggie Roll for the vegetarians among us. Remember to save room for drinks and dessert too – you can’t go wrong with the Tropical Sake Mimosa or Yuzu Key Lime Cinnamon Roll.
PANI
The brunch menu at Pani keeps it traditional (with a twist) by offering standby dishes like Avocado Toast, Eggs Benedict on brioche, and Argentinian migas (crustless sandwiches).
But let’s be real; is there anything more traditionally brunch than having some bottomless adult-beverage fun? Pani’s list of drink options includes the Posh Bellini, the Fresh Rossini, the tarty Pani Citrus, the literal Aperol of My Dreams, and of course, the aptly named Lavish Mimosa which features “[a] delicate and delicious combination of sparkling wine, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a touch of magic.”
Brunch is served every day until 3 p.m.
Tap42 Craft Kitchen & Bar
For a more down-home style brunch, Tap42 is the standard-bearer. Its Boozy Brunch List will feel familiar to any seasoned brunch-goer, but not without the interesting takeson contemporary cuisine that the brand is best known for serving. Cocktails, classic drinks, frozen and pitcher’ed, the bottomless options are many splendored and feature popular favorites like the Maui Wowie Margarita, Spicy Greengo, Mocha Espresso Martini (wake up!) and the classic Frozé.
The delights continue on the plate, with appetite-teasing appetizers like the Crispy Asian Calamari Tower, Truffle Street Corn Guacamole, or the Chicken Lettuce Wraps – all fit for sharing. Brunch Bites include the popular Hangover Sandwich, or the robust Green Eggs & Ham Benedict. It wouldn’t be a gastropub without some full-plate options like the Prohibition Burger or Prime Chimichurri Skirt Steak. But if you’re in the mood for something a little different, give the Drunken Goat (lamb and beef with whipped goat cheese) a try.
