J'ai beaucoup aimé cet établissement. L'endroit est bien aménagé, propre & très organisé. Les chaises sont confortables & le service à la clientèle est excellent. La nourriture était délicieuse ! J'ai pris une arepa llanera avec du plantain jeune - un vrai régal. J'ai aussi aimé que soit un établissement familiale👨?👩?👦. Je recommande sans hésiter. ✨?✨?✨?👍🏻
EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE for what it is. 4 small empanadas for $20…ridiculous, $25 for an arepa? Really? This place isnt what it used to be. From a latino, an arepa isnt reeally worth $25, its dough with a filling!. Service was extremely slow, plus the shove a min tip of 18% on top of taxes. Im not coming back. I felt robbed

Beaucoup trop cher, je m'attendais à meilleur côté bouffe, après 1 heure & demi d'attente les plats sont arrivés froids, les portions sont petites, le service lent, on est aller pour le groupe de la soirée exceptionnelle, on va dire qu'ils ont sauver notre soirée, bref la nourriture c'est pas le meilleur les prix trop élevé pour ce qu'on a reçu, on a payé 20 dollars pour écouter la musique & c'était bon.
Restaurant très accueillant, avec des plats vraiment excellents. Le propriétaire, Marco, sait mettre les clients à l'aise avec une gentillesse authentique. Une expérience que je recommande vivement !
We planned a birthday party here on a night where they had live music. What an incredible vibe. The owners are so kind & it shows that they love what they do. They created such a welcoming & warm atmosphere for us. The live band was fantastic & the food was delicious. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!! THANK YOU!!!
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 .
