Arepera est largement saluée pour son menu entièrement sans gluten et ses portions généreuses, avec de nombreux avis qui vantent des arepas, empanadas et accompagnements à la banane plantain riches en saveurs et adaptés aux régimes végétariens, véganes et à ceux souffrant d'allergies. Les sauces, notamment les verdes et les rouges, sont souvent mises en avant pour leur goût et leur capacité à rehausser les plats, et l'ambiance est décrite comme chaleureuse, accueillante et conviviale. Plusieurs convives soulignent un service fiable et un personnel attentif qui s'adapte aux besoins sans gluten et sans lactose, bien que quelques visites mentionnent des attentes plus longues ou quelques soucis de service qui ont été résolus rapidement. Dans l'ensemble, la réputation est celle d'un choix fiable et abordable pour des saveurs vénézuéliennes audacieuses et des options sûres pour les personnes intolérantes au gluten ou au lactose.
We love these arepas, with a huge variety between meat, fish & vegan (the black beans, plantain & avocado is my favorite!). Naturally gluten-free (made with corn), this is a perfect meal out if you cannot eat gluten. Enjoy!
C'est plus une cantine qu'un restaurant. Ce n'est pas un endroit romantique ou chaleureux. En fait, il y faisait même assez froid quand j'y suis allé.
Certain serveurs ne parlent pas bien français, donc difficile d'avoir leurs avis sur le menu ou de se faire comprendre quand on commande.
Édit: j'ai été très gentille & compréhensive avec les jeunes serveurs. & justement, pour ne pas les embarrasser, j'ai pris n'importe quoi car j'étais mal renseignée.
La nourriture n'est pas goûteuse.
Leurs empanadas sont petites (contrairement aux empanadas argentines) & je n'ai aimé que celles au boeufs. Donc 1 seule empanada sur 3.
Les prix sur le menu publié sur Google, sont inférieurs aux vrais prix.
Sur place c'est approximativement 1.5$/2$ plus cher.
Donc, ça reste abordable mais pas très bon.
Le sandwich Arepa, j'ai trouvé ça fade, lourd & froid.
Dans le mien, ils ont mixé du poulet (bouilli je crois. En tout cas pas rôti, ni frit, ni assaisonné) avec des avocats très froids (?!!) sans plus. Il n y avait donc pas assez de produits frais ou goûteux, pour que ça soit délicieux. Ça n'avait aucun goûts. & c'était plutôt pâteux.
Bref, pas bon.
Le tout pour un 33$ - je n'ai commandé ni de dessert, ni de boisson.
Comment ils ont obtenu des notes aussi élevée ? Mystère.
Je n'y retournerai pas. & je ne le recommande pas.

Delicious gluten-free arepas! The flavors & textures are spot on. My favorite is the black bean, plantain, & avocado; teenager likes all the chicken ones. The green sauce is so good & the red one adds a nice fiery kick. Be sure to try the coconut flan!
Thankful to find a place that offers both gluten free & dairy free options, & that is delicious!
I had such a great evening at Arepera! Everything we had was absolutely delicious. We shared the plantains with feta as a starter, & I had an arepa (queso aguacate) for my meal - it was amazing. The flavors were incredible & everything tasted very fresh.
A huge bonus: the entire menu is gluten-free, which makes the experience so enjoyable when you have to eat gluten-free. Being able to order anything on the menu without worrying is really appreciated.
Warm atmosphere & very friendly service. A wonderful discovery in Montreal - I'll definitely be back!
Food is awesome, service is fast, & prices are amazing. I always get an arepa when I come. I love that everything is gluten-free (as a gluten intolerant person) & that theyvhave options for omnivores, veggies & vegans. Therevare 4 vegan arepas. The plantains & yuka fries are also vegan. They have 1 vegan empenada & 1 vegan dessert (flan). Everything tastes good. It's not high end refined food, it's street food done right. Super filling & good value.
They have a kid's menu...yay! My daughter (3 yo) ate the whole lot, she loved it.
Atmosphere is alright, place is big & can accommodate many groups.
Staff is friendly, but to the point.
I would 100% recommend!
The best lunch we've had on the entire trip to Montreal. The chicharron arepa is the apex of pork sandwiches. We had a gluten sensitive diner, & she had no issues at all. There were also some great drink options (including gluten free beer too). Wait staff were wonderful. Highly recommend.
Love coming back to this place. Their arepas are de-li-ciO-sas. The juices are fresh. Their arepas & empanada options are varied, they easily accomodate personal preferences. Staff is attentive.
Hipster latino food featuring mainly arepa sandwiches. Bigger, & definitely more trendy that I expected with their awesome artsy portrait paintings.
My rating is very likely due to my mistake of ordering a black bean soup (filling me up with bloated heaviness, wasn't anything special) before my main meal could be enjoyed. I managed to consume of the argula salad (bitter) & maybe 2 bites of my arepa before calling it quits.
My other friends had a much better experience... ordering a variety from fancy cheeses to pulled pork to chicken, everyone loved their selections.
Also staff was very cool about doing separate checks to make it easier for us.
Anyways moral of story is don't eat a giant can of black beans before your entree if you want to have a good time.
Want to discover Venezuelan cuisine? This is your restaurant. Super friendly restaurant with open kitchen concept. Lots of space to gather & chill with great Arepas & traditional platters.
Strongly recommend a detou
I've never had arepas before so i have nothing to compare it to. But i found it very delicious! They are very generous with the stuffing!
The cocktails are also reallyyyyy good!
Plantanos con queso were excellent. Great pairing of the salty cheese with the sweet plantains. The empanadas were also delicious. We chose the pork & it was very nicely flavored. The arepas were delicious, very good portion. Margaritas were also quite tasty. We would definitely visit again. So nice to have a totally gluten free restaurant.
It was very nice for my wife to find a totally gluten free restaurant. Had to park a few blocks away but it was will worth it for the friendly service & tasty arepas. Several vegan options as well.
