Bocadillo Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Montreal: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
VenezuelanLatin AmericanSandwichesBrunch

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.

Food is straight up amazing, Love it, If you spice tolerances allows it, Ask for the spicy red sauce, It's very spicy but has some of the best flavors!

I really love Bocadillo, I've been loving it since before they changed locations. The sandwiches are super good & filling & feel very authentic, the sauces are also good, meat is very well cooked in my opinion, the plantains are to die for, I think everyone should try & Arepa from Bocadillo.

If there is one thing i would like to say tho is that it is very expensive, yesterday i got just the sandwich, it was 18 dollars before tax & tip & with tax & tip about 23-24. if you want a combo its about 25 WITHOUT tax & tip.

Don't get me wrong the sandwich is very delicious & is quite filling, but I think the price is too much for what we are getting. The thing is i think i would come back here way more often if it was less expensive. For students, this is unaffordable, for others, it is just overpriced.

Tried the Arepa Pabellon, the platain sadly was not sweet & the avocado has a mushy texture. Unfortunately we didn't enjoy it as expected. Yuca was absolutely delicious & the green sauce super good!

We tried the pabellon deluxe & fried plantains. The plantains were enjoyable & perfectly ripe + sweet. The arepa itself, however, was lacking a little. The meat was well marinated but no sauce to bring other flavors. I also knock a star because it was quite pricey. The green sauce they gave on the side was mayo based & less flavorful than I've had before, plus there was no hot sauce. However there was a great atmosphere! We sat in the backyard terrasse which had lots of plants & cute tables. Fun music too! @thehungry.sheep

Best Arepas & friendly service!! The plantains were good but not our favourite, however the yuca & the Pabellón arepa were delicious. Portions were also very generous. Don't forget to ask for more of the green sauce;)
