Great choice!! THE…read morePLACE: Located in a small Hialeah shopping center, some free parking is available. Inside, the restaurant fully transports you out of the 305 with danity, quirky and cute decor, and cozy lighting. Only tables available. seating inside and out by parking lot. THE FOOD: For starters, we had the cheese, bread and honey dish - 4/5 warm, crunchy, gooey goodness. I also had the French onion soup 5/5, probably the best ive ever had! incredible flavor profile perfectly balanced and salted. For entrees, my husband went with a oxtail with mash dish they had on special that day 1000/5, too bad eating with your hands and licking your plate is frowned upon lol - it deserved that! I had the Pan seared branzino 2/5 - now hear me out - it was five out of five in texture, soft and buttery, and presentation BUT it was cook with SO MUCH BUTTER, that the roof of my mouth & tongue were coated in it and I couldnt tastes anything else! It was so much butter that I felt my lips, tongue and throat irritated. Additionally, im not sure why they didn't pair this dish with a mash or a roasted potatoes, instead of only cooked down spinach. THE SERVICE: Reservations are strongly encouraged - so I made mine with Resy. Through Resy, I confirmed my reservation and had it all in text & email. Upon arrival, their system didnt pull it up. However, the manager (?) was kind, gentle and gracious, sat us at a table. Our waiter was fantastic! So charismatic, and was well versed on all the dishes and how they were made. I believe she said she's been with the team a few years now. From what I understand, a sister restaurant was just opened in Miami Beach, so I hope to be able to give that one a try aswell - maybe for my birthday in two weeks?

Blue Matisse at the InterContinental Hotel in Doral is truly one of Miami's hidden gems. Every…read morevisit feels like a top-tier culinary experience paired with exceptional hospitality. The food is consistently outstanding--beautifully presented, flavorful, and crafted with real passion. I want to give special recognition to Hotel Manager José, whose leadership clearly elevates the entire guest experience. His professionalism and warm presence make every visit feel personal and memorable. The service team is nothing short of world-class. German, Boston, Maria, Carolina, JP, Mazzie, and Cynthia deliver hospitality at its highest level. Each of them goes above and beyond to make guests feel valued, remembered, and taken care of. Their attention to detail, friendliness, and genuine care are what set Blue Matisse apart from every other restaurant in the area. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Blue Matisse is consistently exceptional. Five stars all the way--and highly recommended to anyone visiting Doral or looking for a phenomenal dining experience.

I was recently in the mood for a good coffee in Doral, let's just say it's not easy finding coffee…read moreshops here. But I did end up finding this adorable spot called Sweet Paris. I stopped by quickly to put in my order for a iced French toast latte, and let me tell you, WOW! It literally tasted like French toast. Man, it was so delicious. The price was good, the typical price you would find in any small coffee shop. The only problem I had was it took 25 minutes to get my coffee, which isn't crazy, but you wouldn't expect that in a location where you would think there would be more people working at that time, not just two people serving at lunchtime. Other than that, the location is beautiful, and the parking wasn't too hard to find.

I stopped by after the lunch rush to have a hialeah heat sandwich was the perfect version of typical cuban sandwich with a kick. I loved the touch of spicy in my sandwich. I also had a cafe bom bom that was really good. Loved the condensed milk. The girl who served me was very attentive to me when I visited and helped me with any questions i had; made me feel very welcomed. When i couldn't finish my coffee she packed it up for me in a to go cup.

The first time I came here was two years ago and I remember how good the trigo shake and islas…read morecanarias croquetas were. Was meeting with some friends for an early lunch last week and I suggested this restaurant. The inside is not that big and parking is terrible, but I figured the food would make up for it. Very few tables inside but it was clean and has a counter area where the customer can sit or can sit and wait for their to go order. Not sure what has happened during the past two years but the food wasn't that great this time around. We shared the simple egg sandwich with bacon, and ordered a cafe con leche, the croqueta sampler and some islas canarias croquetas. The simple egg sandwich was unflavorful. The croqueta sampler and islas canarias croquetas were my favorite. Sadly, the cafe con leche didn't even taste like cafe con leche. Our waitress seemed overwhelmed although it was just our table and two more tables she was serving. There was a total of maybe 8 customers. We had to keep asking her for more water and napkins.

