Brunch is a big business in Fort Lauderdale. Many a mimosa have been sipped and deals signed over a leisurely Sunday Brunch and it is truly one of the great joys in life. I love a great brunch and in terms of atmosphere and offerings, Pelican Beach Resort, really delivers a fabulous brunch. With a wide back porch steps from the Atlantic Ocean, it really has the feel of the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and the service would trick you into thinking that as well, since the food is delivered with sweet Southern charm.
The price per person is very reasonable as well, at $39.95 for unlimited Bloody Mary’s and Mimosas and an impressive array of items to choose from served station style. There are six stations and they have a wide variety of foods on each station. On the Cold Display, there are salads, ceviche, tropical fruits, deviled egg salad with caviar and assorted pastries. For carnivores, the Carving Station offers Eggs Benedict, bacon, country sausage, featured fish, featured chicken, paella, and seasonal vegetables. The seafood display contains shrimp and smoked salmon. International Cheese and Fruit Display offers quiche, baked brie, and assorted cheeses and fruits. The Action Station is manned with chefs cooking up omelets, Vanilla Waffles, fresh carved ham and roast beef, and make your own pasta with penne and tortellini. If you have any room left after visiting these stations, the dessert station contains mini mousse cups, petite fours, and assorted cakes. As an additional treat, you have an incredible view of the Atlantic Ocean.
