Arepa & Co Stockwell

At the heart of Little Portugal lies a secret; a South American secret that sizzles with colour and soul. Welcome to Arepa & Co, your neighbourhood Venezuelan restaurant.

In true Venezuelan spirit, the Stockwell branch is community-driven, offering varied evenings that are alive with music and local talent. It's cosy and colourful, encouraging diners to connect fully over delicious food, perhaps make a new friend or two, and soak up the last of the day's rays through the countless skylights that flood this place with light and love.

Now for the menu and the delicious reason behind this restaurant's name. Their answer to a burger, Venezuelan Arepas are bound to become your new favourite comfort food. Find traditional Venezuelan cornbread filled with anything from shredded beef and black beans to crispy fried chicken, braised pork shoulder and sweet potato. All paired with heaps of crunchy salad, salsas and mayo, these little handfuls pack a major flavour punch.

Up next are the cachapas, a traditional sweetcorn pancake stuffed with the same fillings as their arepas counterparts. For those looking for a lighter option, their rice bowls are as nutritious as they are moreish and full of variety and texture. Finally, find some more room for a round of chocolate tequeños! Alternatively, make an Arepa Sour or Cuba Libre cocktail your dessert. Anything goes at Arepa & Co.
