Hello, dear architecture and design friends. I hope your days are going wonderfully. I am immensely happy to share a new experience with you. This time I invite you to join me in a restaurant that has become one of the most popular in Merida in the last year.
We are talking about the grill mountain. A restaurant that promises you a cozy, fun and delicious time, especially if you have a birthday. But, I would add to all that, an incredible architectural feel. This restaurant is located on Los Proceres Avenue, Merida, Venezuela.
My family and I really wanted to visit it, but we waited until our son's birthday to go, so it would be more special. Finally the day arrived, we took a bus to Merida and stayed near the avenue of the Proceres. When you get there you find different restaurants in one place, one of the busiest is this one.
Hola, queridos amigos de arquitectura y diseño. Espero que sus días estén yendo de maravilla. Estoy inmensamente feliz de compartir una nueva experiencia con ustedes. En esta oportunidad los invito a conocer conmigo un restaurante que se ha convertido en uno de los más populares de Mérida en el último año.
Se trata de la montaña grill. Un restaurante que te promete pasar un rato acogedor, divertido y delicioso, en especial si estás de cumpleaños. Pero, yo le agregaría a todo eso, una sensación arquitectónica increíble. Este restaurante está ubicado en la Avenida los Próceres, Mérida, Venezuela.
Mi familia y yo, teníamos muchas ganas de conocerlo, pero esperamos que fuese el cumpleaños de nuestro hijo para ir, así sería más especial. Al fin llegó el día, tomamos un autobús a Mérida y nos quedamos cerca de la avenida de los Próceres. Al llegar encuentras distintos restaurantes en un solo lugar, uno de los más concurridos es este.
When I saw the brightness of its lights through the windows, I realized that I was going to love this place, since I have a penchant for admiring the different designs and elements of the lamps. Besides, a well-lit place is much warmer and cozier, don't you think?
If you don't reserve a table, you have to wait outside for a while, while they assign you one on a first-come, first-served basis. Fortunately, the wait was quite short, and in the meantime I could notice that the ambiance of the place is inspired by the country style, rustic and natural. The waiting benches were made of wood, with a robust and simple design, the walls of brick and, if you looked up, you could see leather decorations.
Al ver el brillo de sus luces, a través de las ventanas, me di cuenta de que este lugar me iba a encantar, ya que tengo una afición por admirar los distintos diseños y elementos de las lámparas. Además, un lugar bien iluminado, es mucho más cálido y acogedor. ¿No les parece?
Si no reservas la mesa, debes esperar un rato afuera, mientras te asignan una por orden de llegada. Afortunadamente, la espera fue bastante corta, y mientras tanto pude notar que el ambiente del lugar está inspirado en el estilo campestre, rústico y natural. Las bancas de espera eran de madera, con un diseño robusto y sencillo, las paredes de ladrillo y, si alzabas la mirada, podías ver decoraciones en cuero.
Upon entering, you can notice how the designer chose to combine simple elements such as metal sheets with wood, creating a pleasant visual harmony. The restaurant is divided into two environments, the main one, where there is a stage for live bands. This area has different wooden tables, classified by number of seats. In this area, in addition to the hanging artificial plants, they have lamps in the shape of inverted baskets, which give it a bohemian look. I have noticed that this type of lamps are being used quite a lot, and I sincerely think they are beautiful and look good, in places like this, or even for the home. (Of this area, I did not take many pictures, because it was full of people and I did not have the opportunity).
Al entrar, puedes notar cómo el diseñador eligió combinar elementos sencillos como las láminas de metal con la madera, creando una armonía visual, bastante agradable. El restaurante está dividido en dos ambientes, el principal, donde está una tarima para agrupaciones en vivo. Esta área tiene distintas mesas de madera, clasificadas por número de asientos. En esta zona, además de las plantas artificiales colgantes, tienen lámparas en formas de cestas invertidas, que le dan un aspecto bohemio. He notado que este tipo de lámparas se está usando bastante, y sinceramente pienso que son hermosas y que quedan bien, en lugares como este, o incluso para el hogar. (De esta zona, no tomé muchas fotos, porque estaba repleto de personas y no tuve oportunidad)
Our table was in the second room, a smaller but more private area. I loved the table we had because not only did we enjoyed the view of the entire restaurant, but also the view outside through the wood framed windows.
Nuestra mesa estaba en el segundo ambiente, una zona más pequeña, pero más privada. Me encantó, la mesa que nos tocó porque no solo disfrutaba de la vista de todo el restaurante, sino también de la vista exterior a través de las ventanas enmarcadas con madera.
The lighting in this area is made up of rustic scraps of wood, from which hang beautiful golden bulbs, surrounded by leaves and flowers that not only give a fresh touch to the place, but also fill it with color.
La iluminación de esta área está constituida por retazos rústicos de madera, desde donde cuelgan hermosos bombillos dorados, rodeados de hojas y flores que no solo le dan ese toque fresco al lugar, sino que también lo llenan de color.
All the furniture is dark-colored wood, with cushioned seats. The design is attractive, but I would have liked the back of the chairs to be straight or a little higher, as over time, I found it a little uncomfortable. But it's just a matter of taste.
