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 praised for authentic Venezuelan flavors with arepas, pabellón, tequeños and empanadas, in a calm space that often features a pleasant garden or patio. Reviewers highlight the friendly, attentive service and the genuine, vibrant fare that many call fantastic. Some note price and portion disparities, with a few meals leaving them hungry or feeling the value is not always commensurate, while others say the portions are generous and the food is very good. Gluten free options are available and staff are helpful with dietary needs, though one item like yuca fries carries a small cross contamination risk with gluten. The overall impression is that Bocadillo is a standout choice for Venezuelan cuisine in Montreal, sometimes with location changes or renovations, but consistently praised for quality, atmosphere and the rustic charm that brings people back.

(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.

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!

Came here for dinner the other day & had their deluxe arepa combo with yuca fries & maracuya juice. Everything was phenomenal. Arepa was big & the yuca was so tasty! They have a lovely patio out front & plenty of seats inside with a second patio in the back. The service was very friendly & quick. Prices are a bit expensive but good for a treat once in a while.

I have to say that this one of the best Latin restaurants I've tried in a long time, the food was excellent. I tried the Bunelos de Yuca for the first time & there crunchy & soft inside which was delicious, I also tried some of their arepas & they did not disappoint, definitely worth the visit!!

Lunch last week had Pabellon Deluxe with Yuca on the side - fabulous. Large portions so bring your appetite! Eat in or take out.

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;)
