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.
Great place for gluten free arepas - corn based break filled with a variety of products like plantain, guacamole, cheese etc great service & cosy place
Was good, i tried two kind, pabellón & la pelua. I wasn't the biggest fan of the cheddar that comes with the pelua arepa but overall they were good ! …. Lulo juice which is my favorite fruit back home, tasted weird. I didn't like the juice.
La comida, el servicio, el ambiente - todo me parece 5/5. Las arepas están buenísimas y la salsa que te dan es deliciosa. Mi recomendación es el jugo de lulo y una arepa de reina pepiada con chicharrón.

everything was incredibly delicious! so happy to have so many gluten free options. the food came out quickly & the staff was friendly. highly recommend!
This charming restaurant has been a Plateau mainstay since 2011, specializing in arepas, empanadas, & all things Venezuelan. 🇻🇪
The brunch is a delightful addition! The dishes were not only gluten-free but also bursting with authentic flavors.
We started with an order of empanadas; each one was perfectly crafted & filled with delicious ingredients, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite.
We followed that with the Plato Criollo, a giant plate of Perico eggs, fresh avocado, fried plantains, stewed beans, arepas, Andean cheese, & chicharrón (pork belly). All of this was not only delicious but extremely filling. We couldn't finish half of it 😅-the portion was very generous.
A big thank you to the team for their warm hospitality during brunch; it was evident that they take pride in their food & service. ☀?
