Cantina Concha Old Montreal, Montreal: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
CaféBarPastriesMexicanGreat selection of cocktailsResto-BarSupper Club

La Cantina Concha is at once a café, a bar, and a dance space tucked away in Old Montreal. More than just a bar, it’s a vibrant gathering place. Our mission: to offer a warm, joyful, and inclusive environment where the community can thrive — and to proudly celebrate our love for Mexico and its vibrant culture.

It’s the perfect spot for a morning coffee, a spontaneous after-work drink, or an unforgettable night of dancing. We envisioned a space open to everyone, where hospitality regains its true meaning: genuine welcome, shared joy, and real human connection.

Proudly queer and woman-founded, La Cantina Concha is the co-creation of Daphnee Vary Deshaies. It’s a safe space for all. We place inclusivity and diversity at the heart of everything we do — from hiring to musical programming to the artists who bring the venue to life. We also value social sustainability for our team.

Amazing!! We had the Tinga quesadillas & they were outstandingly delicious!! 😍
The vibe & ambience is also amazing, full Cumbia music & most from Mexico, fun & chill vibe! Also the waiter was very kind & very hospitable!
One advised thing for them maybe, is something my Mexican girlfriend said when she got her Margarita (which was also very good):'They should add chili or salt on the rim of the glass'. But overal definitely 5/5 stars no doubt!! (& prices are reasonable, definitely not overpriced of something)

If I could give 100 stars / 10 I would. This place is amazing. The owner Daphne is a superstar. Very attentive very educated in her craft & will tailor your drinks to your liken! Tell her what you like - she'll surprise you with her creations. She explained to us the effort & care that goes into all of her ingredients from citrus to chilli's & she takes great pride & passion in what she does. Beautiful vibe inside, real feel of Mexico. Cannot recommend this place enough! Irish living in Toronto - visiting Montreal for the weekend & will be back!

Daphne. Wow! Amazing person & an amazing bar, she will listen to your preferences & make you a drink that both her & you love. Chicharonnes with valentina hot sauce & lime, top class. Daphne described the time & effort that goes into making their own triple sec & other liquors for the perfectly concocted drink & you can taste it in the final result. Come here, talk to her & drink the perfect drink 🍸

Daphne is an artisan & the vibes are great. Make your trip to old town by visiting this amazing place. I was lucky enough to be here for cinco de mayo & the fresh tortillas & meat off the charcoal grill were out of this world.

Super petit resto pour le 5@7! La sélection de bières & de tequila sont impressionnantes. Par contre, le rapport qualité-prix de la nourriture est un peu décevant. 3 petits tacos servis dans sauces pour 20$