Todo el mobiliario es de madera de color oscuro, con asiento acolchado. El diseño es atractivo, pero hubiese gustado que el espaldar de las sillas fuese recto o un poco más alto, ya que al paso del tiempo, me resultó un poco incómodo. Pero es solo cuestión de gustos.
Across from our table, I had my favorite wall. This corner of the restaurant certainly stood out, the color and the fire pit pattern looked great. Plus, it's framed with a wine display. This wall, as far as I could tell, is meant for different personalities visiting the restaurant to leave their signature. I was able to read that of a famous Mexican singer, Pablo Montero, and one of the best singers of Venezuelan music, Luis Silva, among others.
Al frente de nuestra mesa, tenía mi pared favorita. Esta esquina del restaurante sin duda resaltaba, el color y el dibujo de la fogata se veían estupendos. Además, está enmarcada con una exhibición de vinos. Esta pared, por lo que pude darme cuenta, está destinada para que las distintas personalidades que visiten el restaurante dejen su firma. Pude leer la de un famoso cantante de México, Pablo Montero, y uno de los mejores cantantes de Música Venezolana, Luis Silva, entre otros.
On the way out, you find an elegant blue armchair with a very attractive design, full of curves and details that catch the eye. On it we have the map of Venezuela, full of phrases commonly used by Venezuelans and images that identify us as the arepas or the face of Simon Diaz. A special corner to take pictures that will last forever in our minds and, of course, in our beloved blockchain Hive.
Al salir, encuentras un sillón elegante de color azul que tiene un diseño muy atractivo, lleno de curvas y detalles que llaman la atención. Sobre él tenemos el mapa de Venezuela, lleno de frases que comúnmente usamos los venezolanos e imágenes que nos identifican como las arepas o el rostro de Simón Díaz. Un rincón especial para tomarse fotografías que perduren por siempre en nuestra mente y, por supuesto, en nuestra amada blockchain Hive.
The facade is simple, but combines different elements and geometric shapes that make it very beautiful. The main entrance is formed by a gable roof, brick walls and floors in rustic finishes. In the center is the Montaña Grill logo on a wooden background.
La fachada es sencilla, pero combina diferentes elementos y formas geométricas que hacen que sea muy bonita. La entrada principal está formada por un techo a dos aguas, paredes de ladrillos y pisos en acabados rústicos. En el centro el logo de la Montaña Grill en un fondo de madera.
The second part of the facade is rectangular in shape, with panoramic windows, wooden frames and a semi-wall with beige trapezoidal figures combined with brick. On the ridge of the roof there is a circular dome with the logo that gives it height and height, as well as a modern touch to the whole structure.
La segunda parte de la fachada es de forma rectangular, con ventanas panorámicas, marcos de madera y una semi pared con figuras trapezoidales de color beige combinadas con ladrillo. En la cumbrera del techo hay una cúpula circular con el logo que le da realce y altura, además le da un toque moderno a toda la estructura.
Without a doubt, the grill mountain is one of those places to spend with the family and enjoy a different afternoon or evening. In my next post, I will be telling you how I liked the food, don't miss it!
Sin duda, la montaña grill es uno de esos sitios, para pasar en familia y disfrutar de una tarde o noche distinta. En mi próxima publicación, estaré contando cómo me pareció la comida. ¡No te lo pierdas!
Hasta la próxima, un millón de bendiciones a sus familias.
Until next time, a million blessings to your families.

The Mountain Grill Restaurant is certainly an exemplary example of vernacular/tropical architecture. I'm impressed by the rustic ambiance with the incorporation of organic elements like natural plants. Despite its simplicity, it's still a heartwarming hospitality space. ☺️

Hey @doriangel you are welcome.
Thanks for using @worldmappin 😘
Un diseño arquitectónico para ambientar un sitio donde la especialidad es la carne de res y por ende sentirse como en la finca.
Totally. It has many rustic and country details combined with others more delicate and elegant, achieving in my opinion a good result.
I just saw that there was cowhide on the plavon and I was confused about how to describe my feelings @doriangel
I hear you. I think I felt the same way at first. It can be culture shock. I'm sorry.
beautiful restaurant, especially eating with family is very enjoyable, and happy birthday to your son @doriangel
Thank you very much for your good wishes.
Nice post ..
Thank You
This year they did a great job with Angel's birthday, which makes me very happy that they are able to celebrate as they should.
This restaurant has very nice design elements, the map is super original, I loved the elegant and comfortable blue sofa, the wall with the bull and the signatures of artists as well as the wine sample and the ceiling decorated with hanging plants. Definitely a restaurant I would like to visit.
@doriangel 🥰
Yes, an effort by everyone including her aunts and uncles, thank God, I am happy with that. Five years is not an everyday occurrence. This restaurant is very nice, when you come we will go. Of course we will. Just let me know in advance to save money. Thanks, my friend.
As amazing as it is, with that great design, so should be their dishes, it was definitely a good experience. Cheers!
Yes, exactly, it is worth it. I hope they don't change. Thank you very much for your appreciation.
Hello @doriangel, the wait for a table at this restaurant is worth it, the interior design is beautiful and cozy, my favorite part is the spectacular view of the mountain and the blue armchair, it is striking and looks old.
Greetings!
Absolutely, it is worth it, I read in their social networks, that they will inaugurate another one so that this does not happen anymore. Thank you very much.
