I usually dread the site of a buffet, any buffet, because I usually fill two plates instead of one and wish I hadn't eaten more than I could chew. Or, as my mother often said: "Eyes bigger than your stomach?" But the breakfast buffet at Vida in the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida, was too good to pass up. And, to my everlasting credit, I didn't over-indulge myself. Open from 7 to 11 Monday through Friday and 7 to noon on Saturday and Sunday, Vida serves breakfast and lunch daily. But the main attraction is the full morning buffet for early risers. It features omelets to order, pastries, St. James smoked salmon, waffles, pancakes, applewood smoked bacon, farmed eggs, steel cut oatmeal, breakfast potatoes, cereals, bagels, fresh fruit, cured meats, assorted cheeses, yogurt, chicken sausage, toast, even fried chicken. With plenty of coffee and juices. While my wife was satisfied with smoked salmon, breakfast potatoes and chicken sausage, I opted for steel cut oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins, two scrambled eggs with applewood smoked bacon and breakfast potatoes, toast and strawberry jam. A great way to start a day of sunning and sight-seeing.
