Caracas
Origami
Cuisine: Japanese Address: at the mall near the entrance to the metro, at Sabana Grande Timings: lunch only Getting authentic sushi in Caracas is like a quest for the Holy Grail. The sushi at most Japanese restaurants isn’t bad, but it is far in taste from what you might have tasted in other cities around the world. It is usually a blend of local spices that tend to add flavor where the chefs fall behind in replicating Japanese taste. The sushi here, however, is one addictive eating experience. However, the restaurant is little more than a small 20-seater diner that is only open for noon lunches. Service can be a bit slow, as there are just a few waiters. But what you get after the wait is definitely worth all the time you spend in this charming little place. The ice tea makes for a perfect way to round up the meal.
Caracas
Arepera 24 Horas
Cuisine: South American Address: Avenue Casanova, corner of Prolongación Sur Acacias, Sabana Grande Timings: open 24 hours! One place that is always buzzing with life! As the rest of the city falls into sweet slumber, you can fall for the scrumptious local dishes, served in a charming, open-air setting. Do try the hervido, a serving of boiled beef or chicken, and the mouthwatering arepas.
Caracas

Sundays 9am to 4pm, 700pm to midnight Set up and decorated to resemble something between an attic, as the name suggests, and an Irish pub, complete with fading paintings, rustic décor, and creaking antique furniture, this hauntingly alluring little place is a favorite spot for businessmen and students. It offers a range of dishes from all around North and South America, and contains huge plasma screens in the dining hall, attracting a large number of sports fans on big game nights. The restaurant also has a charming little terrace. Recommended for the morning brunch service, very popular among Caraqueños.

Arepazo
Cuisine: Local Address: Con Avenue Principal de Las Mercedes, El Rosal A visit to Caracas is not complete without a taste of the truly authentic Caraqueño dish, the stuffed arepa.

The meat can be grilled, sauced, minced, roasted, fried – you name it! Do not try to make a reservation – there is no phone!
