C'était bon. J'ai pris un sandwhich végé (banane, avocat, fèves noires:) & c'est l'un des meilleurs mojitos que j'ai bu à Montréal.

Allez-y. Quel bonheur pour quelqu'un qui mange sans gluten de ne pas devoir détailler la carte pour savoir ce qu'on peut manger ou pas. Très bon service & cuisine vraiment délicieuse. Service rapide (nous avons mangé à 17h30). Je recommande ++++. Bonne adresse que je garde.

Delicious, crispy & tender arepas. Perfectly fried plantains. Added plus of gluten free empanadas that were highly delicious. Ooh & the cocktails & house-made juices were super yummy. Highly highly recommend for lovers of arepas & anyone avoiding gluten!

Great arepas, empanadas, plantain & cassava chips. Pretty sure it's gotten 50% more expensive since I last went in 2019 though.
