El Barquero
Aficionados of fish will be happiest in El Barquero, which has a long list of seafood and freshwater fish dishes cooked to perfection. It is a friendly and well-loved place with personal attention and two dining spaces to choose from: one laidback with music and the other more formal.
Avenida Luis Roche
Tel: (0212) 261 4645.
Price: $$$
El Gourmet Vegetariano
Vegetarian food isn't well understood in Venezuela, where the rump steak rules, but this simple, unassuming little spot breaks the mould, serving up enormous portions of healthy, filling meat-free fare for little more than loose change. It is slightly out of the way and the walk goes through a rough area so best catch a cab.
Avenida Los Jardines
Tel: (0212) 730 7490.
Price: $
La Estancia
Famous for its juicy steaks straight from the Venezuelan plains of the interior, La Estancia is an upmarket restaurant in a beautiful hacienda-style building with wooden interiors, green courtyards and faultless service.
Principal de la Castellana
Tel: (0212) 261 4223.
Price: $$$-$$$$
Restaurant Urrutia
Traditional Spanish restaurants are a mainstay of the Caracas cuisine scene, and this one is particularly recommendable. Situated in a round whitewashed building with a lively atmosphere, it specialises in Basque dishes.
Avenida Francisco Solano
Tel: (0212) 763 0448.
Price: $$
Taiko
Sleek, minimalist and extremely classy, Taiko is in the heart of the city's gastronomic hub, Las Mercedes. It was the first of many Japanese restaurants and sushi bars to reach Caracas, and it continues to be the best.
Calle Trinidad, Las Mercedes
Tel: (0212) 991 6705.
Price: $$$$
