Best Bagels And Lox In Miami

By: Effie Orfanides

Lox is a fillet of brined salmon that is generally served as a breakfast or brunch item on top of a bagel. People are generally able to choose what kind of bagel they would like and the flavor of cream cheese they'd prefer to accompany their lox. The sandwich is traditionally garnished with tomato, sliced red onion, and sometimes capers. If you are in Miami, Florida, and you're looking for that perfect bagel and lox, you've come to the right place. Choose any one of the following deli/bakeries for your breakfast, brunch, or lunch, and you will not be disappointed.

This New York Deli has been voted the best deli in all of Florida. They have several different types of bagels to choose from as well as an array of cream cheeses. If you decided to order a large bagel and lox, you will pay about $15 but you will get a really generous portion of salmon. If you choose the small, you will pay a little over $10. Many Roasters 'N Toasters patrons swear by the chive cream cheese and love the flavor when paired with the brined salmon.

Original Lots Of Lox is known for the breakfast fare and their food is so good that people come back again and again. If the name of the eatery didn't give you a big hint at the delicious lox served up on a daily basis, perhaps this synopsis will! The bagels aren't made in-house but they are always fresh and the generous portion of salmon is very tasty. A bagel with lox and cream cheese will run you about $15. Original Lots Of Lox also offers a bagel with lox spread (said to be awesome) which costs about $6.

Toasted Bagelry & Deli

This self-proclaimed "rustic bagel, sandwich, and breakfast joint" is home to one of the best bagel and lox sandwiches in Miami. The eatery was opened by two Egyptian brothers Islam and Khaled, who worked serving bagels in New York and New Jersey before deciding to bring that goodness to southern Florida. A favorite menu item offered at Toasted Bagelry & Deli is the Normandi Lox overstuffed deli sandwich. For $11, you can enjoy this bagel topped with Philadelphia cream cheese, Nova Lox, tomato, onion, and capers. Choose your own flavor of cream cheese (we suggest the jalapeño for a nice kick) for an additional cost.
