Went there for the show which was very good. “The Madhatters” Welcoming and friendly establishment. I figured a lot of the people I saw were regulars. Nice and 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 and 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 and flavourless. The meat was unseasoned, lukewarm, hard, overcooked, dry and packed so hard together, I got a workout trying to cut it down and chew it in smaller bites. I small slice of lettuce, tomato butts and not much else to say about it. I was hungry so I ate it and discarded the sandy bun. The sweet potatoes were also on the cold side. Not nice and thick like most of the times I’ve had them in other places. Thin, hard, overcooked. My husband had a chicken fajita and he said his chicken was dry and tasteless. His fries were good. Would I recommend this place? For a show and a drink, yes. Other foods, maybe. The man in front of me also ordered the cheeseburger and I could tell he didn’t like it bc he stopped eating it after 1/2.
Reviews / Ratings for Café Mariposa
Vic Label thank you for running this place. Guitarists and musicians and singer alike have a wonderful home to play, listen and eat. Service. Super friendly. Food. Good especially the organic hot smoked meat sandwich. Environment. Nothing fancy, quite casual but clean and 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 and the sound quality is too. Every Thursday people come and just play and it’s fantastic. I will no be coming every Thursday and hopefully I will one day go up to the stage and play a song on my guitar. Definitely will return.
Mariposa is a Montreal gem. Victor is such a gracious host and the variety and quality of the live music artists and events is unparalleled. We love Mariposa, the music, the food, and Victor!
