Elegance and Flavor Join Forces During Boujee Brunch at Amelia’s 1931

It is held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Sunday.

Those who enjoy an elegant and flavorful brunch in a vintage setting might have to find a moment to venture down South in the Miami Area. There, Amelia’s 1931 will give you the perfect brunch dining experience that you crave. The secretive restaurant, located on a somewhat hidden-away corner of a classic South Florida strip mall, is one that will not disappoint. Once you step through the restaurant’s doors, you’ll be greeted by a speakeasy-style of environment that captures the true essence of the past, with its Victorian-type era décor.

Not only will you be surprised by the restaurant’s look, but you will enjoy passing through the entrance, where a vintage washing machine greets you. Then, you will pass through clothes hung as drying laundry above the hostess stand.

At Amelia’s 1931, it’s not just about the interior’s creative look, it’s mostly the creative cuisine and cocktails that stand out the most.

The restaurant is led by a well-known Miami chef, Eileen Andrade. The passion for his craft has allowed Amelia’s 1931 to not only be and stay successful through its tenure, now at six months, but the events and ideas just keep evolving and making diners hungry to visit and try out the newest flavors and experience at the hot spot.

Launched on February 18, their Boujee Brunch offers a great selection of dishes and cocktails that are simply as sophisticated as they are unique. The experience is one that won’t be forgotten once you try it, and you will be happy that the dinnertime establishment now offers a weekend daytime option to indulge.

The menu offers delicious items such as Cuban Croque Madame, Islas Canarias ham croquetas on grilled sourdough with gruyere, huancaina and topped with a sunny side up egg; Chicken & Biscuits with kimchi jam, fish sauce caramel and Japanese pickles; Timba Pancakes, which consists of three buttermilk pancakes with leche condensada, toasted coconut and guava marmalade. All dishes feature definite Latin flavors, flavors that are well-represented and authentic.

My favorite dish, my selected one during the visit, was the Braised Lechon Has. Featuring a tender braised pork shoulder and aji Amarillo Yukon hash topped with sawmill gravy, sunny side up eggs and chives, it’s the type of dish that is not only filling, but you will be finishing up the plate just like you would in Abuela’s house, a fact that would make her extremely proud.

Now, let’s talk about the cocktails. Led by the corporate beverage director Alex Aportela.  The 13 spirited modern and classic concoctions also include a zero-proof drink. All the beverages pair perfectly with the brunch menu, so make sure you ask the knowledgeable servers what you should drink to go with your meal.

Two that I recommend you try out that are only available on the brunch menu are Pump Up the Jams, which consists of clarified milk punch, Legent bourbon, Peruvian Alpine Blueberry, creamy peanut butter, fresh lemon juice and a touch of sugar. Then there’s the inventive Agua Bendita, a fantastic cocktail, featuring corporate beverage director Alex Aportela. The list includes 13 spirited modern and classic concoctions as well as a zero-proof drink. A couple must-tries, only served during brunch are Pump Up the Jams – clarified milk punch, Legent bourbon, Peruvian Alpine Blueberry, creamy peanut butter, fresh lemon juice and a touch of sugar. Then there’s the impressive Agua Bendita, which mixes the flavors of Haku Vodka, Korean Sojo, coconut water, watermelon juice, a dash of bubbly water, lemon juice with cherry bark vanilla bitters and the sweetness of sugar.

Make sure you plan a trip to Amelia’s 1931. You will thank yourself for visiting a unique spot that proudly offers a classy and upscale brunch experience.
