First time having Venezuelan food in Montreal! The Arepas were all so good & the portions were generous too. The Venezuelan sugar cane limeade & rice drink were the star of the show! So much flavour & such a unique taste. The cassava wedges were also so tasty & the dipping sauce was the perfect combination. The vibes of the restaurant is also so cozy & homey. The service was very good & the waitress was very knowledgeable & was a great help explaining everything. Definitely worth a visit next time I'm in the city again!
Food is delicious, I love all the arepas (Reina pepiada is my favourite) the drinks are super good & the ambience is amazing! Ximena's service was exceptional, she is super friendly! ❤?
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 $14 como uno alcoholico.
La banda de música fue lo mejor de la noche .
Y es preferiblemente ir a tomar un trago y oír la música que cenar .
Como venezolana que a viajado y comido en mucho restaurantes venezolanos en diferentes países , no creo que este restaurante es la mejor representación de el plato venezolano .
Como su nombre lo indica son bocadillos. Especialmente el plato principal como el pabellón .
Este establecimiento es más para la clientela canadience que la venezolana en término de los platos venezolanos .
Soooo much fun. Went on a Thursday night, got drinks 2 for 1 & turned into a night of singing our hearts out at karaoke. TOO FUN.
Food was absolutely incredible like always
We'll be back another 1000 times
Je donnes 3 étoiles pour l'ambiance. La nourriture est juste correct mais les prix sont trop élevé. Presque 30$ une assiette avec une arepa & un petit accompagnement, c'est un peu exagéré. Le burger de ma copine était aussi cher & la viande était vraiment dur. Le plat d'entrée Mix, très décevant, presque 20$ pour avoir un Tequeno au Fromage, une petite empanadas, un bunelo qui n'a rien dedans & un petite arepa sans rien & 3 petite sauce d'accompagnement, c'est ordinaire pour le prix. Les drinks c'est Ok mais pas wow. Le service était un peu mal organisé, on était environ 20 personnes & on avait 3-4 serveuses qui venait prendre nos commandes mais on dirait qu'il y avait pas de communication entre elles car à la fin, il y a eu des erreurs sur nos factures. Une chance que le resto n'était pas plein à craquer.
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!
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.
Excellent restaurant cusine Venezuelienne La nourriture est incroyable nous avons eu la chance de goûter un peu de tout sur le menu & tout y est excellent. Que ce soit le Ceviche De Camarone Empanadas de Requins Tequenos De Queso ou La Parrilla Mixta Tout était succulent. Le prix pour certain éléments selon moi est élevé exemple 4 Tequenos pour 18$ ce qui reviens a 4.50$/ chaque je trouve un peu dispendieux mais le goût en vaut le prix. Ambiance excellente spectacle live du Jeudi au Samedi & vous aurez la possibilité d'aller pratiquer votre Danse Salsa sur la piste de danse. Beau choix de variété d'alcool par contre il vous sera plus rentable si vous pensez consommer plusieurs "drinks" de prendre une bouteille 26 oz. La moyenne des drinks sont de 16$ a 18$ donc vous comprendrez que si vous êtes plusieurs la bouteille va etre votre meilleure option. Nous avons optez pour la Havana Club 3 ans à 130$ pour 26oz & c'était parfait. Propriétaire très sympathique qui est venu nous rencontrer à la fin de la soirée pour avoir des come back & se présenter. Vraiment une excellente soirée au Bocadillo sur Saint-Laurent à Montréal
Looking for a place to eat after attending a book launch, my partner & I decided to try this place since we were getting cold walking outside & I had never had Venezuelan food. We ordered 2 arepas & 2 drinks. My drink was a passionfruit juice which tasted like Oasis juice (7$). The staff was friendly & I had the opportunity to practice my Spanish. There was live music provided by a singer & a guitarist. We both quite enjoyed the experience. When the bill came, I was distracted possibly because I was trying to converse in Spanish so I solely focused on the subtotal to calculate the total. I paid 108$ (which includes tax & tip). We left & while I was walking towards the metro station, it occurred to me that the total seemed off since the price for an arepas was around 25$ & a drink around 7$. I returned to the restaurant & saw the waitress & asked if I could see the bill (I had not asked for it after I paid). She asked if there was something wrong or what did I want to see. I responded that I think a mistake was made since I paid 108$ our order could not add up to that total. She said that it is because there is a cover charge of 10$ person (for the live music) & on nights when there is dancing (salsa I believe) the charge is 25$. The cover charge was never mentioned when we initially entered the restaurant or at any other moment during our meal. I find this rather dishonest & it soured my whole experience of the night which is why I am leaving an unfavorable review.
