Reviews describe Cantina Concha as a warm, authentic Mexican spot with a welcoming, family-like vibe that makes guests feel at home, whether they are stopping by for cocktails, a quick bite, or live music, and many say it’s a hidden gem in Montreal. The cocktail program earns high marks for creativity and quality, with margaritas and agave-based drinks noted as standout and repeatedly among the best they’ve had on trips, plus occasional mentions of the in-house salsa and chips that are a must and popcorn served as a snack to accompany the drinks. The space offers multiple seating options including a comfy couch, and the atmosphere ranges from relaxed lounge to lively, with live DJ sets that lift the mood. Staff are consistently described as friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, especially the owner who helps personalize service and adds to the warm, welcoming feel. While the food menu is limited, guests enjoy sharing plates and the overall vibe, though a few reviews point to pricing transparency and a desire for more food options. Overall Cantina Concha is seen as a standout destination that people intend to revisit when in Montreal.

Cantina Concha has such a true Montreal vibe-effortlessly cool, a bit underground, & full of energy. The mezcal cocktails are excellent, & the atmosphere strikes a great balance between relaxed & lively. It's a perfect spot for dancing & hanging out with friends.
Honestly, I don't know how I missed this place for five years while living in Montreal. It genuinely feels like my nightlife has been divided into two eras: before & after discovering Cantina Concha. Highly recommended if you want a place that captures the spirit of the city.

We visited La Cantina Concha on a whim for beautiful drinks. We were visiting from Philly & the bartender was so incredibly helpful & provided us a novel of lovely places to visit in the city (thank you!!) she was great!

Daphne & Yannis (I apologise for any misspellings) were phenomenal at making 3 Brits feel very welcome & have a laid back but incredible time. What a place, I cannot fault the service & the drinks were divine! Thank you so much to all the staff (others helped out too but I've named the primary's) & I will 100% be back here again for a Nicki Ferrari! Great place

Cantina Concha is truly a hidden gem. The lovely waitress shared with us that they've only been open for a few months. We were super pleased with the taste of the cocktails. Probably the best we've had on our trip to Montreal thus far. There are plenty of fun Hispanic classics that you can spice up with your choice of liquor. They even serve you popcorn (freshly popped) to snack on. We also enjoyed the multiple seating options, specifically the comfy couch. We didn't dine in, since we were coming from dinner. The vibe here is so welcoming & fun. Everyone who's a part of the Cantina staff seems like family. The atmosphere was similar to a gathering of close friends. Live music was just starting as we left, which was jazzy & lifted spirits even more.

Solid experience, immediately greeted & served. It was a block away from the main road. Bartenders were friendly & accommodating. There was space at the bar & tables available as well. I'm only here for a few days but overall I enjoyed my time here with a margarita.

Stopped in last night for cocktails before a dinner reservation. The bartender was very knowledgeable & attentive. The cocktails were delicious. Very cool spot. Limited food menu. We would have been interested in staying longer had we not had other plans; & if they offered more to eat

Stumbled into Cantina Concha in the middle of the day over the weekend to escape snow & ended up having the most amazing time with great drinks (shout out to Ellie). So much so that we returned the next day after the owner tipped us about the DJ after 10 pm & did not regret the hangover next day (thanks for the free shots cool woman who owns the place).

The salsa & chips are a must have & the agave martinis pack a nice kick.

Will for sure be visiting again next time I'm in the city, especially considering that the bar is a short walk from Coldroom (another personal must visit mtl spot)

The cocktails were incredible. Special shoutout to Ellie - her creations were next level. Even the owner was so warm & attentive, she recognized us the second time we stopped by that same weekend. We came from Toronto, & the vibe here was so good that this spot is officially on our must-visit list every time we're back in Montreal.

Mon conjoint Cédric & moi cherchions simplement une soirée en amoureux à Montréal, mais en marchant dans le Vieux-Port, la vie avait d'autres plans. Une musique latine, festive & impossible à résister, nous a ramenés tout droit dans nos belles années. Nous avons suivi le son & avons décidé d'entrer. Quelle découverte !! Nous avons trouvé LA place parfaite pour nous. Une ambiance chaleureuse dans un petit espace qui dégage une énergie incroyable. Des rencontres spontanées, de la musique pour danser, des cocktails parfaits & surtout, une propriétaire inoubliable.

Daphnée fait toute la différence. Électrisante, humaine, joyeuse & tellement professionnelle, elle maîtrise l'art du cocktail comme personne & reste entièrement disponible pour sa clientèle. Elle incarne le charme de l'endroit du début à la fin. C'est rare de voir un lieu aussi simple, rassembleur & authentique, qui accueille les cultures & les personnes sans aucune prétention, malgré la grande qualité de l'expérience.

Nous sommes tombés sous le charme. Cet endroit mérite d'être découvert. Merci encore ma belle Daphnée !! MP & Cédric xxx

Cantina Concho is THE VIBE! It's an absolute MUST for creative cocktail menu & a sweet kiss to Mexico. Daphne is one of the most passionate bar owners I've had the pleasure of meeting & the bar is 10/10. We can't wait to come back & see you in July!! Thank you, Daphne & Cantina Concho fam!
