We came here because 20% of the bill is going to be donated to Venezuelan non-profits to aid the people of Venezuela. The service was great and the food was wonderful! We had beef, chicken, and vegan arepas. For dessert we had Homenaje A Papa and Cocotero. The beef on my arepa was very tender and with great flavor. Highly Recommend!

I'm so glad that I found Crasqui because the food here is immaculate. It is absolutely delicious and honestly, after tasting the Pisca Andina, my first impression is that--maybe I was born in the wrong culture because I should have grown up on this delicious food from the Venezuelan culture. Our waitress was beautiful and explained everything perfectly. She explained what the uncommon ingredients in the dishes were, told us of her favorite menu items, informed us of the portion sizes (she recommended the larger portions to be shareable), and introduced new dishes on the menu. She was very professional, amicable, and courteous. She allowed us ample time to savor our "appetizers" before asking us to order the main course. We ordered: Pisca Andina, which simply put, is a chicken broth-based soup. It was simply plated, with the poached egg and other soup vegetables in the center of the dish. Then, the chicken broth was poured into the dish by the waitress. At first glance, I didn't think it was anything special--but upon bringing the spoon up to my lips, the scent of the soup was amazing and I just felt it in my soul that it was going to be an amazing dish. After taking the first spoonful, I was hooked; this dish will be one of those flavors that I will search for, for life. Overall rating for this dish is 1,000,000/10 (Disclaimer: We all have different palates so you may not be as content as I was with it.) Tequenos, a Venezuelan rendition of cheese sticks. I'm a lover of mozzarella sticks (and any cheese sticks in general) but these cheese sticks were off the charts for cheese-stick rankings. So delicious! I told my husband it's giving "expensive but worth it" vibes. I'm not sure what type of cheese it was; the waitress did explain it, I just forgot. Overall rating was 10/10. I would get them again! Fancy cheese sticks are calling my name. If you do go, make sure to try it without the dipping sauce first so that when you do use the dipping sauce, it's a comforting explosion of flavor. Desayuno Criollo, the simplest way for me to describe it would be super-fancy-Venezuelan charcuterie board. Every accompaniment to the shredded beef was sooo tasty. Overall rating is 8/10; it was delicious, but nothing can beat that soup! Juices, Crasqui offers multiple flavors of juice. I asked the waitress if we were able to mix the flavors and she approved since we were the only ones in the restaurant at that hour. We tried mango-passionfruit and guava-passionfruit. Mine was the guava and upon drinking it, I immediately felt refreshed and rejuvenated. It felt like the refreshing feeling you get after consuming or smelling mint, but instead, fruity. It was a perfect complement to have on a Sunday brunch. My husband had ordered the mango and his was super amazing (admittedly better than my choice). We wanted to order some juice to go but there were no takeout cups available. We'll just have to come back then! Overall rating for juices is definitely a 10/10 as well! My husband also ordered a chicken empanada which I did not try unfortunately. I bet it was awesome too though! At the end of the meal, we found out that the waitress was actually the owner of the establishment! Her pride in the dishes truly shone bright and I could tell she put a lot of love into the place. The ambience was elegant and being there felt as if I was enjoying my own little vacation to Venezuela right here in the Twin Cities. The decor of the restaurant was simple with tastefully placed bursts of color from the different small clusters of flowers on the table setting. Again, we went for brunch, so the full glass windows provided perfect lighting for photos, whether the pictures are of the food or your gorgeous date. My overall experience was amazing. It was nice because we were the only patrons in the restaurant for a while. It felt very intimate and personal, which I absolutely adore. So while the food is undeniably great, the environment and vibe of the restaurant further enhances the dining experience. I can't wait to come back for dinner!

Friendly atmosphere and I like that this is a woman owned business. The authentic food was delicious, I tried things I haven’t tried before and their staff was very friendly. I would love to come back!

We go here for date night and it has always been delicious. Went over Valentines weekend and it was very fun! They had live music and the performers were great! The food has always been delicious. Definitely recommend the tequenos as an appetizer - they are a consistent order for me. The steaks are delicious and cooked perfectly. They have tasty options for vegetarians too! Everything we’ve tried on the menu was tasty.

Beautiful food. Authenticity features prominently in a variety of popular Venezuelan dishes. Good selection of wines to pair with your entrees and mains. Staff is attentive. Well done Chef!!!

This restaurant exceeded all our expectations. All of the food was amazing! We started with the Fosforera, then had the Chilean Bass and the Rainbow Trout for our entrees with a side of Yuca Sticks. Then for dessert we had the Mango Sorbet and the Cocotero. Everything was super flavourful and presented beautifully! On top of the food the service was impeccable. Our server Madison was very kind, patient and knowledgeable. She made sure we had the best experience possible!

One of our favourite restaurants, the food is innovative, South American themes infused with European touches. Always with great service!

Excellent hidden gem in St. Paul! Food was incredible, the shrimp ceviche especially blew our minds, and I think the real star is the cocktail list. Really interesting, unique (to MN, at least) drinks that in themselves warrant a trip to this place. I had a take on an old fashioned with Venezuelan rum and banana liqueur that will be haunting my dreams. Highly recommend!!!
