Review Summary

Mariposa is widely regarded as a welcoming community hub in Montreal that excels as a venue for live music and professional open mic events. Visitors consistently praise the warm, friendly staff and the cozy atmosphere, which makes it a popular spot for meeting friends and enjoying diverse musical talent. While experiences with the food are somewhat mixed, with some patrons highly recommending the smoked meat and pizza while others finding certain items like burgers and fajitas inconsistent in temperature and quality, the overall sentiment remains positive due to the vibrant environment, exceptional sound quality, and the supportive nature of the establishment toward local performers.

Mariposa is a unique little gem, where regulars gather & newcomers are always welcome. The music is heartfelt & genuine, the decor is unpretentious but spotless. Wear whatever you want, I've seen women in jeans & women in sweater sets & pearls, they all have a great time!

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

The open mic host was a true professional & the way it was managed so cool . Anyone who wants to sing it's a good spot to try
The pizza was nice . The portion was a maybe 8 inch across ( maybe more or less I did not measure ) it came already sliced
I liked the texture . Melt in the mouth.

The chicken was cooked to perfection.
Came with a salad .

The price is a bit up there which I think helps support music performers
but overall a good place to go to hear music .

Fully licensed .
