Why Everyone’s Booking Brunch at Rooftop @1WLO

There’s brunch, and then there’s brunch elevated above the skyline, surrounded by greenery, city energy, and that unmistakable daybreak glow. In the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale, Rooftop @1WLO has become the go-to destination for rooftop weekend brunch, with a menu as lively and layered as the city it overlooks.

Whether you’re a local looking for a Sunday reset or visiting South Florida in search of a standout experience, this rooftop brunch isn’t something you’ll stumble upon; it’s something you plan for.

A Rooftop Escape, One Floor Above It All

Situated above the bustle of Las Olas and the New River, Rooftop brings a new perspective to brunch in Fort Lauderdale—literally and atmospherically. Its open-air rooftop transports guests to a lush, garden-in-the-sky oasis surrounded by skyline views and sun-drenched vibes.

What sets this rooftop brunch apart is the feeling of arrival. From the second the elevator doors open, you’re met with swanky-meets-laid-back energy, vibrant greenery, and seating designed to let you sip, savor, and stay awhile.

This isn’t a table-and-toast brunch. It’s a scene.

The Menu: Fresh, Flavorful, and Newly Upgraded

The brunch menu at Rooftop @1WLO was already a crowd favorite, but recent updates have pushed it into must-try territory. The dishes here aren’t just breakfast items with a twist; they’re creative, balanced, and built for both indulgence and Instagram.

Highlights from the current menu include:

• Avocado Toast, reimagined with avocado hummus, burrata stracciatella, cauliflower salsa macha, and grilled multigrain. A layered, creamy, spicy take on a classic.
• Steak & Egg Frites, featuring a 6oz hanger steak a la plancha, a sunny-side-up egg, black garlic aioli, and truffle fries—a dish that’s as bold as it is comforting.
• Ham & Cheese “Cranini”, a buttery croissant panini with prosciutto, Swiss cheese, a sunny egg, and a peppery arugula salad that balances richness with freshness.
• The Salmon Bagel Tower, a towering centerpiece of Nova smoked salmon, cucumber, tomato, red onion, dill, capers, and cream cheese, served with an everything bagel. It’s a showstopper that brings the “wow” to the table.

Each dish is crafted to be flavorful without being fussy, satisfying without being too heavy. It’s brunch that keeps you lingering.

Bottomless Bubbles, Rooftop-Style

What makes a rooftop brunch in Fort Lauderdale moment truly hit? A glass that stays full, without ever having to ask. Rooftop offers a two-hour bottomless experience that’s anything but basic.

Think crisp house sparkling wine catching the sunlight just right, mimosas that strike the perfect citrus-to-bubble balance, and refreshing bellinis with a hint of sweetness. For those who prefer something bold, the bloody mary delivers a savory punch, while the red sangria offers a fruit-forward sip with just enough edge.

For the non-drinkers (or the pacing pros), the Garden Retreat made with Seedlip Garden 108, cucumber, strawberry, lemon, and a splash of Fever-Tree ginger beer is refreshing, nuanced, and completely zero-proof. The selection is curated to complement the food and the mood, making every pour feel like part of the experience rather than just a refill.

Brunch, But Make It All Day

Rooftop isn’t just a midday affair. On Sundays, the full menu is available from 12 PM to 9 PM, so you can roll in for brunch and stay for bites, dinner, or drinks as the sky turns from cerulean to electric. Whether you’re leaning into slow Sunday energy or looking for a low-key way to close out the weekend, the rooftop is ready to host.
