The fillets of lau-lau, a fish located in the Amazonian rivers, overlook the morne and impersonal service. Many meat dishes are also on the map, but I couldn't taste everything…

Fish enthusiasts are found on the sesame tuna map (ask for the "blue", that's what he eats) and des shrimp. An efficient card without frills.

Chef Carlos, who has made his classes at Hoffman School in Barcelona, prepares a creative gastronomic cuisine of prime choice. He is also the owner of the places, which pushes him to be irreproachable. A sober atmosphere where wood is at the honor, surrounded by a garden and fountain. A small room directly overlooks the kitchen. Just to drool, here is a dream menu: in entry, fondant and his foie gras, followed by a cod by doughnut with aioli to apples or, if one is rather meat, an oral osso and his polenta of spices Cocoa and ice rum grape; and to finish a chocolate and saffron pear.

A pretty quiet area finally on two levels, very bright with a terrace where one serves local cuisine to Mediterranean trends.

A French bistro left him to a Peruvian. The Inca inscriptions at the entrance remind you. Ceviche prepared in different ways; arroz chaufa - the cousin rice cousin -

not to mention the recipe both Creole and Indian: Dad at Huancaina, rich in vitamins and calories… The place is rather cosy.

An address found by chance, and it often does well… a minimal and luminous frame to wish. The small shaded terrace at the entrance and the room where you have good waves and tasty smells immediately put us in trust. Irina "has created a friendly, almost family-friendly space where the pleasure of eyes does not stop in front of the plate, as cooking works, wine bottles and some delicacies are displayed in a beautiful library. The preparations are both visual and delicious. Here we have eaten the best tabbouleh of our life in cassava (please!) accompanied by a grilled tuna! Beef carpaccio and its oil vinegar and sour-sour mayonnaise; flat, of fish on green tomatoes and cream of leeks; or a pig thigh with a tan and oregano...... Stop there to avoid the bavage on your favorite smart book, tablet or mobile phone!

A hidden address such as the vice: welcome to the best Italian table in the city… no pizza but for the rest Mamma Miia! A minimalist and minimalist place with pastel colours in the background where some antiquities are suspended. The space is not spectacular with the difference, but it is the price to pay to taste an anthology risotto. Timbale of aubergines, langoustines and lentils, homemade ravioli por! A flattering wine card.

A pioneer in Caracas, in a comedores atmosphere in Lima but with a map that also offers Mexican dishes. After sipping a pisco à, this is the time of the ceviche and the famous shrimp chupe. Side of Mexico, the Monterey lamb thigh and the taco are very good.

On two levels in a Madrid atmosphere with elbows on the neighbour's plate. A complete map and generous dishes from all regions of Spain. Manchego cheese, ham that goes well, octopus to Greek, exit from the oven of the lamb and delicious cabrito.

A discreet room, not great. For specialists or a good opportunity to take a well-deserved break after the cure of arepas and empanadas. Oil is prohibited. Monday is Creole, Italian Tuesday, Arab Wednesday, Peru Thursday, Mexican Friday and Saturday surprise party! We must not exaggerate, there are arepas to maize and empanadas, but vegetarian.

The menu consists of dishes from typical Swiss cuisine. The specialty is the cheese fondue and bourguignone. A good address to warm up with family or friends around a good meal, in a chalet spirit where wood is to honor.

Certainly the best pizza in the city. A well-known atmosphere, a wine à la carte wine card and a lamb stuffed with olives. The room is in length; in the bottom of the pizza oven. There is also a bar and a small private room for people. What a joy to rediscover polenta and, for the greedy, tiramisu or cotta panna is required.

Café Venezuela is developing in the Country. You will also find another very good, located in the historic quarter of Caracas. It is a socialist production unit, where liquid coffee and chocolate are affordable for the consumer. Competition had to play the game and lower its tariffs to remain competitive. 

A small local address with a covered terrace that gives directly onto the swimming pool (that of Arapo Island). Simple and efficient cuisine, special mention for criollo criollo and hen soup. 

In the Milford spirit for those who love: possibility to eat at the bar. From Wednesday to Friday from 19 am, live group to animate the evening. A really nice address and a fresh kitchen. Good service with Manuelito the server. Facility to park in front.

The inventive and original cuisine of the owners is a safe value in Puerto La Cruz, the Mediterranean to honour. Expatriates like to get there. 

Behind bars, the small dining room awaits you in a hit setting. Everything is orchestrated by Roberto, the grill maestro. Pizzas, of course, but also pasta: Neapolitan, to cream, roquefort or mushrooms. Agnelottis also. You can eat on-site or take away. Good value for money.

Despite the fact that it is now a franchise, Front retains a good level of quality and simple and goûteuse preparations. Quite paradoxical too, but hamburgers are very good.

A good local economic address for grilled chicken or broche with vegetables or rice. 

A multitude of servers attack you all with peaks filled with such delicious meat as the other ones; the buffet and the grill are at will. A cosy setting with a terrace if you don't like air conditioning. The establishment has been open since late 2011 and we have had the honour of opening it. Special mention for John, the head of salads and buffet, the original presentation of dishes and a unique cheese platter in Venezuela! A golden heart and a fairy fingers, from the top of its two meters you will not be able to miss it. The addition can quickly increase with the wine and the digestive.

For lovers of chick peas and aubergines, meat, taboulet and harness grills. In general restaurants so called «Arab» specialities in Venezuela are often Syrian or Lebanese.

The hotel's buffet restaurant is also open to the public. Count 50 Bs. F breakfast and 100 Bs. F lunch or dinner. A wonderful view from your table. .' s best value for money.

In an intimate and warm atmosphere, you can choose between eating at the counter to trim a mudflap with the boss, in the room or on the terrace on the upstairs. With fresh products of the day, the chef is more than ready to prepare good dishes; the visual aspect is treated. In season it proposes lobster. Special mention for mojitos!

A very clean room that you can't miss with the white and red that predominate. In the morning, we start with a focaccia with rosemary and sea salt, or oregano and Parmesan. At lunchtime, formulas with homemade bread, salads and specialty speciality among braised meat, pasta, chicken etc. And evening, a larger card with pasta to all sauces and shapes, not forgetting the cheese that goes well.

Call before you go because it can close the weekend or try the adventure but early enough because it sometimes turns. A rather past fashion, but it is a central, local and frills restaurant. Service in saw teeth but, on the plate, it is serious: antipastis, pasta, seafood specialities prepared with love. Finally a real pasta al dente!

At Johnny and Jacqueline, the tabbouleh and cream of chickpeas are in honor. Very good spirits (pieces of meat with tomatoes, onions, parsley and spices cooked in the oven) and soup of lentils also. The Byblos menu includes a frit frit, falafel, tabbouleh, chicken rice, hummus, eggplant and garlic.
