This is a great spot to grab a quick lunch if you can!

The price for an arepa is quite reasonable for the quality. I got the pork & avocado salsa arepa. It was loaded with the meat & avocado, almost spilling out bc of how much there was & it was absolutely delicious.

The staff are friendly & approachable but they will do the bare minimum so if you like to be left alone once the food is dropped off then this is the place. Thankfully they do give you a bottle of water so you're able to refill yourself.

Had a fantastic meal at Arepera! Can't go wrong with the Pabellon Arepas, sauces that came with the meal elevated everything & service was efficient. Will definitely be coming back anytime I'm in Montreal.

Commandé par ma blonde. Mon premier review, mais j'en ai mangé plusieurs fois. & à chaque fois, c'est un pur plaisir gustatif. Original, savoureux, sans fla-fla. C'est juste bon. Cette fois, on a pris des arepas boeuf effiloché & tomates (carne mechada). Délicieux.

Essayez!

Casual place for brunch. Our server was very friendly. Tried the mixed veggie empanadas as well as the chicken with avocado arepa. The arepa was very tasty & filling. Can with a small side salad. The empanada fillings were flavorful.
