From very fashionable restaurants to small street cafes - all this can be found in Caracas. Local residents of Caracas prefer to snack at street vendors by Venezuelan Hamburgers, hot dogs and "Pepitos" (Sandwich from baguette with filling made of fried beef or chicken and home sauce).
By the way, you can also find the same meal and in restaurants at a fair price! As for restaurants and cafes, those who offer Venezuelan traditional dishes are most popular - the same hamburgers and rpitos are so popular, because they include eggs, meat, garlic sauce, vegetables, and all this is served with Friesi potatoes. Very tasty and satisfying. The taste of these burgers is unlikely to be compared with the classic world-famous American hamburgers that you really tried. Be sure to try AREPA - Venezuelan hot corn bread with a variety of fillings on the elevocado, chicken grill, black beans and cheese, amazing dish!
Caracas will offer you as good sushi bars. Yes, and Italian restaurants are just great here! In short, in this city you will definitely find something like.
As I have already written earlier, inexpensive stalls with food here quite a lot, but I would like to mention some.
Chinese Market. (AV. PRINCIPAL EL BOSQUE)
If you find yourself in Caracas on Sunday morning and you have no special plans, go to this Chinese market - Impressions are guaranteed. In the area called El Bosque, every Sunday from 6 am to 12 days the local Chinese community breaks the bazaar. And in general, this part of the city is considered something like Chinatown. People from all areas of the city, as well as tourists come here to learn more about Chinese culture and try genuine Chinese dishes. Great place for Lunch!
The market, in general, is the place where you can buy vegetables, meat and different things, but the Chinese market has long ceased to be "market". This is just a restaurant zone. Here you can find generally all noodles, buns, light Chinese pastries, sushi, roles, sauces. You can walk on the market on foot from the metro station Chacaíto to AV. PrincIpal El Bosque (if tired to walk, better than the word taxi from the subway, and then go far away).
Real Past Pizzas. (AV Río de Janeiro, Las Mercedes)
This place has been there for several decades. And every year of the existence of a cafe is extremely popular. The popularity of the restaurant is that very simple dishes are prepared without any special sings. Such simple hearty Italian food at fairly fair prices.

Il Botticello. (2DA. TRANSVERSAL, ED. TEREKAI, PB. Altamira)
This is a small restaurant located in Altamira. The location of the tables and the total atmosphere in the cafe reminds the intimate Paris restaurant is not very characteristic of restaurants in Caracas. The place is open for lunch from 12 to 3 days, and then the cafe closes to dinner (then it works from 7 to 9 pm). It is a pity that guests are not served on Sundays. The restaurant is often visited by people who work in the area. This restaurant acquired great popularity because of his amazing lasagna, which can be called best in the city at all! The pizza is also good, and prices please, and the quality of food is impressive. If you are not a big fan of Lazagani or pizza, you can recommend to try the carpaccio here (pieces of raw meat, seasoned with olive oil with vinegar or lemon juice) or Calcone (Italian pie, something like a closed pizza in the form of a crescent). The service here is quite fast, the atmosphere is cozy. The nearest metro station is Altamira. And take a cash with you, since with cards here often have problems.
