Budare Venezuelan Restaurant

Most delicious gluten free food available and very reasonably priced. Take away only but there is space to sit outside. Really delicious.

Was up in Sevenoaks work wise and happened upon this delightful Venezuelan cafe called Budare (budare is a large open flat baking pan similar to a comal, used to cook flatbreads etc)... I ordered a vegetarian arepa (also called tijitafun or fectegua, it's a patty made of ground maize dough stuffed with a delicious filling of black beans, avocados, plantain, cheese, and served hot... Similar to a sandwich this dish has been a staple in the northern region of South America since pre-Columbian times, and notable primarily in the cuisines of Colombia and Venezuela) and it's the first time I've had it and definitely recommended... They have meat options but I opted for a vegetarian (and gluten free) filling to be slightly healthier, I've also had their rice and beans dish at a local food festival and it was equally lovely... Lovely and attentive service & food and recommended!
