Le Mariposa est situé sur le chemin de la Côte Saint-Luc, dans le quartier Notre-Dame-de-Grâce de Montréal.
C’est un bistro fort sympathique où on peut apprécier les diverses performances des artistes, en direct les jeudis, vendredis et samedis. Un véritable bistro des années 60 au 21e siècle!
Au Mariposa, on vous offre de délicieux petits déjeuners accompagnés de café Delicioso Espresso, fait de grains rôtis importés d’Italie. On vous sert aussi une belle variété de sandwiches et de salades toujours de la plus grande fraîcheur, et le dimanche on vous prépare un savoureux brunch.
Lors des soirées musicales, le souper est servi entre 18h et 21h. Amenez vos amis, votre famille, vos enfants et votre maman, et soyez assurés que tous passeront un moment inoubliable!
Mariposa se présente comme un lieu convivial et accessible où la musique live et une ambiance chaleureuse s'allient à une cuisine simple mais réussie. Le sandwich de viande fumée biologique et les frites sont fréquemment appréciés et la carte propose des options variées, y compris des choix végétariens. L'ambiance est décontractée et authentique, parfaite pour passer une soirée entre amis ou écouter un spectacle. Des soirées musicales régulières permettent de jouer ou d'écouter, avec des open mic le mercredi et des sessions ouvertes le jeudi, soutenues par un service amical et compétent et par un système sonore de qualité. Le cadre attire un public chaleureux et multigerationnel et l'endroit est souvent décrit comme un joyau montréalais où l'on peut déguster un cocktail maison tout en découvrant des artistes variés, du jazz au rock; bien que les tarifs soient un peu élevés, ils sont perçus comme justifiés par le soutien apporté aux artistes et par l'expérience globale qui mêle nourriture, ambiance et musique live.
Went there for the show which was very good.
'The Madhatters'
Welcoming & friendly establishment. I figured a lot of the people I saw were regulars.
Nice & cosy place for music.
No dance floor to speak of. If you don't mind crowded, then you're home.
Great service from our waitress from Alberta.
Now let's talk about what we ate. 1 ⭐? is too generous.
I had the cheeseburger & sweet potato fries.
My cheeseburger arrived slightly warm/cold. The bun is horrific. Cold, no butter, the cheese was not even melted.
It was also gritty on top & flavourless.
The meat was unseasoned, lukewarm, hard, overcooked, dry & packed so hard together, I got a workout trying to cut it down & chew it in smaller bites.
I small slice of lettuce, tomato butts & not much else to say about it. I was hungry so I ate it & discarded the sandy bun.
The sweet potatoes were also on the cold side. Not nice & thick like most of the times I've had them in other places. Thin, hard, overcooked.
My husband had a chicken fajita & he said his chicken was dry & tasteless. His fries were good.
Would I recommend this place? For a show & a drink, yes.
Other foods, maybe. The man in front of me also ordered the cheeseburger & I could tell he didn't like it bc he stopped eating it after 1/2.
Vic Label thank you for running this place. Guitarists & musicians & singer alike have a wonderful home to play, listen & eat.
Service. Super friendly.
Food. Good especially the organic hot smoked meat sandwich.
Environment. Nothing fancy, quite casual but clean & comfortable.
If you want to enjoy yourself or with friends this is the pace to be. If you're a musician they have instruments for you to play or bring your own. The sound technician is great & the sound quality is too.
Every Thursday people come & just play & it's fantastic. I will no be coming every Thursday & hopefully I will one day go up to the stage & play a song on my guitar.
Definitely will return.

It was my first visit to Cafe Mariposa but it won't be my last . My smoked meat sandwich was good , fries were some of the best that I've ever tasted & Our server David was so genuine & kind. When my friends & I arrived we could feel the welcoming & friendly vibe . The 8 piece band ( including piano & saxophone ) band was great , playing lots of rock & roll favourites!! A real NDG gem
I was smitten by the taste of the Mariposa martini. You read right, a novel elixir created by none other than Victor (cafe owner & mixologist extraordinaire).
The extensive liquor collection is something that this cafe should be proud of.
Now for the'music', Mariposa is a music den, the best way to enjoy is when music is LIVE. This cafe has such an extensive line up of talent, one needs to check the website frequently.
Ambience, one can easily go from a negative mood to a satisfying mood, by the warm & friendly staff that work there.
They really do make you feel like you are part of the Mariposa community.
Thank you to Victor, Laure, David & Fiona (peekaboo, I see you over the counter!)
See you very very soon!
I have been a patron, as a diner, music listener & musical community member, of Mariposa Café for the past nine months & feel I finally found the place I've been looking for in Montréal.
Owned by a super talented Montréal musician, Mariposa Café hosts a diverse range of authentic musicians who attract a warm, genuine, multi-generational crowd of music appreciative people.
They offer a wide variety of dishes; even vegetarian. Their small staff are always courteous & patient. The owner, who bartends, has created his own marvellous version of a Cosmopolitan from his eclectic liquor collection (Note: it is blue rather than red).
The atmosphere is subtle & quirky, with local artist's works, for example, paintings by Susan Shulman, & tons of music memorabilia from the owners' personal collection.
I could go on but then the review would be too long for the modern attention span.
Enjoyed my evening here, listening to the musical artist , who played for almost 3 hours straight. Only ate some sweet potato fries, which were very good, & had a glass of wine. I guess it's the norm now that a small glass of wine costs over 12$. Which I find is a little much.

Great service & it's a quality place for live music. Overall Mariposa is a good experience, but the food side of things is mediocre. Some prices on the menu are bonkers. $22 for a veggie burger meal? $12 for three samosas? Some of the food decisions are questionable too, like throwing greasy fried onions on top of the samosas (which are supposed to be hand food) & then serving them with sour cream. With the high prices I thought they were paying the performer, but apparently they don't.
