About Toasty Arepas
Toasty Arepas is an Ottawa restaurant created by chef Pierre, who fell in love with Latin food and culture while living in Mexico, Colombia and Peru, and decided to bring the essence of Colombia to Ottawa in a laid-back space where authenticity meets innovation.
Its menu is a tour of Colombian cooking: Colombian empanadas, arepa paisa with chicharrón, morcilla or chorizo, bandeja paisa, a Colombian-style hot dog, patacones and Colombian buñuelos, with gluten-free and vegetarian options.
The restaurant defines itself as an authentic Colombian culinary journey that honours the rich heritage and vibrant flavours of Latin America, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a welcoming atmosphere where every meal celebrates culture and community.
