A brunch staple. Sit outside if you can, order a Bloody Mary, and settle into some classic Coconut Grove people-watching.
Vizcaya Museum & GardensVizcaya Museum & Gardens
A stunning Italian-style villa on Biscayne Bay that feels like stepping into another world. Wander through ten acres of gardens, fountains, and waterfront views for a true Miami hidden gem. Don’t miss their Sunday Farmer’s Market (9:30–4:30).

An easy stop in the Grove for dining, drinks, or a movie. Centrally located with a parking garage and plenty to explore nearby.
Bayshore Club Bar & GrillBayshore Club Bar & Grill
One of our favorite spots on the water for drinks, dinner, or a laid-back brunch. We love the Local Catch Ceviche, Mojo Snapper, and Coconut Rice, and we always end up ordering a Summer of 1930 cocktail.
Regatta GroveRegatta Grove
Right next door to Bayshore, this is our go-to for casual waterfront drinks. It’s very relaxed, very lively, and always has music playing. Kid and dog-friendly during the day, and more of a social, DJ-driven vibe after sunset.

A newer addition to Coconut Grove that we’re excited about. Mediterranean-inspired and beautifully designed, it’s already earning a reputation as a great spot for a relaxed but elevated dinner or date night.

A true dive bar in the Grove and one of Victor’s go-to spots. No frills, just character.

A Miami institution and one of the most charming bookstores around. You can browse with a glass of wine or beer in hand, which says everything you need to know.
Sospiro Wine Bar & CucinaSospiro Wine Bar & Cucina
One of our favorite spots for wine and charcuterie. The owner once made Victor properly pronounce “gamay” before serving him his glass, so yes, it’s serious in the best way.
