Venezuela Food and Drinks

Typically Venezuela food is fish and shellfish which both have a very high quality. Venezuela and especially Margarita Island has a matter of course almost everything when we talk about the fruits of the sea.

One plate of giant high quality shrimps is going to cost you about $10, a dozen oyster $1 and a huge steak about $5. Beer and South American wines are cheap; a bottle of wine costs about $3. In a small grocery the price for at a bottle of water is about $0.6.

The national dish is pabellon which consists of stewed and shredded meat accompanied by rice, black beans and banana. This dish is absolutely okay but rather put your money on fish and shellfish which maybe is a little more expensive, but tremendously fresh and tasteful.

One of the most significant foods in Venezuela is the Arepas, which is a kind of bread. This unique dish is made of corn flour, water and salt.

Since this special kind of bread is wide popular in and around Venezuela itīs easy found in the small restaurants around Margarita. Arepas could be topped and eaten with almost everything like cheese, ham, jam, chicken, etc.
