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!!
