From sun-drenched patios to breezy waterfront decks, Naples knows how to do brunch right. Whether you're celebrating with champagne and seafood towers or lingering over lemon ricotta pancakes, the city offers a brunch scene that's equal parts relaxed and refined. Here's a guide to the most memorable brunch destinations in Naples—each one offering a delicious reason to slow down and savor the weekend.
Bayside Seafood Grill & Bar
Few brunch spots offer the panoramic waterfront views and multi-level dining experiences of Bayside Grill and Bar. Nestled along Venetian Bay, it's a go-to for locals who know where to catch the breeze and the best crab cake Benedict. Choose from The Café for casual comfort, The Grill upstairs for refined coastal cuisine, or the coveted Upper Deck, where mimosas are best enjoyed with a seafood omelet and a gentle sea breeze. With an elevated yet welcoming menu of seafood, steaks, pastas, and weekend brunch favorites, Bayside pairs Naples charm with culinary pedigree.
The Boathouse on Naples Bay
A true Naples institution with roots tracing back to the 1960s, The Boathouse is all about waterfront nostalgia and laid-back indulgence. Arrive by car or boat—yes, there's dock space—and enjoy brunch classics like seafood platters, eggs Benedict, or hearty steak and eggs while dolphins occasionally glide by in the distance. The Lido Deck is a brunch-time favorite for its views, while the Panoramic Promenade provides an airy, relaxed dining experience that blends Naples history with Florida flair.
Caffé Milano
Italian brunch with a cosmopolitan Naples twist? Caffé Milano delivers on both fronts. Between their surf-and-turf breakfast, spinach-and-smoked-salmon eggs Benedict, and Croque Monsieur sandwich, the brunch offerings offer a variety of tastes. Its modern-rustic aesthetic and central location make it a favorite for both residents and visitors. The drink menu is equally impressive, featuring prosecco, mimosas, margaritas, and sangrias.
The Claw Bar
Beneath its polished Southern charm and white-tablecloth sophistication, The Claw Bar serves up a daily brunch that marries inventive cuisine with relaxed elegance. Start with the smoked fish board—an artful spread of salmon, trout, pickles, and horseradish cream—or opt for the Lump Crab Benedict with a velvety béarnaise. Steak & Eggs with filet mignon is available for those seeking something truly decadent. Their ethos of "Gracious Hospitality" is felt in every detail, from the service to the ambiance.
Crème de la Crème Naples
For something light, charming, and delightfully European, Crème de la Crème brings old-world flair to the brunch scene. Along with its deep menu of breakfast and lunch favorites—omelets, quiche, crepes, signature sandwiches and salads—the café offers a variety of sweet bites and pastries. Their cozy atmosphere and curated cocktail list make it ideal for those who prefer their mornings relaxed and refined. Mimosas, aperitifs, and a warm café ambiance make this a hidden gem worth discovering.
Del Mar Naples
Del Mar Naples brings a fresh, coastal Mediterranean breeze to Naples' weekend brunch scene. Their menu draws inspiration from the shores of Greece, Italy, Morocco, and Southern Spain, offering a colorful variety of spreads, a fire-roasted shellfish platter, and a selection of Turkish flatbreads. With interiors that embrace natural textures and al fresco tables that make the most of the Florida sun, Del Mar is ideal for long, shareable meals among friends—paired, of course, with a round of handcrafted cocktails.
Jane's Café on 3rd
Tucked into the heart of Old Naples, Jane's Café on 3rd offers a charming al fresco brunch experience surrounded by English gardens and a serene courtyard patio. The all-day breakfast/lunch menu leans global—spotlighting everything from crab omelettes and lobster quiche to short rib Benedict and pina colada stuffed French Toast—each dish crafted with fresh, natural ingredients. Known for its colorful plating, gourmet teas, and specialty Champagne cocktails, Jane's feels like a garden party with a culinary passport. It's a feel-good favorite for locals and visitors alike, perfect for lingering over brunch in sun-dappled style.
Sails Restaurant
Brunch at Sails Restaurant is beyond mere late morning meal, instead proffering elegance that evokes the best of European sophistication. The weekend Champagne brunch is a must, boasting a brand selection of flavors that includes the basics—pancakes and eggs Benedict —to the truly indulgent, such as Tajima Wagyu bone-in ribeye, seared foie gras, and ox tail ravioli. Sails' Champagne Brunch also includes a curated selection of French and Italian wines and handcrafted cocktails. It's a true feast for the senses, steps from the Gulf.
Soluna Restaurant & Bar
Nestled in chic Bayfront Place, Soluna Restaurant & Bar serves up a globally inspired Sunday brunch that balances sophistication with Southwest Florida's sunny personality. The a la carte menu is bold, beautifully plated, and rooted in seasonal Florida ingredients, and accompanied by Bellinis, Mimosas, Bloody Marys, and Sangrias. Brunch runs from 11 to 3 and is complemented by an award-winning wine list, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely Sunday filled with great flavors and atmosphere.
