Venezuela's
kitchen has
arrived in
Wien.

Hand-pressed maize cakes cooked over open flame, split and loaded with fillings that range from the classic to the audacious.

• La Capitola Shredded beef, black beans, avocado, queso blanco
• Reina Pepiada Avocado, chicken, cilantro, lime — the crown jewel
• Pelúa Slow-braised beef, smoked gouda, plantain jam

Lime does the cooking here. Fresh catches dressed in Venezuelan ají, cilantro, and the kind of heat that makes you sit up straighter.

• Ceviche Mixto Shrimp, octopus, calamari, citrus broth, plantain chips
• Tartar de Atún Yellowfin tuna, sesame, avocado mousse, soya emulsion
• Corvina en Escabeche Marinated corvina, pickled red onion, mango, cilantro

Plates designed to be argued over. Venezuelan comfort food reimagined for a room full of people who actually want to talk to each other.

• Tequeños Golden fried cheese sticks, ají verde dipping sauce
• Patacón con Chicharrón Crispy green plantain, pulled pork, hogao sauce
• Ensalada de Quinua Andean quinoa, cherry tomato, avocado, citrus vinaigrette

Rum from the Orinoco delta, passion fruit from the llanos, and a bartender who takes his job seriously but not himself.

• El Tinto Aged rum, dark chocolate bitters, orange zest, smoke
• Mojito de Maracuyá White rum, passion fruit, lime, mint, soda
• Chicha Royale Purple corn, rum, vanilla, champagne float
