Everything we ordered was so amazing, we ordered more plus extra sauces and were full and happy for two days!
Beautiful to sit out on the water and the service was lovely too. 
Highly recommend and will always eat here when I visit.

What a dream come true to have arrived in London and found the perfect brunch spot for our family of 3. Even our 8-yr-old will have fond memories of sitting by the canal and eating his first arepa. Friendly staff and beautiful views. And many gluten free options too! I would eat hear weekly if I lived in the UK!

Highly recommend. The kids and I loved this spot. Friendly attentive staff and excellent food. Everyone loved their food. Great location directly on the canal.

Walking along the waterway we saw this joint. Being that some of the closest people to me are Venezuelan I decided to give it a try. Maybe it was a bad day but it was crazy the amount of people were there waiting, might have also been due to the fact it is Mothers Day in the U.K. Or it was nice and sunny out. I opted to have take away instead of dining there. Took 25 mins to place & order for 3 and about 45 minutes for the food to be ready. It was a warm welcome for my group who loves Arepas but it wasn't worth the hour. It was a little expensive but for it's location but, i get it.

Great place to come and hang out with a very Latin atmosphere. The music is great and the service is phonemic.

The arepas of crillo are by far my favorite ones and also if you have a sweet tooth then you must have the tequenos. If you like guava and cheese do not let these pass you up.

As a Venezuelan myself this place has the true taste of our homeland. The food is fresh, well prepared and filling!. We went for brunch Sunday for the first time and it was an interesting experience. Now coming from west London, it's not necessarily the closest location but we decided it was worth trying out. The food and ambiance was great but the service was seriously lacking. The staff was disorganised and all over the place. Even ordering a drink or the bill took some time. 

The place itself is really cozy and colorful, a mix of modernity and Latin vibe. Space wise, they could replace the hanging hammock chairs as they take up too much space and put in more tables. It seemed that it was super busy all day and the wait for a table was about 45 minutes. The food took too long and some drink and food order were messed up or forgotten. I had to have my salad after the meal was done.

Anyways the food was worth all the wait and the disorganisation. The tequeños were nicely fried and served with a sauce. The "desayuno" special was excellent, with good portions of beans, cheese, eggs and plantains. The arepas were a good size too!.
To finish it off I had a cold glass of the sugarcane lemonade 

Some suggestions for the place itself:

- get rid of the iPad as a point of sale system, it's seemed slow and not able to handle many orders

- keep someone at the door to greet, inform and control the flow of traffic

- make the cachapas bigger!, they're tiny and I only got two 

- make the cups for milkshakes, lemonade a bit bigger, don't serve then in whiskey glasses with cocktail straws


The food is what will make me return, the service on a Sunday, not so much!. Best of luck to Arepa and co!

I loved this place right from the start. Latin and South American spices mingling with the scent of coffee and a misty day on the Canals and I was in love.

I ordered the shredded beef brunch plate with plantains, cheese, black beans and scrambled eggs and a flat white to drink. Everything was perfect... and plentiful.  The arepas themselves were both tender and crisp and totally flavorful.

This is definitely a place I'd like to visit again soon...

Really liked this place, which, as far as I can tell, is one of very few places in London which does arepas, which are a Venezuelan dish and are delicious(/delicioso). Pick the window seat and you can watch all the ducks going by. 

I recommend choosing some mains and sharing two or three with a friend as there are lots of good options (including lots of good options for vegetarians) and you will get a nice variety if you mix it up a bit.  We shared a dessert and that worked well too.

Sauce-wise, the mains come with a nice orangey sweet and thick homemade sauce in a squeezy bottle, as well as a little pot of chilli sauce.

For most main course options, you can choose to have either an arepa (sort of corn-fried bread Venezuelan version of a pita pocket, something along those lines), or a cachapa, which is more like a pancake.  Both are good (mix it up and get at least one of each).

There's so much variety here on the menu, I think we'll be back to try some other stuff out.  Good cocktail menu and coffee options too.

My one slight reservation was: in the 'Miss Venezuela' arepa, which contained mozzarella and tomato, the ingredients felt a bit substandard and non-authentic, like the sort of sandwich elements you would get in a Sainsbury's sandwich, transported into an arepa!  But, on the other hand, I did know what was in it when I ordered, so I only have myself to blame!

Free wifi, amazing breakfast deals, & an eclectic seating arrangement & location...wow, if I lived in this area, I'd be a regular! 

Their brownies are also scrumptious, & they serve a decent macchiato. It really is a great place with wonderful service, incomparable  arepas, & a gorgeous view from the comfy hammocks.

If you're taking a walk at the regents canal on a sunny day, this is the perfect place to enjoy delicious food in a cozy atmosphere with great views. 

After having visited this restaurant for several times, these are my absolute favorites from the weekly menu (you can always ask for this menu even if the brunch menu is on the table): 
As starters the cheese Tequeños and the Patacones with beef for sharing with friends. Don't leave them, they are delicious!
As a main course I recommend the pork shoulder or for vegetarians the plantains - both as Cachapas. 

But of course, feel free to discover your own favorites :)
