Best Brunch Spots in Naples
Naples, Florida — updated August 24, 2026
Eight Naples restaurants for a late morning table, from a bayfront grill with a set Sunday brunch window to Fifth Avenue South dining rooms with the review counts to back them up.
Listings verified
Brunch in Naples splits between two geographies: the water, where the seating is the point, and the Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South corridors downtown, where the kitchens carry the weight. Both fill fast in season, and several of the rooms below run on the same lunch service they use the rest of the week rather than a separate brunch menu. Where a place publishes an actual brunch window, we have said so.
1. Bayside Seafood Grill & Bar
The only place on this list with a stated brunch service: The Grill runs Sunday brunch from 10:30am to 2pm, per the restaurant's own hours. The rest of the week it opens at 11:30am for lunch and reopens at 4:30pm for dinner, with The Cafe running from 2pm to close daily. Sunday opening is 11:00 AM according to its Yelp listing, so the 10:30 brunch seating is the earlier of the two published starts and worth confirming when you book. At 4.4 across 1,132 reviews, this is a settled rating rather than a hopeful one. Address is 4270 Gulf Shore Blvd N.
2. Jane's Cafe on 3rd
A coffee shop on Third Street South, which makes it the most conventionally brunch-shaped room here: 4.5 from 1,721 reviews, one of the larger sample sizes in Naples for a cafe rather than a full restaurant. That volume matters. A high score from a few hundred visits can move; a 4.5 that has held across more than 1,700 is close to fixed. Third Street South parking tightens through the middle of the day in season, so an earlier table is the easier one to get. Find it at 1209 3rd Street South.
3. Caffè Milano
The most reviewed restaurant on this list by a wide margin, with 3,194 reviews behind a 4.6 rating, which is a difficult combination to hold at that scale. It sits at 800 5th Ave S, at the quieter end of the strip. The brief does not list a dedicated brunch menu, so treat this as a late-morning-into-lunch option on Fifth Avenue rather than a scheduled brunch service, and check hours before making the walk. On rating strength alone it is the best-evidenced kitchen in this guide.
4. Sails Restaurant
The highest rating here that also has real volume behind it: 4.7 across 969 reviews, at 301 5th Ave S. Nearly a thousand reviews at that level puts it in a different category from a 4.7 built on a few hundred. It is a dinner-forward address in most people's minds, so a midday visit is the less obvious use of it. No brunch-specific hours are published in our research, which makes reservations or a phone call the sensible first step.
5. Del Mar Naples
Mediterranean cooking at 494 5th Ave S, rated 4.6 across 905 reviews. That is a well-tested score, and the Mediterranean range tends to suit a late morning table better than a heavier menu does. The restaurant publishes its Naples location and menus on its own site, which is the place to confirm what is served before noon. Same caution as its neighbours on Fifth: no separate brunch sitting is listed in our research.
6. The Claw Bar
Rated 4.6 from 686 reviews, tucked at 221 9th St S Ste B, just off the main downtown run. The review count is smaller than the Fifth Avenue rooms above, so the rating is well supported but not yet as immovable as Caffè Milano's. Worth it if you want a seafood-leaning midday table without joining the Fifth Avenue South crowd. Hours are not published in our research, so confirm before heading over.
7. Creme de la Creme - Naples
The name points squarely at pastry and morning eating, which fits the premise better than most, and the 4.7 rating is the joint highest here. The caveat is sample size: 394 reviews is promising rather than proven, and a score that high on a few hundred visits can still move. It sits at 4339 Tamiami Trl N, north of the downtown cluster, which makes it the easier stop if you are not already walking Fifth or Third.
8. The Boathouse On Naples Bay
Included for the location, 990 Broad Ave S on the water, and judged honestly: 4.1 across 2,679 reviews is the lowest rating in this guide, and with that many reviews it is a firmly established one rather than a run of bad luck. What it does have is the bay, a very large body of consistent feedback, and its own site for hours and booking. Go for the setting and the view of Naples Bay, and set expectations at the kitchen accordingly.
