La Posada De Cervantes

Caracas, Venezuela

Tucked along bustling Urdaneta Avenue in the heart of Caracas, this tapas restaurant-bar feels like a real find. You’ll know you’re in the right place when you see a bust in the window of namesake Miguel de Cervantes, the Spanish author who wrote Don Quixote. Inside, the place has a cosy, lived-in feel, where locals line the bar and tables invite you to settle in for a few hours. This family-owned ‘tasca’ (the Spanish term for a traditional tavern or pub-style bar specialising in tapas) hums from opening to close. Order a beer, glass of wine or a sbagliato and marvel as waiters balance trays loaded with sharing delicacies. Crisp croquettes; piles of squid rejos; grilled sardines; patatas bravas; prawns with lemon and paprika; lamb shank with dates and za’atar… keep the small plates coming until you can’t eat another bite. Or jump straight to the rice and pasta-focused mains. Either way, this genial place is somewhere to write home about – Cervantes would approve.
