Situated on the Lee shore of the Bay of Guaraguao, Sunset provides a wrap-around view of Guaraguao Bay and, as one would naturally expect, a ringside seat for the sun’s daily descent into the sea. Plastic chair and wooden tables, there’s nothing pretentious here, just a comfortable place to meet friends or strangers, eat, drink, trade tales or make a few up, all for almost no money.

The owners and most of the staff speak English (and, of course, Spanish) with a bit of French thrown in for those who need it. Of course we know our way around in Margarita and we’re more than happy to help you find what you need or want. Our place is also “kid friendly” so bring the whole family. There’s something on the menu for everybody even if it’s just a plate of home-cut fries with ketchup.

Despite its name, Sunset does not close down at dark and service continues until you go home although we try to get the kitchen closed by 11 pm. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights there’s live music ranging from jazz to rock to salsa and tango as interpreted by some of the island’s best musicians. Saturday night is “open mike night” with Natalia and her guitar carrying the ball while the others gather their courage. We’re always pleasantly surprised, and we’re sometimes left incredulous by the quality of talent that turns up for a chance at the microphone. Our music nights are well appreciated by our Venezuelan friends and tables (14, 4-seaters and two 12–place picnic tables) are scarce by 9 pm.

What more is there to say? We’re informally friendly, a boarding house dinner table where manners prevail but ceremony is eschewed. Our staff is young, students mostly, eager but courteous and the owners are well traveled and world-wide-wise. We know what we wanted and we presume you want it too. Welcome to Sunset.
