La Arepera du Plateau has been a Montreal favourite since 2011, serving authentic Venezuelan arepas and more to a loyal and ever-growing crowd. These golden cornmeal pockets—griddled to perfection and stuffed with fillings like pulled pork, chicken, fish, or vegan options—are a vibrant, gluten-free alternative to the classic sandwich. Two arepas are enough to tackle the hungriest appetite, while one satisfies those looking for a lighter, flavour-packed meal.
The expanded Prince Arthur location, which opened in 2018, comfortably accommodates over 100 diners, creating a lively space to enjoy a menu that also features crispy empanadas, fried plantains, and chicharrón. Pair your meal with a tropical cocktail or gluten-free beer for the full experience. Run by Max De La Concha and his family, the restaurant is rooted in tradition and community, delivering every dish with warmth and authenticity. For a true taste of Venezuela, Arepera is unmatched.
