Review Summary

Reviewers describe Arepera as a gluten free friendly spot with generous portions and good value, where Venezuelan staples like arepas and empanadas are consistently praised. The menu is noted for being fully gluten free or easily adaptable, making it popular with celiac diners and those with dietary restrictions, while still appealing to non gluten free guests who enjoy flavorful, well stuffed sandwiches and plantain sides. Vegans, vegetarians and meat lovers find plenty of options, with standouts including arepas with avocado, pabellon, plantains with cheese, and a variety of empanadas and sauces such as guasacaca and a bright green sauce. The atmosphere is described as casual and friendly, with an open kitchen and welcoming staff, and the space often noted as spacious and bright, sometimes with a lively or convivial vibe. Service is generally praised for attentiveness and multilingual staff, though a few reviews report occasional delays or mixups during busy times. A small number mention issues like a dish with dirt or a misstep in a menu item, but the overall impression emphasizes safe gluten free preparation and consistent quality. In many notes, Arepera is singled out as one of the best places for gluten free Venezuelan food in its city.

Hipster latino food featuring mainly arepa sandwiches. Bigger, & definitely more trendy that I expected with their awesome artsy portrait paintings.

My rating is very likely due to my mistake of ordering a black bean soup (filling me up with bloated heaviness, wasn't anything special) before my main meal could be enjoyed. I managed to consume of the argula salad (bitter) & maybe 2 bites of my arepa before calling it quits.

My other friends had a much better experience... ordering a variety from fancy cheeses to pulled pork to chicken, everyone loved their selections.

Also staff was very cool about doing separate checks to make it easier for us.

Anyways moral of story is don't eat a giant can of black beans before your entree if you want to have a good time.

I have loved this place over the years but it's become too expensive for an Arepa for me. $18 before tip for only the sandwhich.

Lovely place, delicious food, cheap prices, many options, especially for people with dietary restrictions. They seem to have built their menu around people who cannot consume gluten, but it doesn't taste like it at all. I tried this place out to bring my celiac brother. Very satisfied & looking forward to having him feel included when going out to eat. Good for vegans, vegetarians & picky eaters ! There are also many meat options :)

Wonderful find in Montreal. Being gluten free it's always great to find a restaurant where I can eat everything on the menu. If you're not gluten free don't let this be a deterrent to going, you would never know anything was gluten free.

Great food at a good price!
We waited a little bit for our food but a big group arrived just before us so it wasn't too bad.
The food was delicious!

Plantanos con queso were excellent. Great pairing of the salty cheese with the sweet plantains. The empanadas were also delicious. We chose the pork & it was very nicely flavored. The arepas were delicious, very good portion. Margaritas were also quite tasty. We would definitely visit again. So nice to have a totally gluten free restaurant.
