Fodor's Expert Review Paladar Venceremos
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
This intimate home-based restaurant feels like an elegant outdoor dinner party. The six-course prix-fixe menu features fusion fare, such as porcini mushroom soup with truffle oil, filet mignon with pancetta brown sauce, and lavender flower sorbet. Le Cordon Blue–trained chef Carlos Caula sources nearly all ingredients locally, and everything from the pasta to the pastry crust is made in-house. Guests are served on the chef's spacious flagstone-and-tile patio with sweeping city views. Lit candles, light strands, wicker-and-wood-furniture, and sparing decor exude an earthy elegance and keep the focus on the food. Dinner is served promptly at 7:30 pm on Friday and Saturday. The weekday lunch offers a wallet-friendly selection of artisan sandwiches, soups, and salads. Scout out the menu online and call ahead with any special dietary preferences. The wine selection is limited, so bring your own libation for a corkage fee of Rwf 5,000 (US$7).
