A Brunch Worth Waking Up For Brunch at this spot was everything I hoped for and more. From the moment I sat down, the energy was relaxed but lively — the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to linger over coffee and conversation. If you enjoy people watching, this is the place to be. The jazz band was perfect. 10 out of 10! The menu had something for everyone, here you can EAT for the value. The drinks were just as impressive, all you can drink champagne, espresso, martinis, or Mojitos will definitely give you a nice buzz. The staff was attentive our server Rohit was very knowledgeable about the menu and extremely friendly,the whole experience felt like a weekend treat. If you’re looking for a brunch that delivers on both flavor and vibes, this place is a must. Definitely will be back.

Beautifully designed space and vibrant scene. Great view of the ocean as the backdrop. Food and drink menus very creative and delicious. The Island Time cocktail has a nice, subtle heat - definitely a delighter. Highly recommend the Brussels sprouts as well.

South Beach
About the restaurant
Inspired by the Spanish village saloons where old men play afternoon cards and women converse over sips of Sherry, Tropezón means “to stumble” or when you “trip” on something.

For the weary traveler and the lively local, a refreshing escape from the typical; an intersection of sacred geometry where mistakes are excused, and all slippery souls are welcome.

Food
Tropezón’s fare embraces sharing with a tapas-style menu inspired by the flavors of the Andalusian region but deep-rooted with the Arabic influence of the Moors and bright flavors of the Mediterranean coast.

Drink
Anchored by our signature gin infusion program, we pair Andalusian flavors with surprising gin blends. Explore our extensive sherry and wine list, or enjoy a beer all the same.
