After walking around the market we worked up an appetite and decided to try this place. This was our first time trying Venezuelan food. We got sat pretty quickly as the place was pretty empty. After waiting for about 40 minutes (with no updates)our food finally came out. The food was great, I got the “Llenera” . So the food itself was great, but not worth waiting that long.
Amazing food and terrific service. This is a little jewell in Montreal, food is made fresh and with some exotic ingredients, place was very clean and cozy. The cachapa is definetely worth trying as well as their natural fresh made juices, passion fruit and mango are WOW. What a nice surprise it was this visit; highly recommended.
Amazing food, service and atmosphere. We were wondering around late at night looking for a place to eat and we came across Bocadillo randomly. What a surprise! Marco and his wife, the owners were super nice and welcoming. I’m so happy I stumbled upon this restaurant. Highly recommend it.
Amazing food and fresh ingredients. Newly renovated to expand the seating area and dancing area for the live music. Not the first time I've been here and won't be the last.
It was an amazing experience! Great location in Italian district of Montreal. The atmosphere was dynamic & cozy. The live music by Freddy Band was fantastic. The bartender were so helpful. And the food & drink were great. I highly recommend Sangria!
