Delicious plantanes

The food was good, especially the plantanes - but the portions not super big. The woman who worked there super lovely though and it was cute sitting there!

Tasty food!

Really friendly place to eat! Staff can speak English if you struggle with your French. Food was also really good as well, and worth the money!

Pros: Food, Staff, Atmosphere

Nice place with good food

This small Venezuelan restaurant is run by a very nice lady. The food is hearty and good, and the vegan options are very satisfying. We tried the vegan starters as a platter that came with fantastic sauce, and an arepa. The arepa was perhaps a little dry compared with others I've tried, but the place is very pleasant and well worth a visit.

Pros: good food, friendly owner, nice little place

Would give 5* if possible

We had never tried arepas before so were excited to! We each got a vegan arepa along with the sharing plate for plantain, yucca and sweet potatoes. All the food we had was amazing and it was so great to try new things. Great portion sizes and filling.
The person who I assume owns it is really friendly and as mentioned in other reviews speaks English, Spanish and French if you struggle with your French.
Bonus points for the cutest dog who hangs around in the restaurant and is super friendly.

Can't recommend enough

Can't recommend this place enough! The food was tasty, full of flavour, filling and very reasonably priced! The vegan arepa was so tasty and filling. We also had the vegan sharing starter which was delicious. Lots of vegetarian options too. The service was great and the owner was very friendly and spoke Spanish, French and English. If we were staying in bordeaux for longer, we'd definitely be back multiple times!

That Sauce!

The owner was so welcoming speaking English to compensate for our lack of French. We had a vegan arepa & a rice, beans & vegetable dish. We ordered a side of yuka fries which were perfectly cooked & served with the most delicious green sauce that complimented the fries so well. The arepa was great, something we'd not had before, something like an empanada or pasty. The veg with black beans & rice was great too. A very different satisfying inexpensive meal.

Pros: Delicious vegan options, cosy interior, wonderful owner

Really good !!

The vegan arepa is very good and original! The place deserves 5 stars but the app doesn't allow it because the restaurant only offers vegan "options"... the manager is really nice :)

Good vegan arepa

Charming small arepa restaurant with tasty vegan options. I very much enjoyed the vegan arepa (with vegetables, avocado & plantain banana) as well as the tajadas (plantain banana) and the yuca frita (fried cassava).
