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.
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!

Truly a one of a kind place in Montreal. They have a very unique menu all gluten free. The food is amazing & great portion sizes. I highly recommend to go for lunch.
100% gluten free restaurant with gf beer, ciders, sangria, & the most amazing food I have had in a long time, gf or otherwise. Also literally the best priced restaurant meal I've had in forever gf or otherwise. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back!
La Arepera is a true gem in Montreal. The service is impeccable, with friendly & attentive staff. The Venezuelan food is simply outstanding-authentic flavors & top-notch quality. Every bite feels like a trip to Venezuela. Highly recommended!
Delicious, crispy & tender arepas. Perfectly fried plantains. Added plus of gluten free empanadas that were highly delicious. Ooh & the cocktails & house-made juices were super yummy. Highly highly recommend for lovers of arepas & anyone avoiding gluten!
