In December 1960, Marcos Battipaglia, Maestro Pastelero (Master Chef speciallized in pastries) founded Pastelería Doris. There you can find cakes, "petit fours", chocolates, sweets, italian icecreams and the best coffee in the area.

Also, they have salty stuff: baked pastries filled with turkey and cream cheese, ricotta and spinach, jam and cheese, "sfogliatella" and also pizza squares.

Since Signore Battipaglia is a big italian soccer fan and a huge Ferrari Formula 1 fan, he has an inmense tv set in the tables area. There you can have breakfast, on a Sunday morning, and see how Shumacher and Barrichello win again and again and again.

Open from TUESDAY until SUNDAY. Mondays closed, even if on their www they say they are open.

They have a delivery service, but is much nicer to go there, sit down, eat pastries and chat for a couple of hours. There is no rush.

Check their www and click everything clickable. You must see the varieties of cakes they have!

Favorite Dish: COLAS DE LANGOSTA = Lobster tails. They are not made out of lobster, nor fish. But they look like a lobster tail. Is a sweet crunchy pastry that comes in solid layers. It is filled with "crema pastelera" (pastry cream... a sweet, thick, non greasy, yellowish cream).

They also have a chocolate filling version. But I rather eat the original.

Hatillo is a colonial village (in the city) about 15 km south east of Caracas city centre. Hatillo is a popular place to visit and here there are many restaurants. One of them is Das Pastellhaus where I ate with my friends. They serve pizzas and salads and have a nice outdoor terrace. The evening we visited it was almost empty indoors, but full on the terrace.
Salads where about 28 Bs, pizzas about 38 Bs and fruit juices 6 Bs (June 2008). To that price, as in many restaurants in Venezuela, 25 % in tax and service is added.

I had about three hours to wait at the domestic hall at the airport and it was lunchtime. I was very happy to find Benihana Sushi as most other places just served fast food like pizza and empenadas and that was not what I wanted at the moment. At Benihana's they have many different combo plates and I had number four, which had eight pieces on the plate (two of each sort). The price 30 Bs (June 2008) also included a Pepsi cola.
If you had changed money on the black market 30 Bs was at this time 10 dollars.

This is a panaderia/deli which beside food, cakes and cookies sell newspapers and magazines. At the counter you can see which food you like to have and then you order from the waitress. You pay at the cashier when you leave. It is not a cheap place but the food was good and you don´t have to wait long. For two meals (one with chicken and one with beef), two coca-colas, one small water and one fruit salad it was 69 Bs (June 2008).

This is a really cute Coffeshop, where you will find also the famous argentian "Alfajores Havana" and too Paninnis for lunch or dinner.

The place its so nice, wood walls with havana Alfajores Box.

Favorite Dish: Paninis!!!! all are so yummy, my favorite its Puerto Madero: grilled vegetables with cheesse.
Also, a Mocaccino coffee and Havanette cone.

First off, its a good idea to bring anti-bacterial toillettes when you go out to eat. 95% of the restaurants I went to en VE didn't have soap.

If in San Cristobal, go to La Guitarra Andaluzza in Barrio Obrero. And try the Sangria there. Anywhere in Barrio Obrero is good.

This is a wonderful and original proposition in the hearth of " Los Palos Grandes". For many years this used to be the place where many production companies had their studios. Now they have converted the place to a mini shooping center with local art galleries and art craft shops.

The restaurant is really unique. The decoration is a mix of different bizarre styles, one wall will have a stack of fabrics lined up and the opposite corner fancy candelliers. Ambience is superb, with soft "Cafe del Mar" style music in the background. The Menu is a mix of local dishes and Pan-Asian dishes. Portions are reasonable.

You must allow enough time, or call to reserve, the place is packed especially at peak time.
