Tarzilandia, Turmero

As its name suggests, this establishment has a jungle theme, perhaps inspired by the Avila mountain at whose foot the restaurant is located. No other restaurant in Caracas unites so many exotic elements, from parrots and macaws moving throughout the exuberant tropical vegetation to the bows and arrows mounted on the walls. One might expect the waiters to dress like Tarzan, but things don't go that far. Terraces at different levels permit the enjoyment of nature. Venezuelan entrees include the national dish, pabellón criollo, camarones combinados con frutas (squid combined with fruit), and pastel de tortuga (turtle pie). The menu also features European cuisine and a children's menu.
