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.

Muy rico todo recomiendo el platillo de carne de res y la arepa de cerdo con queso derretido. La salsas son muy ricas la verde no pica y la roja pica rico. Excelente música latina vuelvo a regresar por otro platillo diferente y otra arepa ���

I'm going to be harsh but I think for good reasons. I got the pulled beef empenada & the beef wasn't properly pulled; big chunks of beef that needed to be bit down to make smaller chuncks, not a good moment.
The place is fairly well decorated & the vibes are good which let's you imagine you will get food is on that same level. I was disappointed when I saw our plates come. I thought it was more fast-food type of food. Fairly pricy too considering all the factors mentioned.

Our favourite gluten-free restaurant in Montreal! We love their menu, our kids love their arepa, & we love the atmosphere. The service is second to none, the prices are VERY reasonable, & there are a TON of great options. I love that I have a variety of GF beers to choose from (how many restaurants regularly have more than one gluten free beer available) & we learned on our latest visit that we could order a litre (like, a nice carafe) of delicious soursop juice! SO GOOD. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. 🤤

As always it was delicious! Courteous service! Employees there are always in a good mood smiling & laughing…it definitely has good vibes! In the summer you can take it to go & eat outside there’s a nice city installation with picnic tables, bike racks etc. If you have a gluten intolerance or allergy the Arepas are Gluten Free & they also have vegetarian options. My favorite go to is the Yuca entrée, the La LLanera arepa & passion fruit juice. Can’t get enough of that avocado sauce! Put it everywhere it’s addictive & delicious! Enjoy!
