FAQ
Arepa Zone in Washington. It's not a vegan restaurant, but its vegan arepa scored highest out of 4 places across 2 cities. Runner-up: ChapiYork in Bogota.
By sheer number of good options: Bogota (3), Washington (1). But smaller cities can punch above their weight — a city with 5 places might have a higher average quality than one with 50.
No. Some of the top-ranked places are fully vegan, but many are regular restaurants that happen to make really good vegan arepa. Each listing shows a Vegan Friendliness grade (A–E) so you know what to expect before you go.
Each restaurant is scored on how good their vegan arepa specifically is — not their overall rating. A 4.2-star restaurant with incredible vegan arepa will rank above a 4.8-star place where it's an afterthought.
