Our first time trying Venezuelan food & this place was amazing! The cheese empanadas were so delicious, & the Reina Pepiada was excellent. Everything was fresh & full of flavor; highly recommend!
The food was delicious & everything came at a great temperature with generous portions. I highly recommend the empanadas, you can order them mixed, which is perfect for trying different flavors. The cheese one was amazing, & the pork empanada was just as good. I also had the Llanera arepa & really enjoyed it. For dessert, the coconut flan was tasty as well.
They also have soursop water, sugarcane juice, & other fresh juices, which was a nice touch. I only wish they had offered a straw, but that's a very minor detail. Prices are affordable & the staff was friendly. Sometimes it felt a little hard to get someone's attention for dessert or the bill, but honestly it also gave us time to relax & enjoy our conversation. Overall, a very good experience & I'd definitely come back.
I had such a great experience at Arepera & will definitely be coming back. As someone with celiac disease, it can be stressful finding places that are truly safe to eat at, but their 100% gluten-free menu made this such a relaxing & enjoyable visit. It's honestly rare to be able to order freely without second-guessing anything, & I really appreciated that.
The menu has a great variety of options, especially when it comes to arepas & empanadas. There were so many different flavor combinations to choose from, & everything sounded amazing. I also loved that they offer fresh juices, which added a really nice touch to the meal.
Everything we ordered came out quickly & at the perfect temperature. You could tell right away that the food was made fresh. I had the beef & cheddar cheese arepa, the cheese empanadas, a guava juice, & the coconut flan for dessert. Every single item was delicious, affordable, well-seasoned, fresh, & cooked perfectly. The arepa was especially satisfying & filling, & the flan was a great way to end the meal.
The service was also excellent. Our server was very polite, kind, & attentive, & gave some really helpful recommendations when we were deciding what to order. It made the whole experience feel even more welcoming.
Overall, this is a fantastic spot whether you're gluten-free or not. Highly recommend checking it out!

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!
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.
Listen-I've been burned before by Latino pork & beef that turned out stringy & dry. But here? Their Pabellón & Suerna were so juicy & packed with flavor. The toppings were fresh & top-notch, & they even give you both a tangy avocado sauce & a spicy sauce-absolute perfection.
The arepas themselves? Perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside, soft inside, & the ideal vessel for a generous, delicious filling. Definitely coming back next time I'm in the area.
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.
