Miami Spice is officially upon us, and there's no better time than these next few weeks to get out and sample our city's best restaurants.

While there are certainly plenty of deals to keep you busy come lunch and dinner during the week, we couldn't help but ask: What about brunch?

Luckily, several restaurants have Miami Spice savings available during peak brunch hours, meaning you can sip some bubbly and share some small plates come midday Sunday — all for a great price.

Here are five of our favorite brunch picks available on Saturday, Sunday, or both during Miami Spice.

Miami Spice runs through September 30. All menus are subject to change and prices do not include taxes, gratuities, or beverages (unless noted).
