Share All sharing options for: The 11 Best Brunch Spots in Broward County
With sun, sand, palm-draped main drags, and miles upon miles of canals to gawk at, Fort Lauderdale is primed for an hours-long boozy brunch. Stroll along Fort Lauderdale Beach or Las Olas Boulevard on a weekend, and the sidewalk signage makes this much clear: The Venice of America is a total brunch utopia.
But, beyond the flashy all-you-can-drinks, there are plenty of unexpected wild cards in Broward County, too. They’re tucked in unassuming strip malls, out in the ‘burbs, and, yes, even overlooking an airport runway. These are the 11 best destinations in Broward County for your next brunch gathering.

Broward has two Modern Rose locations – one in the Gateway Plaza in Fort Lauderdale and one in Deerfield Beach’s Cove Shopping Center. The Deerfield spot is the newer of the two, arriving in May 2023. Brunch staples include an array of avocado toasts, salads, and plenty of options for the keto and vegan crowds.
The original Tap 42 opened in downtown Fort Lauderdale in 2011 and has since expanded from Broward to Davie and Coral Springs. The Coral Springs spot is thriving thanks in part to its weekend bottomless brunch, anchored by free-flowing booze for a four-hour span and bites like a truffle street corn avocado toast and tres leches French toast.
Yes, there’s a restaurant at Fort Lauderdale’s Executive Airport, and yes, non-jetsetters can go anytime and watch the planes swirl by. It’s open daily for breakfast and lunch, with a “brunch favorites” menu boasting a crab cake hash, chicken, and waffle, and towering totchos topped with bacon and sausage.
Perhaps the best brunch view in Broward County, Dune has an open-air patio from the ocean’s edge. Equally as appetizing as the vistas are its brunch selections, spanning the simple (e.g., lemon blue crab on a croissant with poached eggs) to the intricate, like an egg-loaded shakshuka accompanied by a chorizo ravioli.

Once tucked in a tiny building smack-dab on Broward Boulevard, Foxy Brown has moved to a comparatively mega location on Federal Highway in recent years. And its brunch remains top-notch. Favorites – served on weekends from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. — include a banana bread grilled cheese with a gooey Nutella/ricotta filling and its biscuits and gravy with a Tasso ham twist.
