Just west of Miami International Airport, Doral is a thriving residential area with a rich South American community. Whether you’re spending an afternoon exploring Downtown Doral, enjoying a shopping excursion to CityPlace Doral or visiting the Doral Contemporary Art Museum, an exciting restaurant is never far away. From Peruvian, Venezuelan, Argentinean and Spanish cuisine to buzzy food halls and breweries, here’s a taste of the best restaurants in Doral.

Pisco y Nazca Ceviche Gastrobar

Situated in the heart of Downtown Doral, Pisco y Nazca Ceviche Gastrobar is a popular destination for contemporary Peruvian cuisine in a stylish setting. Drawing inspiration from Peru’s famed ceviche eateries, Pisco y Nazca’s dining room boasts a lively bar with views into the open kitchen. The ceviche sampler paired with an expertly blended pisco sour is an excellent way to start before moving onto entrées like classic lomo saltado wok-seared beef tenderloin and chaufa rice dishes.

The Doral Yard

The Doral Yard is the place to go for a taste of Greater Miami & Miami Beach in one vibrant indoor-outdoor setting. Founded by Della Heiman as a community gathering space fostering entrepreneurship, The Yard features a rotating collection of local restaurants in a food hall setting anchored by Chef Eileen Andrade’s Barbakoa by Finka, which features sumptuous Latin-Asian fusion fare. The Doral Yard has a stacked lineup of events and a stage for live music and cultural performances.

Novecento

For an elegant meal while exploring CityPlace Doral, tuck into Novecento. An Argentinean bistro with European sensibilities, the airy, two-story restaurant exudes old world charm with its open wine cellar, tile floors, and natural wood and stone finishes. Its menu ranges from classic South American bites, like empanadas, ceviche and provoleta, to homemade pasta and parilla grill platters featuring choice cuts of steak, chicken, chorizo and more, designed for sharing.

Tripping Animals Brewing

To get a taste of Miami’s sudsy craft brewery scene in Doral, make your way to Tripping Animals Brewing. Its massive tasting room inside an industrial space is anchored by a wraparound bar with plenty of tables, lounge seating and an eclectic ’70s vibe. Their Trippy Kitchen is a unique fusion of Latin American and American cuisine that offers a vibrant menu by Chef Estefania Andrade, whose flavors pair perfectly with craft beer, including everything from a charcuterie board to ribeye steak, Weiner sausage hotdogs and a bacon cheeseburger.

Shoma Bazaar

A food hall designed to showcase Miami’s rich culinary landscape, Shoma Bazaar spans six separate zones, highlighting different types of cuisine (think street food, Americana, raw bar, bakery, etc.). With its rotating collection of 15 vendors, a visit to Shoma can feel like you’re embarking on a highly curated tasting of foods from around the world. One moment you’re indulging in fresh seafood at Pokemia, the next you’re sampling Persian street food at Shahs of Kebob, and later it’s Venezuelan fare at Doggi’s Arepa Bar. With ample indoor seating, the stylish space is anchored by the Shoma Bar & Lounge, serving craft cocktails.

Bulla Gastrobar

Anchored by a central bar with high-top communal tables, Bulla Gastrobar is a perennial favorite for modern Spanish tapas in a lively, convivial setting. You’ll find all your favorite classic tapas alongside creative preparations with a Latin American twist.

Then take your pick from the mile-long tapas list, which includes croquetas, octopus, patatas bravas, a Spanish omelet, codfish fritters, meatballs and more. Bring a hungry bunch and prepare to feast.

La Uchireña

Doral is home to a vibrant Venezuelan community, making it the perfect place to sample authentic South American cuisine. La Uchireña is a longtime favorite for arepas just like Abuela makes them.
