Fodor's Expert Review 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.
