Are you ready for a beautiful Sunday? Every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Juniper on the Water in Hallandale Beach opens its door to spectacular views and an à la carte brunch menu served alongside $12 bottomless Mimosas and Bellinis. This American-Mediterranean restaurant with a Cape Cod feel sure knows how to put on an extraordinary Sunday Brunch!
As an avid “Sunday Bruncher,” I can definitely say that this is a great spot to get together with family and friends on the weekend. Aside from a relaxing view and laid back yet elegant ambiance, the food is outstanding and the service is impeccable. They sure keep those Mimosas and Bellinis coming your way…
They have a well-rounded brunch menu that offers everything from salads and starters like pork-belly hash or the restaurant’s popular fried calamari to entrees like a vegetable frittata, cheddar chorizo frittata, steak and eggs, salmon eggs Benedict and the scrumptious lobster eggs Benedict–my favorite: The lobster Benedict comes with lobster chucks, two poached eggs over a polenta cake, asparagus, and hollandaise sauce. Aside from the freshness and quality of the lobster, the polenta is a perfect combination as it doesn’t overpower the flavor of the lobster—it’s divine. My second favorite: the Lobster, roll. Fresh Maine lobster (makes all the difference in flavor), mayonnaise, siracha, celery, cilantro, truffle fries. The picture below says a thousand words. The Mahi tacos are delicious too. Fresh caught Mahi, corn tortilla, tomato, poblano peppers, red onions, ancho chili aioli. Nice portion too.
Now being the foodie that I am, I looked around and saw some amazingly prepared dishes that I have on my bucket list to try: Shrimp & Grits–creamy polenta, shrimp, crispy bacon, chives, and gravy. I’ve tried the polenta here before and it’s superb so, this should be an outstanding dish. Very popular is the Juniper BLT made with thick-cut bacon, arugula, plum tomato, and Dijon aioli served on a toasted brioche bun. There were also some delicious pancakes dishes being passed around.

The Salmon Platter, house citrus-cured salmon, cucumber, tomato, capers, and red onion, served with bagel and cream cheese looks terrific. Seafood lovers can enjoy Blue Point Oysters and they have a Seafood Sampler featuring shrimp cocktail, 6 oysters and 2 stone crabs. Definitely on that bucket list!
There are a number of specialty cocktails but I loved their Juniper– a Puree of cucumber and yellow bell pepper, Hendrix gin, St. Germain and lime with a cumin rim. It’s very refreshing and I guess you can say on the healthy side minus the booze, no? On my list of top favorite drinks right now.
Juniper on the Water is located on the Intracoastal in Hallandale Beach, Hemispheres condominium grounds. Now they have an extension of their signature a la carte brunch on Saturdays. For more information, visit: www.juniperonthewater. com or call 954-544-3370.
