Best Lunch Restaurants in Kendale Lakes

"Restaurants Gastropubs Brickell. The Brickell gastropub with reopens just in time for football season. With seemingly more TVs than chairs, Batch is a favorite of sports fans looking for a good view of the game and a solid meal to enjoy while they watch."

"Batch is a neighborhood pub serving an extensive selection of cocktails, whiskey, beer and wine. There is no dearth of options here!. TVs on all the walls allow you to catch the game."

"It’s a nice place to unwind on Friday nights and come back for the brunch on Sundays. Our waitress Pam is very, very good at what she..."

"Little Havana’s shining star offers up Latin bites and beer in an intimate setting that includes a hidden back patio with a tropical vibe. The restaurant boasts locally-sourced ingredients and an award-winning chorizo croquettes dish. Order those for sure and compliment your starter with a short rib burger or a pan con bistec (juicy steak sandwich)."

"Tucked away in Little Havana, Doce Provisions serves up a waffle with some serious Florida flair. Its standout Key Lime Pie Waffles are covered in graham cracker crumbs and topped with plenty of whipped cream, meaning it’s basically like having pie for breakfast — and who doesn't love that?"

"Located in the heart of the world-renowned edgy arts district of Miami, Miam Café & Boutique serves a simple, fresh menu of homemade food and drinks all day long in a casual, and friendly atmosphere. From hearty, wholesome breakfasts and healthy lunches to delicious afternoon snacks and made-to-order dishes, the café’s food is prepared with only the freshest ingredients, all of which are locally sourced. Salads, sandwiches, pastries, and quiches are all made fresh on site, and you can choose an accompaniment from a list of beverages that includes various teas and coffees, cold drinks, beers, and wines."

"Disguised among the zebra-printed Wynwood Building, this industrial-style European bistro, which translates to yum in French, is a local haven for daytime fare plus beer and wine."

"Jackson Soul Food is a restaurant with deep roots in the Overtown community, a historically black neighborhood just west of Downtown Miami. The area has a complicated past, full of highs and lows, and it’s a history that’s essential reading for any Miami resident. You can feel a bit of the neighborhood’s past inside Jackson Soul Food, but you can also enjoy some of the best Southern and soul food dishes you’ll find in town."

"The chocolate brigadeiro cake at Sagrado Cafe is an indulgent combination of moist layers of chocolate cake and brigadeiros, Brazil's signature truffle. Thanks to sweetened condensed milk in the truffle mixture, the cake remains moist despite the absence of frosting. To add to the richness, mini brigadeiros top the whole thing ($8 to $69 depending upon the size)."

"With an enchanted garden atmosphere, this Brazilian café in downtown Miami is a great place for family bonding time. Kids' meals ($14) start with a sharable warm basket of gluten-free cheese bread and a choice of soda or juice. Then it's on to their own plate of chicken Milanese, served with a side of rice, fries, or mac 'n' cheese."

"A Jewish deli done wrong,” proclaims owner/chef Josh Marcus of his chill spot in Surfside. Marcus worked in many of Miami’s famous restaurants, but Josh’s Deli is a departure: it’s classic food made with fresher ingredients, creative twists (a softshell crab croissant, octopus and grits, spicy tuna latkes), and homemade everything (even the bagels). The experience is deeply unpretentious, which we love."

"What better way to satisfy your breakfast-food craving and your sweet tooth all at once than at this retro '80s-themed milkshake shop?. Vicky’s House offers a slew of over-the-top milkshake creations, but when bacon is on the table, it needs no further explanation. Cue the Breakfast Club ($15), a vanilla shake with a peanut butter and Cap’n Crunch rim, whipped cream, Miami Smokers bacon, a glazed doughnut from the Salty Donut, and a shot of espresso for an extra kick."

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors West Coconut Grove. Kush Hospitality’s ’80s-themed dessert bar serves over-the-top, retro-themed shakes and good times. It’s named after owner Matt Kuscher’s mom and styled just like the childhood home where he grew up."

"Cielito Artisan Pops, a bakery and ice cream and frozen yogurt spot that offers desserts and more, is another much-loved go-to, with five stars out of 135 Yelp reviews. Head over to 2750 N.W. Third Ave., Suite 20A to see for yourself."

"Wynwood sushi restaurant Omakai (and temporarily in Aventura as well) is packing up the chef’s-choice sushi meal for diners to feast on while staying in. The elegant black box has partitions for each portion of the meal and includes sauces in individual containers, a wet nap and chopsticks."

"Omakai Sushi offers a a proper omakase experience starting at just $17 a person, and running up to $38 for its deluxe, multi-course meal filled with seasonal fish. A variety of hand rolls, nigiri, and sashimi can also be ordered a la carte."

"This Japanese-Peruvian restaurant first got its start inside the former St. Roch Market in 2018, but has since grown into a new larger space that’s all its own in the across the way in the Miami Design District’s Palm Court. Led by a brother, sister, and father team lovingly referred to a the “Chang Gang,” Itamae combines their Peruvian heritage with Japanese classics. Think a curated selection of specialty maki and vegan rolls, sashimi, rice bowls, alongside tiradito and ceviches, using ingredients like leche de tigre, fresh fish, and local produce."

"When I heard Itamae, an excellent Nikkei spot that initially debuted in a Design District food hall, was going to open its own restaurant, I was way too excited. I probably checked their Instagram page on a weekly basis for updates. I even ended up interviewing Nando and Val Chang about the process of opening during a pandemic, which sounded like a planetary-size headache."

"The scene inside Pubbelly Sushi’s brick-walled dining room in Sunset Harbour is hip and casual, and there's outdoor sidewalk seating as well. Here, the perfect order might include the bigeye tuna roll on a crispy, sticky rice cake with truffle oil; the snow crab roll with clarified butter; the Wagyu beef tartare roll; rock shrimp tempura; and Shishito peppers. Keep an open mind, too, because these “deconstructed” sushi rolls don't resemble anything you’ve seen before."

"An OG on South Beach, Pubbelly Sushi is best known for its rolls like its Instagram famous butter krab roll made with goma soy paper, kanikama, ponzu, with warm clarified butter for dipping. Start out with the tuna pizza, and ease into the rolls and robata offerings. But be careful, while portions are a decent and meant for sharing, it’s easy to get overly excited and want them all."

"Hands down the best place to sushi in Miami Beach is Pubbelly. They have about 15 different types of sushi rolls, each made to perfection. You can’t find rolls like these anywhere else, including the Arana made with soft shell crab, serrano, avocado and tomatillo or the Sake Aburi with Kanikama, salmon, yuzu, miso and truffle oil."

"A nightclub with a bowling alley and an ice-skating rink — what could be more Instagrammable?. Basement is a nightclub with a twist, and it’s made for the ‘gram with its neon signs, dramatic lighting, and tinsel curtain backdrops. A favorite celebrity hangout spot (check out their Instagram feed to see some famous faces), Basement is the kind of place you’re likely to brush shoulders with some VIPs — it’s sure to be a night to remember!"

"Basement Miami has everything you need for a fun night out, and it is filled with unique entertainment. Keep the party going all night long as you listen to live music in the lounge, whirl around the ice skating rink, and rave under the neon lights of the large dance floor!. You can even enjoy a round of bowling in the vibrant indoor alley!"

"Where else can you drink, dance, party, bowl, and ice-skate?. Basement is so dank that Drake once rented out the whole place to skate with Rihanna during Miami Music Week. It's a rather intimate space with room for dancing, although it can get cramped, so make sure you get there early enough to avoid the long line."
