El Santo Taqueria

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (293) • $$

"Set in the touristy heart of Calle Ocho by galleries of Viernes Culturales, El Santo Taqueria provides a spot to satisfy your taco cravings. It's supposedly owned by the same group that runs Kiki and Gramercy; I believe there's even a speakeasy lounge to Santo but my experience was average.The logistics are that you order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table. I started with a generic bottle of white wine (Seaglass?) and ordered both chips and salsa, as well as their el pastor pork burrito. The wine was chilled and a little dry, so no big complaints. Likewise, the chips had a good crisp, and the salsa a mild bite. However, unlike how it used to be, the chips aren't complementary. My main was their Burrito al Pastor, and I will admit it had a nice amount of pork and fixings in it."

"I love meeting up my friend Priscilla here because she's Brazilian-Portuguese so she knows all the names of all the baked goods better than I do at this place and of course she can order in Portuguese!Some of my favorites are: Pao de Dios, Golfeados. They're coffee is amazing as well! We always get the mocha with non dairy milk and it is delicious! The place is always clean and spacious. We're always able to get a big table in the back which is perfect for the whole gang!The servers are very nice and friendly. I know my friend always strikes up a conversation with them in Portuguese so I understand a lot of it but not fully! Lol There is parking right in front of the store. Very convenient especially in the Coral Way/Gables area where parking could be a hassle to find and / or you have to pay. They have their own parking lot and it's free!"

La Terrazza Rooftop Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (16)

"I actually don't even know what the food that's actually served here because when I went, it was for a Christmas party hosted by a law firm that is in Miami. We had burgers and so many other handheld items that I truly enjoyed. The ambience and the entire view is absolutely beautiful. Great scenic view, great food and I'm not sure if it was just the party that was being hosted that allowed us to get free cigars and smoke. If so, then they have a very nice smoke section/cigars. If not, then I guess it was just a delicacy that I got for that event, and for that evening. Outside of that, I would come back to your truly try the food that's here. But for me, ambience and service standpoint, it's absolutely amazing."

La Croquantine de matthieu

★★★★☆ 4.1 (119) • $$

"Quite a nice spot for enjoying a little trip for France.The croissants and desserts in the case look nice enough to be in a fancy French bakery in Coral Gables, not some random plaza in Doral. They taste pretty good too. I got the pistachio croissant and it's literally filled with pistachio cream. Quite a few other flavors to choose from too! We also picked up a few bread to go and enjoyed them as well."

Healthy Delights

★★★★☆ 4.2 (44) • $

"Even though I do not find myself in Doral often because it is on the opposite side of town from where I live, I do enjoy eating healthy and Healthy Delights. I was just there yesterday and because I have followed the all to popular New Years resolution kick of trying to eat healthier, this is a solid place to grab a delicious healthy bite.My favorite item on the menu is the chicken Caesar wrap with a spinach wrap or tomato. I have yet to try the crepes at this place because I am a wrap fan but they do look delicious and will be ordering the crepe the next time I eat here. The restaurant is located inside the food court of the international mall in Doral. I also highly recommend the soups as I got to sample a delicious homemade lentil cream soup that was spectacular."

Osteria Da Fortunata Italian Restaurant

"Took me back to when I was in Italy! Had an amazing time here. We decided to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful Miami weather. The team is fresh making the pasta in front of you so you know it's going to be good. The food was incredible! Our server suggested the carbonara and it did not disappoint. I loved it! So happy we have a piece of Italy here."

"Craving pizza, I jumped on Uber Eats and saw that this place (listed as NYC Pizza II on Uber Eats) was offering BOGO cheese pizzas so I figured why not give them a try. I also got a Greek salad. I really liked the flavor of the cheese pizza. The Greek salad was really good, too. Please send 2 cups of that yummy Greek salad dressing! If I see they're offering specials on Uber Eats, I'd order from here again."

Sweet Manifesto

★★★★★ 4.8 (42)

"Sweet Manifesto is a bakery located in the Shoma Bazaar food hall in Doral. You can park in the garage for $1 and hour or by valet. Sweet Manifesto is the creation of Pastry Chef Robert Gonzalez who grew up in Venezuela learning to bake European style desserts alongside his father. After arriving in Miami, he worked under some of Miami's top chefs eventually becoming the executive Pastry Chef for Myles Restaurant Group where he oversaw Prime 112, Prime Fish, Prime Italian, and Big Pink. He has also been a staple at the South Beach Food and Wine Festival. As soon as I saw the sugary creations in the case at Sweet Manifesto I knew I had to save room for dessert. The appealing layer cakes were enormous and ranged from $17 to $19 a slice. It was so hard to choose between all the mouth watering cakes, cupcakes, cookies, bars, breads, parfaits, and specialties.After doing several drive-bys I finally decided on the personal pineapple upside down cake ($9) and slice of the Devil's Triple Chocolate bread with dark, milk, and white chocolate ($9). I took my desserts to go but the pineapple cake was thoughtfully heated for me first which turned the sugar to liquid gold. The chocolate bread was moist and fudgy making it sinfully good. I loved both my choices but I don't think you can go wrong with anything here. It would be worth another visit to Shoma Bazaar just to try more of Sweet Manifestos tempting creations."

