A
Nobu
It’s not everyday that sushi this good comes this cheap, nor is it usually paired with Thai food, but you’ll cure the Asian cravin’ here, at any rate. Nobu is one of a string of modish restaurants with terrace seating at a ‘gastronomic shopping mall’ in a quiet corner of the Los Palos Grandes district. There is no affiliation with world-renowned Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa – in fact, he should probably sue.

El Caserio
This charming, Spanish-owned tasca features low, wood-beamed ceilings extending out from an atmospheric central bar, the whole surroundings of which are packed on weekends and for important soccer matches. The seafood and steaks are both excellent, as are the waiters decked out in traditional bufanda bandanas around their necks. There’s a guard out front, so safety is a priority.

Alto
Caraqueños bowed down to Chef Carlos Garcia’s bold cuisine and decor from the moment the doors opened in 2007: Alto became an instant culinary icon. Local ingredients built around a vanguard Euro-Catalonian framework make dishes like cordero al café (rack of lamb in coffee sauce) worth shelling out the big bolívares. Reservations essential.

Café Casa Veroes
On your walk up to Pantéon Nacional, search out this hidden, open-air cafe tucked away in the leafy backyard of a home-turned-museum donated by the Polar beer family – it’s a true local’s secret. There’s a daily rotating chalkboard menu of modern Venezuelan creations and some of the city’s best coffee. You might not make it to the Pantéon.

Aprile
Much of Caracas’ high society has left the country or disappeared under the radar during the Chávez era – this is one of the spots you’ll find them. The marble bar attracts a beautiful, mature drinking crowd, while the limited Italian menu serves up excellent ceviches (try the salmon martini!), carpaccios and risottos.

Café Olé
This chain has caught on like a California wildfire in Caracas, but here lies its beginnings. Sophisticated wraps, burgers, sandwiches and salads are served in an artistic cafe atmosphere and on a lovely candlelit patio. There’s enough hotness here to sink a Cold War battleship. Additional locations include Centro San Ignacio.

Mi Linda Llanura
For a taste of Los Llanos in the capital, this rooftop party terrace has breezy views over the Asemblea Nacional and serious llanero cuisine, such as carne en vara (beef on a stick), all set to a country-fried soundtrack of joropo. The top floor dining room is rowdier than the other one floor below.

Gran Horizonte
This wildly popular all-hours arepera (restaurant selling arepas – small, thick corn pancakes) near the Centro San Ignacio is a perfect spot for your first arepa – try the mixto con pernil and douse each bite in its house salsas (go easy on the red one). Sandwiches, soups and salads are also served.

Evio’s Pizzeria
There’s pizza and then there’s the city’s best. When famous Venezuelan composer Evio de Marzo isn’t performing, he makes gourmet pizza – six styles to be exact. Locals pack this joint for their favorite – goat cheese and sundried tomato – as well as pasta, empanadas and ice-cold Polar .

El Maute Grill
Don’t let the ramshackle exterior alter your course: this steakhouse – wildly popular with chavistas – serves some of the best beef around, in an open-air courtyard surrounded by brick walls full of Venezuelan-empowering pop culture.

Pastissima
This smart pasta deli offers a wealth of homemade ravioli, tortellini and gnocchi, which you marry with fresh sauces of your choice, and individual gourmet pizzas, all handily available for takeaway. Tough to beat for the price.

Miga’s
A slightly spiffy indoor/outdoor bakery-cafe with army of servers pimping super-fast breakfasts (BsF14 to BsF28), hefty sandwiches, sweet pastries and a handful of rarer fare like shrimp and calamari wraps and Thai salads.

El Mundo del Pollo
Puts other South American pollerías to shame: the rotisserie chicken served here, in a clean, well-to-do carnivore’s temple, is transcendent!

Helados 4D
The only thing Venezuelans love more than cheap gas is this Italian-style ice cream. Get in line. Enjoy!
