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 a solid 11/10. Absolutely delicious in every way possible. Atmosphere is super chill & cozy & service was great. Prices are very affordable especially for such high quality food. Amazing place for the flavors of Venezuela!

Bonne viande. Casse croute vénézuélien. La terrasse. Arrière pourrait avoir un peu plus d'amour, mais il y en a une ce qui est déjà supe

I used to go to this place quite often for years (since it opened back in 2007-2008?) when I worked around the area prior covid. I loved the food here. The owner &/or his sons used to be leading their staff back then. Recently, I went back twice & what a disappointment! The service was awful both times. There were always 3 guys behind the counter, two of them have terrible attitude & it seems they really hate their jobs, the one with glasses & black hair is nice. Besides the attitude, the service was really slow, I'm not sure if they have a lot of online orders pending but the last time I was there, all tables were empty & it still took over 25 min to get my order. However, I didn't see any uber driver going in while I waited. The interior of the restaurant is dark & it gets very warm. During summer, you need to sit in the patio or just take-out. Food is still ok, although portions are smaller than prior covid. A few items from the menu seem to always be missing. In the past, they had more beverage & dessert options. Parking in the area is not easy but that's expected considering it's Boul Saint Laurent.

Delicious Arepas! We got the Pabellon Deluxe & Pepito Cheese steak & it was very satisfying. On the expensive side for sandwiches but it's very filling! We also got a drink but we're not sure if we got the Parchita or Papelon. It was super refreshing regardless & so I would recommend trying their drink as well!

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

Yummy rich arepas. Felt more like fast food place inside. Limited menu (maybe it's normal but it was mostly arepas with 6-7 filings in different combinations).

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.
