I highly recommend this place! I had the Tierra y Mar and my husband the roasted fish! All so so amazing! Can’t wait to try the rest of their menu

    This was one of the best surprises we had in our weekend trip to Miami. Service, food and ambiance were outstanding. It’s a relaxing atmosphere at the “backyard”, casual and cool. The food is surprisingly delicious. I do recommend Doce.

    Authentic and Creative Peruvian Cuisine – A Must-Try! Our visit to this Peruvian restaurant was an absolute delight! The food was upscale, original, and showcased the rich flavors of Peru with a creative twist. The use of imported ingredients from Peru truly elevated each dish, making for an authentic dining experience. A special shoutout to our waiter, Alexander, who went above and beyond to make our first visit memorable. His friendly and knowledgeable approach made us feel welcome, as he took the time to introduce us to the restaurant’s exquisite dishes and unique cocktails. To top it all off, the dessert was absolutely divine—an unforgettable sweet finish to a fantastic meal. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to experience high-quality Peruvian cuisine!
