Food, drink, service & restaurant were excellent in every way! They served my family of 11 for a late lunch & we enjoyed it all. Highly recommend you try the empanadas!
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.

Excellent food.
I was hesitant about going to a gluten free restaurant but my sister is celiac. & I am so glad we did!
Everything was great!
I highly recommend the Empanadas.
We also had the pork belly platter & the pork & avocado sandwich. Fed the 3 of nicely (though if another empanada was there I would have gladly taken it down.)
I had a guarapita & my sister had the non alcoholic cane sugar & lime, both were lovely. My nephew had water & they kept on top of filling up the water.
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!
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.
Great service & a nice place to grab dinner. Everything is gluten free. Food was a bit on the bland side & the salad on the side was quite a sad portion. The banana pudding was delicious & would highly recommend as a nice warm dessert!
Ordered Arepera 3x for takeout during my 4 day stay in Montreal. Absolutely amazing to find a fully gluten free restaurant that is delicious & priced reasonably. Would be a frequent customer if I lived closer, highly recommend to anyone!!!
