Brunch is a Saturday and/or Sunday must in these parts—as well it should be. Here are three eateries doing right by the weekend ritual.

Astra
Wynwood’s rooftop restaurant is bound to solidify its area favorite status with its new Mediterranean-inspired Saturday and Sunday brunch (11AM to 4PM). Staples include baklava pancakes, wild-caught salmon tartar and the sheftalia breakfat plate (two eggs any style with lamb kebab, tomato and pita). Booze is covered with sangria and mojito pitchers, as well as the Bubbles Tray, which features a variety of Champagnes and sparkling wines served with fresh berries, orange juice, peach nectar juice and apple cider. 2103 NW Second Ave., Miami, 305.573.5778
