About

BienMeSabe serves Venezuelan staples including generously filled arepas, plantains, and black beans, with a tropical vegan arepa made with marinated tofu. The casual Ravenswood cafe has outdoor seating, and reviewers mention Wednesday arepa night and lunch specials; vegan choices are available but make up a small part of a largely meat- and dairy-serving menu.
