I had visit recently Bocadillo Bistro, I went to enjoy Venezuelan food & a good band music present it that day . I found the food quantity & quality of dishes no as expect it , combine with a high price .
been Venezuelan myself which travel often & dinning myself in the best Venezuelan restaurants all over the world, I was not impressed .
I feel the food is cater most to the Canadian type of clientele than the Venezuelan type of clientele . Small portion for the entre plates, the cachapa i ordered was uncooked & very thin.
The service was average as the waitress only pass by to the table twice in a 4 hours time , after dinner the waitress never came to removed the plates & I had to call her to do that .
The show that was present it that day was the only highlight of the evening as was great.
I was charge for a non alcoholic mojito almost $14 which I found pricy.
Overall experience was no as expect it .
The team should developed a better size Venezuelan food plate for the main plates that match the hight price tag.
Overall I would give a rate of 2-3 because I enjoy the band as was the only highlight of the evening.
If you are going to see a band which is great music , preferably do so for drinks , as the food quality & quantity is not as expect it .
Recientemente visité Bocadillo Bistro ,se estaba presentando una banda y decide ir , mi primera vez en Montreal .
Encontré que la comida venezolana que bocadillo tiene en el menú , specialmente el plato principal y la cantidad que se sirve no representa el costó de cada plato , pequenas porciones en los platos principales como el pabellón.
Pedí una de entrada cachapa estaba un poco cruda y muy delgada .
El servicio no fue el mejor ya que en un lapso de 4 horas solamente pasó la mesera dos veces . Tuve que llamarla a que recogiera los platos después de comer .
Pedí un mojito sin alcohol el cual fue cobrado $14 como uno alcoholico.
La banda de música fue lo mejor de la noche .
Y es preferiblemente ir a tomar un trago y oír la música que cenar .
Como venezolana que a viajado y comido en mucho restaurantes venezolanos en diferentes países , no creo que este restaurante es la mejor representación de el plato venezolano .
Como su nombre lo indica son bocadillos. Especialmente el plato principal como el pabellón .
Este establecimiento es más para la clientela canadience que la venezolana en término de los platos venezolanos .

Le repas était excellent, la musique live avec Chico Band fut un succès comme toujours. Le service était particulièrement lent, mais l'endroit était plein donc ça se pardonne.

Bocadillo Bistro serves delicious Venezuelan food with great service. The atmosphere is cozy & vibrant, with lovely decor & a live band that adds to the experience. The cachapa & arepa were fantastic-flavorful & authentic, definitely worth trying. They also have great drinks to complement the meal. Highly recommend this spot for great food, drinks, & a lively vibe!

The food was good & the live band was nice The thing is that the service is very slow & even if you dine-in you need to pay a cover to enter the restaurant

I had an amazing experience at Bocadillo Restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious, with a varied Venezuelan menu, offering arepas, cachapas, empanadas & more elaborated dishes as pabellón or asado negro. The drinks are top-notch, whether you're in the mood for a refreshing non alcoholic option like papelon or parchita juice, a well-crafted cocktail or just enjoy a nostalgic Polar Beer. What really sets this place apart is the special events they host, I enjoyed the local latin rock band Sociedad Sur. I Highly recommend the band for a great night out too.

Nothing special, very regular I went to see the presentation of a band, the prices are very high for the quality of service. Additional 18% service charge after taxes is exaggerated.
