Cantina Concha Montreal Restaurant: 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.

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.

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.

J'ai adoré La Cantina Concha ! Aussi bien pour le super accueil que l'ambiance feutrée & musicale. Nous avons commandé des cocktails en laissant libre cours à l'imagination de la super barmaid & avons été scotchés ! Un équilibre parfait avec des saveurs que je n'avais jamais goûté auparavant. Je recommande vivement & à coup sûr, dès que nous serons à Montréal nous y retournerons avec beaucoup de joie.
