The Arepera was a gem tucked into a corner spot in Plateau Mont-Royal and was a resounding success! After living in a proverbial desert of Latin food in RI, our trip to Montreal offered the sabor we had been missing for so long.
The wait was about 20 min on a Sunday afternoon, not too bad since the weather was comfortable. The wait list is a dry erase board next to the door. It's not easily noticeable and some folks seemed to miss it at first.
Talk about amazing food choices. While I love arepa sandwiches, my wife and I both settled for the Plato de pabellón; her choice was the stewed chicken and mine was the roasted pork. The platters are a phenomenal portion given the price, plenty of food but not overkill. The pork was outstanding and the arepa was, hands down, the best arepa I ever had. Definitely recommend the side of Venezuelan guacamole to go with. And the sauces! One chile-based spicy, one avocado-based mild... Both amazing!! Go there!!
