Arepera is praised for a fully gluten free menu and generous portions, with many reviews highlighting flavorful arepas, empanadas, and plantain sides that are satisfying for vegans, vegetarians, and those with dietary restrictions. The sauces, especially the green and red varieties, are repeatedly singled out as delicious complements, and the atmosphere is described as warm, welcoming, and lively. Several diners note reliable, efficient service and helpful staff who accommodate allergies and gluten free needs, though a few visits mention wait times during peak hours or minor service hiccups that were promptly resolved. Overall, it comes across as a reliable, affordable option for bold Venezuelan flavors and safe choices for celiac and dairy free diners.
This was an amazing place for some glutenfree areperas /sandwiches! Staff was super nice, music was good, open kitchen & most of all, food was super tasty!! Would definitely recommend

Bonne bouffe mais la viande effilochée manquait de condiments (hogao o guiso) à mon goût, par contre l'hôtesse Daniela très sympa & ne manquait pas du tout de piquant
My best friend who is celiac & I love this place so much. Every time we visit we are greeted by the great staff. Today Nora was our waitress & she was really friendly, kind & took her time with us.
La bouffe est incroyable, on commande CHACUN toujours 3 empenadas & le pabellon de pollo, & avec chaque bouchée bien sûr accompagné de la merveilleuse sauce épicée rouge & celle verte.
Ce resto a changé de propriétaires au fils des années, mais la qualité, les prix, & l'expérience est tout aussi enjoyable.
Avec la belle journée, les fenêtres ouvertes, on ce sentait dehors avec les piétons alors qu'on était comfortable à l'intérieur.
Thank youuu & je le sais que la prochaine fois que je reviens je vais adorer!
Great place if you want to try arepas in Montreal. The owner, Adriana was really welcoming. Staff was helpful in giving recommendations. There was also live music (not sure if it happens often, but the atmosphere was very nice!)

Went to Arepera last year, it was very good. Like 8/10
Came here again 2025/6/4, it was way worse. The meat wasn't fresh. The corn bread also became worse. We ordered the cassava fries, only 6 fries were given… that's way too stingy.
The salmon were salty, so I assume they used cured salmon. Just order other fish which will be better than the salmon
Last time we ordered pork & fish & it was very delicious, now we order salmon & beef but it wasn't that good.
The cocktail is a skip. Any combination you made yourself at home will be better & cheaper. You can even buy a whole bottle of wine with that price & get better satisfaction out of it. The cocktail costed $10
ONE OF THE BEST RESTO À MONTRÉAL! Affordable, delicious & fresh, the staff are lovely & multilingual! I mean this is a wonderful place to go with friends. The 6$ MIMOSA CANNOT BE BEAT in this city.

I left Venezuela 25 years ago,& any time I have a chance I try any venezuelan restaurant I come across,I live in Vancouver Island were its very hard to find any Venezeulan food except for 1 place that it's an hour away from me, I gt say your empanadas are the best I've had since I left Venezuela save a casa!
