    We went to Arepa & Co and had such an amazing experience, it was our first time trying Venezuelan cuisine, and we loved it so much we went back two days in a row! We started with the Palm Salad, which was fresh and flavorful with grilled palm hearts, cherry tomatoes, shallots, capers, and lettuce. For our main dishes, we tried the Arepa Pabellón, filled with shredded beef, black beans, ripe plantains, and cheddar cheese, and the Pabellón Reina, a rice bowl with chicken, mayo and avocado mix, black beans, fried plantains, and cheese. The flavors in both dishes were incredible, especially the fried plantains, they were absolutely amazing! The restaurant also had tons of gluten-free options, which was perfect for my mum. Overall, it was a wonderful introduction to Venezuelan cuisine, and we can’t recommend it enough.

    I had a wonderful afternoon at Arepa & Co, sharing a special event with my family. We attended a VR experience where we got to see our country, and both before and after the show we enjoyed some fantastic food and drinks. We started with a few cocktails, including a Diplomatico that was the perfect way to begin. The tequeños with sauce and the arepitas con nata were absolutely delicious. We then followed up with cachapas, empanaditas, and a refreshing passion fruit juice — all bursting with authentic, incredible flavors. Every dish was full of taste and felt like a true celebration of Venezuelan cuisine. The restaurant is always lively and busy, so I recommend booking a table in advance. While the service could be a little quicker, the staff are friendly and the food more than makes up for it. Overall, a fantastic experience that I’d highly recommend for anyone wanting to enjoy great food in a vibrant atmosphere.

    The food was great, it was definitely authentic and scrumptious. It wasn’t overpriced and it was definitely worth a try. I highly recommend the guava juice (the best guava juice i’ve ever tried), yuca fries which is sooo delicious i nearly asked for another one, and the texture of their rice is really great i would recommend anything with rice in it with this restaurant!!
