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.

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!

Quelle belle découverte à Montréal ! Ça fait du bien d'avoir un bar authentique, fun & super accueillant où on se sent chez soi, sans fla fla. Les Quesadilla sont incroyables!! Les drinks dignent des plus grands bars👌 & tout le monde est gentil 🥰 vraiment un bel endroit à essayer.

OMG their chip & salsa was amazing! Unfortunate I didn't take a photo of the salsa (I ate it too fast) but the owner told me they make it all fresh in house daily, & you truly can taste that!
& the chips are from a local tortilla maker, something so simple, made with so much passion & dedication can become something amazing!. The bartender was friendly, the music was so so good! & the space is really well designed.

Loved this place, wee weren't going to go in but were happy we did.
Staff, Vibe & 10$ Margheritas were amazing 🤩.

'Nice atmosphere & polite staff, but I was distracted! The in-venue & Google menu list Ardbeg double at 24 CAD & a tequila cocktail at 14 CAD; the bill charged 36 CAD & 16 CAD - this is an outright transparency failure!'
'Ambiance agréable & personnel poli, mais j'étais distrait ! Le menu sur place & sur Google indique Ardbeg double à 24 CAD & cocktail au tequila à 14 CAD ; la note a facturé 36 CAD & 16 CAD - un échec total de transparence !'
Kristin
Fantastic experience!! Wonderful staff, delicious margaritas. Will go back!

Je suis venu un vendredi soir. L'ambiance était excellente, le DJ mettait de gros beats de reggaeton, & le service était vraiment bon. Franchement, on ne peut rien demander de plus - c'était juste parfait

There is no better place to vibe with your friends. We went in with a big group on a Saturday afternoon & had so much fun with Daphne & team we went back out at night until 3am. Viva la Concha !

The owner herself was our bartender. She was amazing! Such a great spot.
