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.

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!

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.

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.
