About

Bocadillo specializes in authentic Venezuelan cuisine defined by signature arepas and cachapas prepared with traditional corn dough. These griddle-cooked staples serve as the primary vessel for diverse fillings ranging from slow-cooked shredded beef to salty white cheeses and savory black beans. The menu emphasizes structural simplicity and bold tropical flavors inherent to Latin American culinary traditions. Patrons encounter a casual environment where the focus remains strictly on the technical preparation of grilled sandwiches and plantain-based sides. Each plate prioritizes the interplay between crisp textures and rich, savory ingredients characteristic of coastal Venezuelan street food. The establishment maintains a streamlined approach to service, ensuring that every order highlights high-quality proteins paired with fresh avocado or spicy garlic sauces. This culinary destination preserves the essence of genuine South American comfort food through focused preparation.

Review Summary

Bocadillo is widely celebrated for its authentic and delicious Venezuelan cuisine, with many diners highlighting the exceptional quality of the arepas, empanadas, and tequeños. The restaurant is frequently praised for its friendly, attentive service, welcoming atmosphere, and pleasant patio space. While the food consistently earns high marks for its fresh flavors and gluten-free options, some guests note that portions can feel small for the price, and wait times can occasionally be long during peak periods. Despite these minor criticisms, the restaurant remains a favorite destination for both locals and visitors seeking a warm, culturally rich dining experience in Montreal.

These are not Venezuelan arepas. They use frozen Colombian arepas you can buy at any supermarket & simply grill them. The chicken was drowning in mayonnaise, & the avocado was rotten. We were very hungry & still couldn't finish our food. Terrible experience. I do not recommend this place at all.

(2025) Still amazing food, slight update that I was told that Yuca fries has a small risk of cross contamination with gluten. The rest of what we ate was gluten free.

(2024) Had the Arepa with the Yuca fries (all gluten free). An unexpecting awesome combination.

It's soooo good. I recommend the'pabellón de lux'.
Only thing, the arepas take a bit to make but they're delicious.

Golden, best, most authentic Venezuelan empanadas on mtl island. Arepas are great too. A bit pricey but it's worth it.

Amazing place, great restaurant to test your Spanish. I really like the pabellón arepa here, it's the best.

Although the original spot is being renovated currently, it should be open soon, I ended up going to a temporary location down the street.

I really like the quality of the food & the chill atmosphere & will definitely stop by again.

The food & service was excellent, the arepas were big enough with a lot of meat
