Conuco - Venezuelan Kitchen

The best arepas, tequeños and guasacaca sauce in London! Delicious food (including good veggie and vegan options) and it always has a great atmosphere at any time of day - good for brunch / lunch / dinner & drinks. The owner Adrian is a legend and the rum & papellón con limón cocktails are delicious.

We’ve been coming to this place for a while now, and it never disappoints! The food is always so delicious and the atmosphere is very nice and relaxed. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Can’t recommend Conuco enough!

Food reviews - Conuco I will preface my review by first mentioning that I am biased, as I’ve become friends with Adrian over the last couple years of eating at Conuco. Also, this will be a little long. First time I came was in 2021 I believe, I had been working from Cable Cafe during the morning. This time, the tomatoes weren’t going to be enough, so I ventured out on Brixton Road to find a spot. I see Conuco a couple doors into my expedition, and the rest is history. Before I go into it, yes, there are enough options for vegans! The first thing, the service. I was immediately impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Went to the front, greeted by Adrian was advised on which arepa to get. I obliged and was not let down. Let’s get into what you came for, the food. I started with the tequeños, which was a great choice. The tequeños at Conuco are some of the best I've ever had. The dough is perfectly crispy yet soft on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The cheese is gooey and melted, and the combination of flavors is simply irresistible. I also had an arepa, which are cornmeal patties that are filled with a variety of ingredients, for those that haven’t had it before. I had the Reina Pepiada, which is filled with shredded chicken, avocado, and mayonnaise. It was the perfect combination of flavors and textures. They have sauces to enhance all the flavours, the guasacaca & Adrians own hot sauce1 They’ve recently added some new dishes to the menu, my highlight is the sancocho. It’s a heartwarming and flavour bomb of a beef stew/broth. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the vegetables are cooked until they are tender. The meat is also cooked perfectly, and it is falling-off-the-bone tender I think that’s enough. I’ve brought plenty of friends, and all have loved it.

Amazing food and service! Been coming here since I moved to Brixton and hands down this has become my favourite restaurant in London. Everything on the menu is delicious and the people who run the place are amazing and have always treated me with kindness. Would recommend this place to anyone!

Best authentic venezuelan arepas place in London in my opinion. Allergens declared properly and gluten free and vegan options available. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant but also had take out before. Great friendly staff, amazing arepas and fair priced.
