Miami is full of incredible restaurants and my husband and I have tried many of them, but I have never experienced a brunch like the one we recently had at Eating House in Coral Gables. We finally made a reservation because the few times we tried to just show up and have brunch the line was halfway down the block (and it doesn’t help that the place is quite small). Eating House (which started as a pop up restaurant, sharing the same space as a coffee shop) has become extremely popular with the locals, thanks to the incredible concoctions of Chef Giorgio Rapicavoli. Honestly, I was hooked when I heard of their famous Cap’n Crunch Pancakes with condensed milk syrup (yes folks, condensed milk) and their Cuban bread torrejas with guava and cream cheese! Now mind you, I am much more of an eggs and bacon kind of gal for breakfast, as opposed to sweets, but I was very intrigued to try these dishes. And of course, it didn’t take much convincing when hubby heard Cap’n Crunch and condensed milk in the same sentence! Take a look at this:
Cap’n Crunch Pancakes, smothered in condensed milk syrup
Cap’n Crunch Pancakes, is a stack of pancakes topped with condensed milk ‘syrup’, candied cap’n crunch, and whipped vanilla butter. As I was expecting, my husband loved this dish! Cuban Bread Torrejas, are a Cuban-inspired version of French toast made with Cuban bread, a guava/iron beer syrup and melted cream cheese, topped with Maria cookie streusel. For the first time in my life, I actually found a dish too sweet, and could only take a few bites…but oh my, were they delicious. Both of these dishes were huge, definitely large enough for 2-3 people to share, and then some…
Cuban Bread Torrejas…slices of heaven
To round things out, my daughter ordered some BK hash browns served with housemade roasted ketchup and candied applewood smoked bacon cooked with brown sugar. Both were delicious too!

They serve many other items on their brunch menu, and of course make sure to check out their lunch and dinner menus as well. So if you’re in the Miami area and you’re looking for a truly delectable dining experience, I recommend you give Eating House a try. I’m ready to go back for dinner soon. Have you eaten at this wonderful place? If so, I’d love to hear what you liked best!
