These massive sandwiches available in downtown Ottawa, Vanier and Orleans do Venezuela and Colombia proud.
Prices: arepas from $12.50 to $15.50My crash course in arepas took place last week, arguably eight years late.
After a few years of making strictly sandwiches for downtown workers, they added arepas — round cakes made of corn flour, usually bountifully stuffed with savoury fillings that have been staples in the northern part of South America for hundreds of years.The Granatis, who had a steakhouse in southern Venezuela before they came to Ottawa, now serve 20 kinds of arepas, of which some are traditionally Venezuelan. Accordingly, they added “arepas” to their business name.
At Gooney’s, arepas are made daily, and I believe that happens elsewhere too, as freshness is key. Ideally, you would eat your arepa on-site rather than taking them home so that its interiors would still be soft and warm from the filling while its exteriors would be crispy and toasty.