Prime 54

★★★★☆ 4 (395) • $$$

"NEW NAME: PRIME 54So this restaurant has gone through numerous changes, and the first one is a new name, so if you are looking at this place, just know that it is now called Prime 54.We came here for dinner the last night of our stay in Miami, and my gf was stoked to try the Truffle Bread, which she has raved about forever, but sadly, it does not exsist anymore.So, bottom line here is this place will really take care of you. The manager, Tony, truly a gem of a guy. Friendly, accommodating, personable, professional, and will really turn this place into something amazing.Our server, very helpful, attentive, and gave great recommendations for us in terms of what to order, as we got a bunch of apps and some drinks to share.The food was very good. The Brussel Sprouts were delicious, The Octopus was fresh, the Mac and Cheese was alright, very filling though, and the Cesar Salad was the best one I've had out of all of them.A great place to come for a fancy upscale dinner, and also a nice spot to people watch!"

Café Prima Pasta

★★★★★ 4.5 (1323) • $$

"Amazing place! Food, service and ambiance were excellent. As soon as you walk in this place, it gives you a warm, intimate feeling with low lighting - similar to a New York Italian restaurant. My boyfriend and I went on a Saturday night with reservations and it was a full house, packed with a lot of people! Make sure to make reservations or you will wait a while. Loved the decor with photographs of celebrities on the wall. Service was top tier. Our waiter was excellent! He was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive.Food was AMAZING!! Quality and freshness on point.Salmon Carpaccio:Delicious - light, flavorful and fresh! It was drizzled with lemon and capers. This is great for a light appetizer.Fiocchi Rapera:This was my meal and it is my FAVORITE! I believe it's the house favorite as well. Another light dish, pasta purses are filled with pear and cheese and has a flavorful sauce. It was perfect!Chicken Marsala:My boyfriend had this and he loved it. I tasted it as well, and it was delicious - a classic Chicken Marsala, you can't go wrong with.Ricotta Cheesecake with lemon sorbet on the side:Delicious! I would say this dessert was on the heavier side out all our dishes. We probably could of fared better with a creme brûlée. Nonetheless, the cheesecake was flavorful and decadent!Only con to this place: Parking! Circled the block so many times for street parking as the small public parking lot next to it was full. They have Valet parking at $15 though. After circling the block for 30 min, we finally found street parking nearby. If you live nearby, best bet would be to come in an Uber.Will definitely be back!!"

Tea Room at Cauley Square

★★★★☆ 4.1 (332) • $$

"A whimsical super sweet lunch date at the delightful tea room at Cauley square. The restaurant has 4 separate Baroque, English, Parisian themed rooms with ornate plates n pictures, feathers, chandeliers, and cupboards full of tea cups and pots. What is super cute is you can purchase teapots cups and sauces. They even sell French inspired loose tea. Then of course you can sample their teas as well as finger sandwiches, a decadent high tea, brunches and lunches.The Tea Room Restaurant opened in 1979, and was renovated.We loved it. The service was fast and friendly. We tried their chai tea which was delightful. We tried their French onion soup, lentil soup, sweet potato fries, finger sandwich and quiche Lorraine and salad. We enjoyed everything.I will come back with my girlfriends for high tea. Just delightful!"

MaryGold's by Brad Kilgore

★★★★☆ 4 (61)

"Sadly, this restaurant did not live up to the hype. I should've known better. Hotel restaurants are rarely good. I had one of the signature cocktails (un ano mas), which was a bit too sour and tart for my taste.I tried my friend's beignet and that was actually good. I tried another friend's agnolotti (too heavy and rich for me) and heirloom tomatoes (good, but not worth $20 for four slices of tomato!!). I made the mistake of ordering the regular burger for my entree and asked for it well done. It was tougher than a cardboard box. I couldn't even cut it with a steak knife. It wasn't tough because it was well done, it was tough because it was a frozen (not fresh) patty. I know because I've cooked plenty of tough frozen burgers at home. Shame on the restaurant for using frozen patties instead of fresh ones. Why even put this on the menu if you can't make a decent or even edible burger? The fries had a burnt taste and weird aftertaste. I could barely choke down my food. $34 for the worst burger I've ever had. Service was friendly and attentive. Noise level with the live band playing on Friday night was beyond intolerable. It gave me a headache and I had to leave. Street parking is possible, but the area is very shady after dark so you may want to opt for valet if you're by yourself."

