  • 1. Antigua

    $$$$ | Las Mercedes

    For a romantic evening in Las Mercedes, head to this antique-strewn restaurant that defines itself as a "gastronimic boutique." The Mediterranean-influenced risottos, pizzas, and pastas are consistently good, and the wine list is fabulous. Skip the eggplant carpaccio and cocao-filled raviolis in favor of simpler menu items. While you nibble, you may spend even more time staring at the incredible collection of colorful antique plates, chandeliers, furniture, and bric-a-brac here, but stay focused, because the dessert is well worth it: try crème brûlée tinted with ponche crema (a creamy holiday booze) and milhojas de dulce de leche (millefeuille with caramel).

  • 2. El Budare Del Este

    $$$$ | Las Mercedes

    An old-school Caracas arepa joint, Budare serves up freshly made arepas and cachapas with flair and a wee bit of attitude. There's a huge variety of stuffing options for your arepas; among the most popular are local cheeses such as queso de mano and queso telita. Also scrumptious are the meat options, including carne mechada (shredded beef) and reina pepiada (avocado-and-chicken salad). Be sure to get a batido de fruta, or a fruit shake—we recommend parchita (passionfruit) or lechosa (papaya). This is the best place to end any bar-hopping or theater-going evening: the restaurant is open 24/7, 365 days a year—yes, even on Christmas.

  • 3. Maute Grill

    $$$$ | Las Mercedes

    With a huge central indoor courtyard, Maute Grill is a popular spot for families, couples, and business types. On the menu you will find delectable grilled steaks cooked to your exact specifications. Stick to the traditional Venezuelan cuts such as solomo (sirloin), lomito (tenderloin), or the ever-popular punta trasera (top rump). Be sure to order a side of perfectly hand-fashioned arepitas (little arepas) and yucca. Delicious!

  • 4. Da Guido

    $$$$ | Sabana Grande

    This well-loved, casual, family-style restaurant, with hams hanging from the ceiling and colorful murals depicting the Italian countryside, is filled with locals who enjoy its classic dishes. Manager Eliseo Peserico and his friendly waiters have been serving up delicious gnocchi, ravioli, and fettuccine for more than 30 years. House specialties include roasted lamb and cornish hen with polenta. The meat dishes are the real attraction here.

  • 5. Gourmet Market

    $$$$ | El Rosal

    Serene white spaces define this simple but delicious eatery just outside of the main Las Mercedes thoroughfares, in El Rosal. Just a short walk from the Marriott and THE Hotel, Gourmet Market invites diners to feast alfresco on well-prepared risottos, pastas, brusquetas, and sandwiches (including such favorites as caprese, New York–style tuna, and smoked turkey). A well-edited wine list and helpful waiters attract loads of couples and businesspeople here for lunch, but come dinnertime the scene is more romantic, with lighted bamboo and shrubs protecting the patio from street noise.

  • 6. Haras Grill

    $$$$ | Bello Monte

    Located in a popular shopping mall called El Recreo, this meat restaurant makes up for the fact that it's on the mall's second floor with friendly, rustic charm and bright, floor-to-ceiling photo murals of Venezuelan farmland. The waiters are helpful, and the clientele is mostly shoppers, though some people make the effort to come here just for the consistently good grilled meats, arepas, and cold beers.

  • 7. Lola

    $$$$

    When Sean Penn visited Caracas in 2007, rumor has it he came to sleek, modern Lola for lunch. Perhaps he, too, was perplexed by the wide range of cuisines the menu has to offer: Italian pasta, Moroccan tagine, Chinese dim sum, Venezuelan grilled fish, and fresh Indian naan. This eccentricity (or perhaps indecisiveness) is more than made up for by the incredible bi-level modern space. Try a steak, lamb, or fish dish, and leave room for an inspired dessert, especially the deconstructed bienmesabe, a traditional Venezuelan coconut-and-liqueur cake.

  • 8. Sakura

    $$$$ | Altamira

    A great neighborhood sushi joint in Altamira, Sakura is run by a friendly Japanese chef who speaks both Spanish and English with his diverse clientele. Begin your meal with the tempura mixta (mixed tempura) and go with the chef's tasting menu, which will include various traditional rolls and scrumptious pieces of fresh sushi. Our favorite place to sit is at the bar, with a pot of steaming green tea.

  • 9. Spizzico

    $$$$ | La Castellana

    Grab a seat on the open-air second-floor balcony for a more elegant meal or head downstairs to get your fill of wood-oven, thin-crust pizza. An impeccable wine list complements such dishes as pasta con hongos (wild-mushroom pasta) and mouth-watering roasted rabbit. Valet parking, friendly service, and a nice long bar keep the customers coming.

  • 10. Tarzilandia

    $$$$ | Altamira

    Lush tropical vegetation filled with parrots, tree frogs, and turtles has been part of the experience at this Caracas landmark since it opened in 1950. It's truly memorable just to arrive here: the mostly open-air restaurant is perched just below the Ávila, and the moment you walk through the front gate you see cages of colorful birds and waitors scurrying about carrying trays laden with cuts of meat. There's definitely a theme-park feeling here, but it's fun just the same, espeically on a sunny, breezy afternoon. On the menu you will find well-prepared (if not life-changing) grilled steaks and seafood. The mango flambé à la mode is a delightful way to end your meal.
