Les avis convergent sur Arepera comme une adresse authentique et généreuse pour découvrir la cuisine vénézuélienne, particulièrement pour ceux qui cherchent des plats sans gluten et des options végétariennes ou véganes, avec des arepas bien garnies et des empanadas croustillantes et des sauces notables comme la sauce verte et la guasacaca qui reviennent souvent en coup de cœur. Les portions sont souvent généreuses et les prix raisonnables, certains allant jusqu’a recommander l’endroit comme l’un des meilleurs pour les arepas à Montréal; l’ambiance varie entre un espace spacieux et convivial et une cuisine ouverte qui crée une atmosphère détendue. Le personnel est fréquemment décrit comme sympathique, serviable et multilingue, mais des critiques récurrentes évoquent des temps d’attente parfois longs et des difficultés ponctuelles à scinder les additions ou à assurer la constance entre les plats, avec quelques expériences de plats pas à la hauteur ou de problèmes de fraîcheur. Dans l’ensemble, Arepera est perçue comme une option sûre et appréciée pour manger sans gluten, avec une forte identité et un éventail large de choix qui plait autant aux gourmets qu’aux clients souffrant d’allergies ou d’intolerances.
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.

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. ☀?
Fresh & tasty. The meats were juicy & delicious. We tried the pork with black beans, plantain & feta cheese & beef, black beans, plantain, feta. I preferred the pork one. The empanadas were so crispy. Good, friendly service.
It was delicious, affordable great service & vibrant atmosphere. The food was fresh & full of flavour, the sauces are especially delicious. Such a treat to eat somewhere 100% gluten free!!! This one is getting added to my list of Montreal fans.

I was in a food-rut & my boyfriend recommended this place & I am so glad he did because it was delicious! Something new that I've never tasted before. Got the avocado beef arepa & feta cheese arepa & it was so filling & savoury! the mango juice was also great. Fresh flavours, lots of options on the menu, & friendly staff. Prices are cheap, you get a lot of quality ingredients in abundance, & it's fast. There was a lineup of people when we arrived so I put my name & number down & after one walk around the block they were ready for us. It's the perfect food to eat out in the park on a sunny day as well.
Tried Arepera on the recommendation of our daughter...was pleasantly surprised on how good it was!! Even though the atmosphere is a bit noisy the food & service are very good & everything was fresh & hot!! I would really consider returning the next the next time we are in Montreal!!
I get the Domino Platano with Avocado every time. It's a really filling, affordable, & authentic vegetarian option always made fresh with the loveliest consistencies. It tasted divine when drenched in the chili & avocado sauces. Also such a cozy spot with fast & kind service.
With prices soaring these days I paid about $9.8 to take out three empanadas. I think it's more than fair as it's not Kensington Market in Toronto where there's a lot more traffic & competition. The empanadas are fresh & in hindsight I should have gotten all cheese. Super yummy!