Cloud 9 Bakery

★★★★★ 4.8 (74) • $

"Can't say enough about Cloud 9. Everything I've ever ordered from them has been beyond my sweetest dreams! From cupcakes to Apple turnovers, every single baked good is made with love and precision. If you've never been I would highly recommend ordering a Cloud 9 Bar. This is probably their claim to fame...and rightfully so! This little bar of ooey gooey goodness is like a blondie meets a cheesecake. I just went in last weekend and they've started making cocoa bombs, which were soooo mind meltingly delicious when they dissolve into a cup of warm milk. If you're looking to satisfy that sweet tooth, or wanting to impress your guests at your next party, I highly recommend Cloud 9. Bonus...this is a locally owned business!"

Keik Bakeshop

★★★★☆ 4.3 (184) • $$

"Keik Bakeshop is hardcore Barbiecore, a bright, playful, and whimsical trend defined by a very particular shade of pink. Owners and friends Wilfredo Ulacio, Carla Villalobos, Pedro Torres and Alejandra Romero opened their pink themed all-day café in Doral in 2020. They have now expanded to Pembroke Pines. I came in the middle of a rainstorm which played in my favor. There was still a 20 minute wait but by the time I left and the sky cleared, the line to come in wrapped around the building. Inside the small restaurant are tightly packed tables and booths, pink walls, draped florals, and servers decked out in more pink. A glass display case showcases a selection of inviting pastries. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a sweet treat, the towering Keik's cakes in flavors such as Cocosette, Heart Pavolova, Layers Cake Guava Y Dulce De Leche, Rocher Cake, and Strawberry Shortcake are sure to impress. The Keik Bakeshop menu features over the top breakfast and lunch options like Oreo, Banana Split, and Guava-and-Cheese Pancakes, eggs benedict, chicken and waffles, two hand loaded burgers and sandwiches, Brigadeiro Cappuccinos, bowls, salads, and soup. The menu has a lot of interesting and unique sweet and savory options. I ultimately decided on a ham and cheese croissant and a vanilla latte which made for the perfect mid morning treat. The latte was beautifully presented with a pink foam heart on top and the croissant was hearty and filling. I took a slice of the Coconut Almond Cake with me to enjoy later. The attentive service, beautiful decor, and inventive menu make this a popular spot for birthday celebrations, showers, and girlfriend meetups. They were also a number of families enjoying brunch. Note that a tip is automatically included on your check and I appreciate that they pointed it out instead of sneaking it in. It was a pleasure to finally check out this adorable café and I look forward to visiting their new Pembroke Pines location soon."

Bored Cuban

"Loved loved loved! Bored Cuban is a wonderful new addition for Cuban pizza lovers. Or shall I say, Pixa lovers. They have all kinds of Hispanic designer pixas like lechon, vaca frita, and even media Noche style pixas. I went for their classic cheese pixa this time around. And they were amazing to give it to me on the house because I am a teacher! Thanks for the teacher appreciation love. All educators get a free pixa till Sep 4. They sell croquetas and pastelitos as well as burgers. And lots of cute merch. I'm definitely sold. Will be back for sure, it's a total vibe. BTW it's in the same shopping center as Latin Cafe."

COTOA

★★★★★ 4.9 (12)

"This heart led Ecuadorian restaurant is among my top two Miami favorites right now. It's hidden in plain sight, right in Downtown miami. This is only my second time here (tried to get back a few times, but they are sadly closed on Sundays and seem to close around 9pm other nights - a little early for Miami standards). However, I'd say it's definitely worth getting in early and trying the food. You can make reservations and also seems still undiscovered for a spontaneous walk in!From the host to the waitstaff, everyone is very friendly and supportive of each other. Matt took great care of us again tonight and even remembered us from our last visit! The manager checked in later in the meal too. All staff very helpful, professional and welcoming. The food here is amazing. My friends started with the yucca cheese rolls and palo santo butter + corn bread and immediately devoured it. I shared the goat corn empanadas with a friend and wow were they amazing. The corn shell is something special. It's not greasy. It's crispy yet melts in your mouth until the savory salty filling hits you. Fantastic pick. My friends enjoyed the Amazonian fish as well as a vegetable take on their tortellini. Both were beautifully plated and enjoyed. I ordered the goat pasta, which is phenomenal. It seems they changed the pork dish from the first time we visited (prior it was shredded with a very flavorful seasoning on top of pancakes). This dish was good, but honestly not as good as the first pork dish that was on the menu previously. A few felt it was a little dryer than expected and only poked at the corn mix that accompanied the dish, but to be honest this is pulling out of critique from an amazing dish to a not bad one. Any first timer might like it right off the bat. We had ended with the yucca cinnamon donuts + Ecuadorian chocolate. This was a new addition too, I saw it on instagram and it pulled me back. I wasn't disappointed nor my friends. I'm not even a donut lover and I thought this was very well balanced and enjoyable. Ambiance is elevated but not over the top fancy. I think you could get away with a wide range of styles here, but maybe a nice excuse to dress up! I believe the value for the quality and experience is totally worth it. I look forward to returning and seeing what this talented chef and crew has in store for next time! Keep of the great work team! You're doing something very special."
