Gooney’s Sandwich Works - Ottawa, Ontario

I was in centretown on an errand and decided to give this place a shot - and boy was I glad that I did. The arepa I chose, the Pabellon, was just scrumptious. The feta brought in a good amount of salt and the plantain added a sweet note on top. I ... really enjoyed the coriander sauce as well. And the arepa itself? Just plain delicious. The staff were friendly and seemed in good spirits with other customers and between themselves, which is always a good sign. The only thing I’d mention is that I went in on a hot day and the place was quite hot inside, so I would take that into consideration. Read more

Tried the Isabella and the papillon. Both I had to grab to go and eat a little later so they were probably better hot and to eat right away. The staff were fun to chat with and explained about the food to some new customers. Nice spot. Cool ... bread the wrap it in I liked the beans and feta and plantain in the Papillion but actually thought the meat was pork. Goes to show what I know. Read more

I had a coffee and a shredded beef arepa and a coffee. It was good. I would have liked too see more selection of cheese since I am addicted to cheese but it was a good experience.

I don’t give many 5 stars but this place deserves it, they spent time on the details. I stopped here after work around 630. I had the chicken arepa which was totally delicious- a nice touch of extra sauce on the table. It’s also just a nice place ... to relax- nice lighting, great music, comfortable decor. Prices very reasonable. Read more
