    According to the owner:
    A lot can be said about the Queen Street strip between Spadina and Bathurst: it’s not what it used to be; it’s lost its crown to Ossington; it’s too commercial; it’s dirty, etc. But, one aspect of this stretch of Toronto that cannot be disputed is its urban quality; from yoga mats and run-down flower shops to tattoos and t-shirts, Queen West is extraordinary in its effortlessness.
    But, for Eduardo Lee, proud owner of Queen Street’s just-opened Venezuelan eatery, Arepa Café, that Queen Street flavour is definitely for the better. By marketing Arepa not as an ethnic restaurant but as a “hybrid between Venezuelan and Toronto urbanity,” Lee’s choice of location was spot on. The ease with which Arepa Café has adapted to the Queen Street dynamic is not a surprise, given that Lee has a degree in environmental design and many years experience in the restaurant industry.
