This is a very nice place to enjoy authentic Venezuelan food. The staff is very nice too, and the owner is always there ensuring a good service. I recommend it.
Love everything about this place! The food is delicious, the owner is friendly and genuine, the staff is friendly. The new location is spacious and colourful and the quirky music icons art looks great on the walls.
So happy for their upgrade and it's closer to home for me.
I did enjoy their home baked corn bread. I tried the guacacasa arepera. It was loaded with avocado. I wish they could add more flavour like may be including plantain or chipotle beans for extra kick. It gets a bit boring if you are just eating avo in bread all the way. Manager and staff were quite friendly.
A quick google search of restaurants near our Montreal rental lead us to Arepera du plateau. We have a few dietary needs and many adventurous palates so we gave it a go. We were not disappointed! All five of us were more than satisfied with the quality and quantity of food we were served. Everything was delicious!! Great food, excellent service, comfortable atmosphere, all around a win for us.
This little restaurant honestly surprised me in terms of their food. Not very noticable at first but it is there just look around. I ordered from the vegan section since I didn't feel like meat or cheese. The serving was impressive and my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Highly recommend the juices!!!!
A nice little restaurant with Latino background music. First time tried Venezuela food. I can tell that their food is quite good as it was fresh & delicious. Their home made avocado sauce is a plus! Guanabana juice is recommended too :)

I went to Arepera twice within the last week - once for a dinner with a friend and today for family brunch. Both times were fabulous. The arepas are delicious, fresh food. I was lucky and had life Venzueliam music both times. Love the brunch. Definitely a new "go-to" place for us
Everything about this restaurant was amazing from the food to the entertainment! The owner is so kind! The avocado sauce was so good I need the recipe. I've never had cassava chips as good as what this restaurant has to offer.
The tortilla part of the arepa was delicious, but without the true Venezuelan cheese I can't give it 5 stars since I've had many in Florida. We got 3 arepas: chicken, pernil, and beef. It was enough for 2.5 people. It was a busy place at night so we got it to go and it took about 20 minutes. There's a parking in the surrounding neighborhood but I don't know what the parking policy is on a weekday or afternoon. A different type of food (Gluten-free too) in Montreal, definitely recommended.
I have about 4 groups of friends at the gym. Hey, what can I say? Peeps are attracted to my muscles, like, 'oh, she'll show me the way, she must be awesome!'. Or something. Haha. All jokes aside, I love my gym friends. And I gots to say, some have become my, wait for it, real life friends. Fo realz yo. Anyhoot, my girl (yes, you are MINE) Mar wanted me to review her fave Venezuelan restaurant. I warned her about my reviews that can go both ways and she still wanted me to go to Arepera. So I dsid. Along with her (wait, also MINE) home girls Al and Ash. Oh and Mar is from Venezuela so this was gonna be eeeeepic. I may be exaggerating. Epic is a big small word. It was gonna be dsamn awesome.

D&G wanted to have a meal during a football game. To make it healthy, G thought of this place.
According to G, the sandwiches taste good and filling. The sauces lift up the taste with lime and hot spices. For D, the pork is excellent but the shark tastes like caned tuna... D has a huge bias on caned fish... D immediately took the pork sandwich instead... Then, we had the chicken and beef with cheddar. Both of them tastes good.
As per the juice, they are very refreshing but sweeter than we thought.

Their entire restaurant is dedicated gluten free, the food is all INCREDIBLE and we left with more to eat lager because it was just soo tasty. The staff were incredible and had a way for non-french speakers to order online with great ease! Our meals were perfect portions and delicious
We are from Ottawa and it’s so hard to find good Venezuelan food there. Every time we tried a place we always left disappointed. This place blew our minds because everything we order was made with good quality ingredients, was fresh and most importantly tasted amazing. We got the Pabellon De Carne Mechada arepas, plantains and chicken, beef and cheese empanadas. We recommend trying the arepa and the cheese empanadas, they were our favourite.
Very nice spot :)
The food tasted delicious!
The 6 pieces of yuca were fresh and crunchy.
The empanadas were the star I think. They're a bit small, but perfect for appetizers (comes in 3). We had chicken, beef and cheese. All delicious.
Even the plantain (about 6 slices) were good :)
The other recommendation I have is the arepas (venezuelan sandwiches). It's about 6inches in diameter. A tortilla filled with goodness. If you take the pabellon, it's pretty filling (meat + black beans + plantain + fera cheese).
They serve spicy salsa and avocado sauce with your meal.
The plantain cheesecake was quite good too, but very small, although it's not really a cheesecake; more like a plantain pudding with a nice cream cheese frosting.
Everything is quite affordable for the quantity.
Beef empanadas were very flavourful and were my favourite compared to the fish and chicken.
The fried plantains also were a great addition to the meal, as they are sweet and balanced out the rest of the salty foods.
Also, their green avocado sauce is awesome - definitely try it out! It isn’t very salty, and is slightly acidic. I ended up putting it on nearly everything to give a bit more brightness to the dishes.
The arepas was good, but i needed to add a lot of the avocado sauce while eating it to give it more taste.
I love that this resto decided to make the menu 100% gluten free including beers and desserts! It's super acessible to vegetarian and vegan diets as well and their fried plantain is possibly the best I've had in Montreal. I also recommend the manioc fries (though they could use a dip!)
Amazing Venezuelan Food.
On a 2 day trip to MTL, we went here first day because of the rating and second day because it was totally worth it.
Their plantain, beans and chicken arepa along with the two sauces (my favorite was the green one), were delicious. Tried mango juice as well, which was ok.
Staff was kind and helpful.
Awesome arepas for a good price. The fruit juices are amazing, plantain fries were also delish. Make sure to ask for the sauces for your arepas!
The food is pretty good, i have to confess that the juice were to sweet but the arepa was amazing so just give them a try!
