Jugo de ca?a is sugar cane juice, mixed up with crushed ice with a squeeze of lime. Very refreshing on a hot caracas day! Make sure you taste the jugo before leaving the stall so you can ask for some extra lime if you think it's too sweet. Personally I think it tasts better when a little more sour than what they give you. Leave a Comment Theme: Street VendorPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensive |
For those you have the ambition visiting every Hardrock caf? in the world (and getting a T-shirt to proove they were really there) there is one in Caracas too. It's pretty recent and -so I've heard- lives up to the expectations of the fans!

Nothing special about the american deli, I just went in because I was in need of some Oreo milkshake ;) For what you get, the AD in Caracas is overpriced and not a place I would advice anyone to go to...

This restaurant is great because you can make your own burger. They give you the bread and the meat, and you can add it anything you want
I always have the junior burger, but if you´re really hungry you can have the chipi´s burger, it´s very big!!! Leave a Comment |
If you are in Caracas, or in any city in Venezuela, you must go to an arepera, there you can try our typical plate. It´s like a sandwich, but different... you can eat it with anything you want: cheese, ham, meat, chicken, etc...i´m sure you´re gonna love it!!!
I specially like the one with yellow cheese...;) Leave a Comment |
IT'S AN "AREPA"!!! That is a "must" in a venezuelan table. A round white arepa made with corn flour. Is our own, local, beloved equivalent to bread.
But we also have plenty of bread. All sorts of them: french, whole weat, american loafs, etc. But the "arepa" is like a piece of a venezuelan heart. No, a piece of a venezuelan stomach.
There are a bunch of AREPERAS all over. This our traditional fast food place. But good fast food. There, as if it was a sandwich, you can eat arepas with all kinds of things inside: chese, shreded meat, tuna salad, chicken salad and avocado (that one is called "Reina Pepiada"), saussages, ham, etc.
No, no marmelade, no honey, nothing sweet inside of an arepa.
And that is something foreigners love to do. Arepa with jelly... Oh well! Help yourself, go ahead, eat it that way if you wish. Maybe a venezuelan, a table near by, will say: "Yuk!"... But that is ok, you can eat your arepa with whatever makes you happy.
These places are absolutely informal. They are open all day and most part of the night too. It is very funny to see people -very, very, late in the evening- coming out from an elegant party, or from a rehearsal at the theater, or from a long day of extra hours at work, and all of these characters metting in an arepera.
I dont like arepas.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
I must be the only venezuelan that doesnt likes them and I'm well known for the wonderfull arepas I bake. Can you believe that?
If I had to eat an arepa, because there is no other choise, it will be a QUESO GUAYANES one. An arepa filled with a very soft white nonsalty cheese of ours. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalComparison: least expensiveAddress: Any place where you read "AREPERA"Directions: Now there are more sophisticated and chic areperas and they are called Areperias. It's the same thing, but more expensive. I wouldnt go to an Areperia. I preffer Areperas. |

"El Canalito" is a light, a moderate vegetarian restaurant. It is not for 100% vegetables lovers. Besides the vegetables platters, there you can find dishes with poultry, fish or cheese. The people who go there dont look like sleepless flower-eaters hippies from the XX century; neither like carrot, lettuce and peanuts fans who have gone nuts. No. There you find regular people (many of them from the offices near by) who want to eat healthy, yummy, fast and at a very reasonable price. If you want a table just for yourself, you have to arrive before noon. If you go to eat on the "rush hour" (from noon to 2:00pm) you will have to share your table with three total strangers, which could be a great experience for a foreiner in my country. Venezuelans are highly talkative and friendly people. I you stare at your plate and mumble something like: "Mmm... I wonder what this green stuff is..." inmediately EVERYBODY will tell your their opinion about it. My friend Joannie Slattery-Burke, from Lexington, Ky, who has travelled a lot, says that "Oh, what a riot!" would be to get locked in an elevator with a bunch of venezuelans... She is right. We talk and talk and talk and talk...
JUNE 2003 UPDATE: now they have delivery service. If is just for one meal, you have to pay less than one U.S.$ for the delivery. If you order more than one meal, then the delivery is for free.
Whatever has eggplant on it. All of their eggplant dishes are great, fat free, flavor full, delish... You eat very well and dont gain any weight.
JUNE 2003 UPDATE: the dishes with yellow sweet "plátano" (a very big banana) are exquisite as well. Plátano stuffed with vegetables and soya "meat". Reaaaaaally good.
JANUARY 2004 UPDATE: New owners, new administration, ambience and food better than ever (same prices!).

Canalito means, little chanel. |

Yes, you no longer have to go alllllllllllllllllll the way to Italy in order to eat some of the finest italian icecreams!!! Of course, nothing compares to the glamour of going to Varese (northen Italy), in an autum afternoon, to eat a marron glacée icecream with "panna" (whipped cream). But, fortunatelly in Caracas we have several 4D (right now I can think about 3 of them). Nocciola icecream, nutella, gianduia, tiramisú, pistaccio, very-trully-deep-inside chocolate, capuccino... and about 20 more. They also have sherberts and yogourt icecream.
Nocciona icecream is my favorite. It is so good that when you taste it, if you close your eyes, you can imagine yourself next to the Como lake on a clear day surrounded by happy people. Leave a Comment Theme: Ice CreamPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: At "La Castellana", "Las Mercedes", "Sambil Mall".Directions: The easiest place to go is to the Sambil Shopping Mall. But since I hate malls, I go to "La Castellana", eat icecream and see the mountain "El Avila". Big pleasure! |

I dont think we have one of those places. Not only in Caracas, the capital, but in Venezuela, the country.
If I´m wrong I wish that someone will correct me. But I havent heard about one of those places in my entire life.
But we certanly dont have the all-you-can-eat tradition.
If you are planning to invest in Venezuela, that is something to think about. A restaurant -with no competition at all- where people go to stuff themselves. Now... would venezuelans like that? I certanly dont.
Maybe if it was an all the ice cream you can eat... that I would love! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: nowhere in Caracas, and probably in Venezuela |
