At Jaya, the tables spread out in a charming open-air courtyard surrounding the pool. On Sundays, there’s a jazz band on a stage right there in the middle of the water. You’ll see people in their best flowy dresses and sports jackets. The food, from executive chef Vijayudu Veena, is far from the standard fare, with everything from Indian to Indonesian, and was recently updated to include Peking duck and grilled-to-order stations.

We're laying it all out below in our guide to the very best places to brunch in Miami, the unscientifically official Brunch Capital of the Planet.
