La Tavola

Tucked away in the quiet neighborhood of Pos Chiquito (near Mangel Halto), La TavolaClick to open side panel for more information offers one of the most intimate and authentic dining experiences on the island. Operated by hosts Juan and Ana as an extension of the Anaté Beach Apartments, this “backyard bistro” eschews the standard restaurant formula. Instead of a fixed menu, guests are treated to a daily changing “Chef’s Surprise” that blends Caribbean ingredients with rich Venezuelan and Latin American flavors. The setting is a charming, lush garden courtyard where tables are set under twinkling lights and swaying trees. Whether you visit for their homemade breakfast (famous for its arepas and empanadas) or their multi-course dinner, the vibe is incredibly warm and personal. It is a place to slow down and connect, often described by visitors as a “culinary hug” where the owners treat every guest like family.
