COCO'S BISTRO – French
Venezuelan comfort cooking on Fruitville Road, made to order and never rushed. Miguel and Diana opened Coco's Bistro in March 2022, and the kitchen still builds everything by hand: the Cowboy's Arepa stuffed with grilled picanha, pico de gallo, handmade queso de mano and shredded llanero cheese; a traditional pabellon of slow-cooked flank steak with black beans, white rice and sweet maduros; patacones layered onto crisp plantain; cachapas folded around soft cheese and nata. Tequenos, burgers and homemade desserts fill out the board. Regulars talk about the portions and the freshness. Closed on Tuesdays. Family-run, and you can taste it.
