I have nothing bad to say about this place. Their food tastes amazing. They always serve generous portions & staffs are always nice. Their avocado sauce is so good

We got the cassava sticks, guasacaca chicken plate, black beans & plantain arepa, & guasacaca arepa. The guasacaca sauce is really delicious & addictive! Really good portion sizes. The fried plantains were amazing! The air conditioning was so cold & perfect!!!
Dean
This place is an absolute delight! The music & musical decor are fun & exciting! The empanadas are delicious & served with both avocado & hot sauces! A delicious & delectable appetizer. I had the pulled pork arepa! It was wonderful with so many different flavors & textures! Everything is gluten free! You will be in heaven if you have celiac disease!

We love Arepas, & it's helpful they're a naturally gluten free dish. This restaurant is perfect because the entire kitchen is 100% gluten free. We enjoyed the empanada trio first, & then we each had an arepa for our entrée. I think our favorite was the one with chicken, beans, & plantains. Both the green & red sauces were delicious. No notes. A great place for a delicious gluten free meal.
Jackie
It was delicious, affordable great service & vibrant atmosphere. The food was fresh & full of flavour, the sauces are especially delicious. Such a treat to eat somewhere 100% gluten free!!! This one is getting added to my list of Montreal fans.
Carmelo
Really good sandwich & sauces. Amazing plantain cheesecake dessert too.
Marina
I couldn't believe their entire menu was gluten free!! I had the arepa with beef, avocado & feta as well as empanadas & they were so tasty & seasoned well. The avocado sauce is also really good. Definately recommend this place for your gluten sensitivities!
Julie
I LOVE this place! Casual atmosphere, fantastic food every time. I love the Llanera & the fried plantains are delicious. Make sure to try both sauces with your meal!
Autumn
One of my favorites in all of Montreal! I always go when I'm visiting. The green sauce they serve with the food liquid gold.
Cody
Cool spot! Order from the table in the app then the food comes out! Beef empanadas were small but soooooo good with the hot avocado sauce it was delicious! My girl got a vegetarian domino arepa & rates it 9/10! Drinks are pretty good too! Ok bye

The best restaurant ever!! I would travel to Montreal only to go here, it's that good! The arepa with black beans, plantains & feta is phenomenal & the avocado sauce is delicious!

pollo guisado was very dry & lack flavor. Piece of advice, adding vegetable pieces & sauce would do wonders. Service was really good. Wouldn't go back. I give it 3 stars because of service.

I didn't think I liked arepas but Arepera made me a believer. The only problem is that I live 3,000 miles away & none of the arepas I've tried since even come close. I wake up at night, months later, thinking of these arepas & the avocado sauce. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Cecilia
Had the pork belly arepa, plantains, & the cane sugar juice with lime. The food was so great. The service was so kind. 100% will be back. I love arepas bc they are gluten free & corn is so yummy, & these do not disappoint esp with the medium spicy sauce. I already ate one piece of pork from this before I took the photo. The plantain cheesecake was really interesting & I would eat it again, esp with some espresso.

This was a SUCCULENT meal. The arepas are simply delicious, the sauce they give you is to die for, & on top of that everything just happens to be fully gluten free. I had a chicken arepa with cheese, plantain & beans (Pabellón de pollo) & it was so good. They have a very large selection of vegetarian & vegan meals as well. The prices are also super fair. Very lively atmosphere, friendly service, will for sure be coming back!
Janetta
The food is delicious! There are several vegetarian options, everything is gluten-free, & their guacasa (sp?) avocado sauce you put on everything is to die for! I was also really impressed with their sangria tonight. Absolutely delicious & we'll always go back!

I prefer Arepera over the other arepa restaurants on the plateau. They have a simple selection of plates & dishes that makes it easy to choose (there's basically one or two kinds of arepa per type of protein). Unlike some of the other places, Arepera always seems to be consistent in the quality of their dishes & sauces, so if you're a creature of habit that is also a plus. It's also a certified Gluten-free establishment, I believe, so they only serve GF dishes, & drinks (like GF beer), & there is no risk of cross contamination for people who are celiac. The only couple of downsides to this place are: 1. The restaurant itself is a bit stark. Despite having bright walls, nice art, & church pews as entryway benches, it's basically just one giant room with cafeteria style tables. There's very little privacy & the sound echoes quite a bit so you can hear other people's conversations quite clearly. It also feels really chilly in the winter, so if you're a fan of cozy this probably isn't the place for you. 2. They don't do delivery anymore (it's been a few years since they stopped, but this review is long overdue), so if you want to order in, you have to go to the restaurant & get takeout. I still think it's worth it if you're craving arepas. 😁

Arepera has been a staple for me for a while now, so it's about time I finally wrote a review. Their avocado sauce is so good I'd give up my first born child to know the recipe. You can't go wrong with any of the arepas, but my favorite might be pabellon (with beans & plantains). This is a must try location!!! Also great for gluten free folks as arepas are made with corn.
