Superbe restaurant, 100% sans gluten. Je le recommande hautement. Les sandwich sont excellent, les assiette encore mieux. Vous pouvez même acheter une bière pour boire sur la rue pendant que vous attendez votre place dans le restaurant.

Totally recommend this place. They used to be on rue Duluth, but they have now moved to rue Prince-Arthur to a much more spacious location. Food is authentic & tasty. You can see that the owner keeps an eye on the service & the food quality, I think that is one of the reasons why they've been so successful. We have now moved to the Laurentides, but we always try to stop at the Arepera whenever we go downtown. If you haven't tried it, you are missing out!

Got a happy server.
Nice open view to the streets because the weather was perfect.
Food was almost good except that we ordered food right before the dinner shift & so within a few minutes of getting served my food was already to room temperature.
Their sweet plantains were perfect & their sauces were good.
Felt authentic Venezuelan.
Would recommend.
