Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 21, and this year it comes with a built-in bonus: the FIFA World Cup has taken over Miami and Broward, which means several restaurants on this list are pulling double duty as watch party venues.
Whether Dad wants a Michelin-starred tasting menu, a sheet pan of barbecue specials, or a beer bucket on Ocean Drive, there’s a plan here for him. Below, in alphabetical order, find 12 places across Miami-Dade and Broward with Father’s Day brunch and dinner specials this year.
