Three New Brunch Spots and Breakfast Offerings to Savor in South Florida

The return of OCEAN2000’s legendary Sunday brunch at Pelican Grand Beach Resort is making waves once more—and for good reason. Launched on December 8, from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., this oceanfront culinary experience is set to be a must-visit for brunch connoisseurs.

What makes it extraordinary? Imagine indulging in an upscale buffet brimming with seafood-forward dishes crafted with seasonal influences. Freshly shucked oysters, rotating seafood specialties, and a carving station add layers of indulgence, while classic brunch staples like made-to-order waffles, custom pasta, and an artisanal charcuterie board cater to every craving.

The beverage offering is equally enticing. Sip on bottomless mimosas or Bloody Marys as you gaze at uninterrupted Atlantic Ocean views. Thanks to the recent revamp of the restaurant’s interiors—led by Degen & Degen Architecture and Interior Design—diners will be enveloped in coastal luxury. The space blends bohemian charm with modern refinement, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and an al fresco veranda that invites guests to soak in the sea breeze.

It’s clear that OCEAN2000’s Sunday brunch isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience that embodies Fort Lauderdale’s elevated yet relaxed coastal lifestyle.

Tucked within the artistic enclave of The Moore, Elastika’s new brunch menu is a masterclass in modern American cuisine with a worldly twist. Available every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., this fresh offering brings a playful, globally inspired spin to classic brunch favorites.

At the helm is Executive Chef Joe Anthony, whose creative culinary approach shines through dishes like the Spiced Tomato & Farm Egg Gratin “Shakshuka”—a nod to the Middle Eastern classic—and the Crepe & Local Mushroom “Burrito,” a reimagined fusion of comfort and elegance. Heartier options include Grilled Niman Ranch “Steak and Eggs” and the pizza-inspired Sandwich “Au Jus” for those craving a savory indulgence. For the purists, there’s a perfectly executed Avocado Toast and Roasted Russet Potato & Hash Brown—simple but satisfying staples done to perfection.

Elastika’s airy, artistic ambiance further elevates the experience. Set on the ground floor of The Moore, its contemporary design, soft natural lighting, and thoughtful décor make it an inviting space for relaxed yet sophisticated brunching. Here, every dish is crafted with intention, offering diners a global culinary journey right in the heart of South Florida.

Abbalé Telavivian Kitchen’s all-new breakfast menu has officially debuted at its South Beach location—and it’s already causing quite the buzz. Available weekdays from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., this elevated take on Mediterranean-inspired breakfast fare is nothing short of a culinary love letter to fresh, wholesome ingredients.

Created by restaurateurs Omer Horev and Chef Sam Gorenstein, the menu reads like a passport to Tel Aviv, with dishes that balance simplicity and elegance. The Avocado & Labneh Toast is a standout, featuring creamy labneh, zesty preserved lemon, za’atar, radishes, and fresh tomato—all atop multigrain sourdough. Another showstopper is the Cured Salmon & Labneh Toast, topped with arugula, pickled red onions, radishes, and tomato for a flavor profile that’s light, tangy, and fresh.

For a heartier option, there’s the Scrambled Egg Pita—a handheld delight filled with hummus, Israeli salad, tahini, and Abba’s signature pickles. And, of course, no Mediterranean brunch would be complete without Shakshuka. Here, it’s served with a Moroccan-spiced tomato and pepper braise, two pasture-raised eggs, and warm sesame challah bread for dipping. For those with a sweet tooth, freshly baked Vegan Banana Bread and Lemon-Olive Oil Cake offer a perfect finish, paired with house-made juices, teas, and coffee.

Abbalé’s minimalist, Mediterranean-inspired aesthetic—natural woods, sunlit interiors, and fresh greenery—provides the perfect backdrop for a leisurely breakfast. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or lingering over coffee and conversation, this new breakfast menu makes every morning feel like a mini escape to the shores of Tel Aviv.

South Florida’s brunch scene is back and bolder than ever. These three culinary hotspots promise to redefine how we brunch. Each offers a distinct experience, yet all share one unifying trait: an unwavering dedication to quality, flavor, and the art of dining well.
