    Thank you very much to the very kind lady who cooked my meal🤗🙏☺️ I've tried the traditional drink and a very delicious dish for lunch and I absolutely loved it. The food presentation was great and it gets ready very quickly. It is such a cosy and welcoming place, I would love to get back and try different dishes there😋

    If you have coeliac disease, you will feel right at home here! The owner who makes the food speaks English and is really lovely. She understands gluten free food preparation really well and most of the dishes are gluten free. The food is freshly prepared and delicious!

    Very nice little restaurant with some vegan options. The portions are a little small though. The owner was really sweet and communicative. Bon appetit! :)

    Walked in randomly off the street and it was the best stumble upon restaurant I have been in a very long time. She was a sweet heart and spoke English very well, talked and made the food right in front of us. Highly recommend.

    We found this nice place over the App "Happy Cow" which shows places offering vegan food nearby. It had good reputations and we definitely were not disappointed. The food was delicious and freshly prepared. And there were vegan options, which tasted amazing. Because it was freshly made it took some time, but we had a chat with someone working there, who was also really nice.I would totally recommend eating there!

    “L’Arepas” in Bordeaux is a culinary delight! The warm welcome set the stage for an exceptional experience. The arepas, a highlight, struck the perfect balance—soft yet crunchy, bursting with distinct flavors. The manioc fries and empanadas were equally impressive, crispy and flavorful. A touch of the carefully measured spicy sauce added a delightful kick. In every aspect, from service to taste, “L’Arepas” excels. A solid 5/5 is well-deserved for the impeccable food and welcoming ambiance. A return visit is not just a thought; it’s a certainty.

    This was a surprise finding in Bordeaux, as I was wondering if there was a Latin American restaurant, more specifically, the exotic dish called arepa from Colombia and Venezuela. In the end, I wasn't disappointed because I found it and I'm sure you can find everything you were looking for the last time you went to Colombia in Bordeaux. Even the owner makes you feel welcomed, and at home, this will not be the last time I'll go to this restaurant.

    I adore the place. Highly recommend! Food is awesome and unusual! You can ask for a hot sauce. Slowly trying all arepas one by one.

  • 5/5 Denisse G. 1 year ago on Google
    Divino! The arepa was perfect, the empanada was super crunchy and the papelón was incredible. Honestly this is the best Venezuelan place I’ve eaten in in France, and I’ve eaten in several. De verdad que gracias! Muy muy rico

  • 5/5 Michelle S. 1 year ago on Google
    The best authentic Venezuelan arepas I’ve ever had, a cozy atmosphere, and wonderful service. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Go now!

  • 5/5 Christelle A. 9 months ago on Google
    Best arepas I’ve ever had in Europe, very generous portions and lovely owners! Highly recommended and ideal for gluten intolerant people :)

    The stars speak for themselves. We found ourselves in a fancy hotel for one night, as a treat on our travels around France. After roughly a week surfing between friends spare rooms and budget Airbnbs, we decided to treat ourselves to something fancy. Sadly the hotels menu was just as fancy and we found ourselves looking for quality food elsewhere. My partner and I love arepas, so when we spotted L'Arepa and it's 4.9 stars we had a feeling we had found dinner. We had actually found much more. This modest restaurant is packed full of fantastically well curated and crafted flavors. The yucca frites and platacones are staple items that rarely disappoints, and the sauces they're served with are fantastic - try the excellent hot sauce. The chicken empanada was simply perfect, from its perfect pastry to the perfect and juicy chicken inside. The main attraction was reserved for the Pabellon Arepas. I'm struggling to find words that do this treat the justice it deserves. The layers of flavors and textures build into a fantastic creation that will leave you with a full belly as well as a wanting desire for more. If you find yourself on the area and you happen to be hungry, do yourself a favor and stop in for a fantastic meal! Say hi to Cookie for me!

  • 5/5 Tim K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice Restaurant. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The food is amazing and they have a lot of vegan options. Worth a visit. Fresh, selfmade, delicous food!

  • 5/5 Sarah R. 1 year ago on Google
    The owner was incredibly friendly and provided the most delicious authentic Colombian vegan dish. The arepas were spectacular and the yucca fries with the salsas were super tasty. They also made amazing authentic refreshing drinks that you just wouldn’t get anywhere else in Bordeaux. A very authentic Latino experience, would definitely recommend!
