La nourriture était excellente, je n'ai rien à dire sur ça. Par contre, grosse déception au niveau du service. Nous étions un groupe de dix avec réservation confirmée plusieurs fois, & jamais on ne nous a informés qu'il serait impossible de séparer les factures. On a donc passé près de 40 minutes perdues à discuter avec le serveur & le propriétaire, qui ont été très peu conciliants & impatients. Au Québec, c'est courant de pouvoir diviser les factures, & quand ce n'est pas possible, on s'attend à être avertis. Dommage, car c'est un des rares restaurants 100 % sans gluten à Montréal.

Cette mauvaise expérience me fait sérieusement hésiter à revenir, malgré la qualité de la nourriture.

What can I say, the place itself is beautiful with a large spacious area for seating, big windows with views to the street. The food is made in a timely manner & it tastes excellent, from the arepas to the empanadas y certainly is worth it.

Sin duda el mejor restaurante de comida venezolana en Montreal! Their meals really warm up my heart & can't wait to be in the city to visit this place again. The staff was lovely & I also found that the restaurant's new look is very refreshing & appealing.

Thank you so much for such a great experience!
