After having breakfast at Café Cacique, you may never again settle for coffee and toast. The traditional Venezuelan feast features Criollo dishes such as Arepas with caraotas (black beans), Guyanese cheese and telita cheese, and Beef and Chicken Desmechadas slow-cooked in tomato sauce. For larger appetites, the Grand Tamanaco is Caracas’s most complete breakfast. After browsing the buffet or the à la carte menu, you’ll enjoy your selections in the air-conditioned dining room or on the terrace.
La Cabaña has several claims to fame, starting with an enviable poolside location. Caracas’ most famous pizza comes next, thanks to a special flavour achieved as it’s roasted over tropical wood in a traditional oven. Stone-Cooked Steak and other tempting Venezuelan menu items keep this outdoor restaurant on everyone’s list of favourites for a casual lunch or dinner.
Very formal, very refined and very French, Le Gourmet is dining par excellence. Award-winning executive chef, Thomas Fernandez, a star on Venezuela’s culinary stage, creates modern French and international cuisine with the slightest hint of local flavours. Selections such as Ceviche de Pato (duck) with Sweet Potato Crisps and Tournedo Rossini with Terrina of Foie Gras with Black Truffles are served amid the soothing strains of classical piano and violin music.