We had Sunday brunch at La Boulangerie in Doral and I'm still thinking about it…read more The place is adorable -- a modern-vintage vibe that honestly made me feel like I'd stepped into a little café in Amsterdam. Super cozy but still bright and stylish. We ordered the brioche chicken sandwich and... wow. I don't even like chicken (I was just planning to try a bite from my husband's), but it was out of this world. I kept going back for more -- the brioche was soft and buttery and everything together was just chef's kiss. Absolutely divine. The cappuccino was also perfectly made with a special touch -- you can tell they really care about their coffee. But the real highlight of our visit was our waitress, Alexa. She was so warm, sweet, and genuinely helpful -- the kind of person who makes you feel like you're being taken care of by a friend, not just a server. If you visit, ask for her... you'll understand We'll definitely be back!

It is a really cute breakfast place, and feels like an easy option to bring people if you are visiting the area. I really liked the special that they were running, which was a salmon and egg croissant sandwich. There were lots of buttery layers on the croissant, and there was plenty of filling. Plenty of seating inside, and larger portions. Everything was pretty yummy! I didn't try their coffee or other drinks, but if it is anything like the food I would wager it is a solid choice. Service was a little slow, and it took a bit to get our check. But our food came out super quick and was well made. I definitely think it is a solid breakfast option if you are in the area and can see myself coming back to maybe try one or two more things on their menu.

The lunch special was reasonably priced, service was attentive, and everything came out quickly. Just note that an automatic 18% gratuity is included. Definitely worth the visit -- I'll be finding reasons to work in this area again!

From the moment we walked in, the customer service was excellent. The host and wait staff paid attention to every little detail and made us feel genuinely welcomed. To start, I ordered the cachapa and the lomo saltado empanada, and both were incredible. The empanada especially was packed with flavor. My wife had the bandeja paisa bowl, and I went with the risotto lomo saltado. That dish almost put me to sleep in the best way possible. Comfort food level 100. We had to finish the night with one of their coffees, and it was the perfect ending to the meal. Big shoutout to our server Elvis, who guided us through the menu and gave great recommendations. Usually menus with influences from so many different cultures can feel all over the place, but Luka somehow pulls it off perfectly. They're not just trying to do a little bit of everything. They truly feel like masters of it all. Definitely coming back.

Hoy visité Luka Restaurant por primera vez y me quedé completamente sin palabras…read more No soy ni colombiana ni venezolana, y precisamente por eso mi experiencia tiene tanto valor: no necesité que esos sabores fueran los de mi infancia para que me conquistaran por completo. Cada plato que probé fue una obra maestra -- la variedad, la sazón, la perfección en cada detalle. Una comida que trasciende fronteras y nacionalidades. En más de dos décadas viviendo aquí, jamás había comido algo tan auténtico, tan bien ejecutado, sin poder hacerle una sola crítica. Ni una. Hasta el café fue impecable. El lugar es hermoso, la atención cálida y genuina, y se siente el amor y la dedicación detrás de cada cosa que sirven. La buena comida no necesita que seas de un país específico para tocarte el corazón, solo necesita estar hecha con alma. Y en Luka, el alma se siente desde el primer bocado hasta el último sorbo de café. ¡Volveré sin duda!

The café has a cozy, slightly gloomy vibe, which I personally love in a coffee shop. It creates the perfect atmosphere to relax and unwind. You pay first at the counter and then find your seat, which makes the process smooth and easy. The pricing was reasonable too, typical coffee shop prices for really good quality drinks. The staff was really sweet and welcoming as well, which made the visit even better. Definitely a spot I'd visit again.
