Arepado

Arepado is a Venezuelan restaurant and catering business based in Lyon, France. It describes itself as the first "arepera" in Lyon, a type of eatery dedicated to arepas — Venezuelan cornmeal cakes that are naturally gluten-free. The restaurant operates from 246, Cours Lafayette in Lyon's 3rd arrondissement and offers dine-in, takeaway, and delivery through platforms such as Uber Eats and Deliveroo. Beyond arepas, Arepado serves a range of Venezuelan specialties including cachapas (sweet corn pancakes), tequeños (cheese-filled fried dough sticks), empanadas, hallacas, and pan de jamón. It also sells imported Venezuelan grocery products such as Malta, Frescolista, Toddy, Diablitos, and Pirulín, and ships these items across France via its online shop. The business positions itself as a specialist in Venezuelan street food and a cultural ambassador for Venezuelan cuisine in the Lyon area.
