About Us.
A Revival Rooted in Flavor and Heritage
From family kitchens in Manzanillo to the heart of Montreal, Resto Calaveras is back to celebrate Mexican soul, color, and taste.
This sentiment sparked the revival of Resto Calaveras.
After a long pause, we’ve returned with renewed passion, refreshed branding, and the same love for tradition.
We’re not just reopening a restaurant — we’re reviving a space of joy, flavor, and culture.
Meet the Chef
Elemy’s Roots
Chef Elemy’s journey began at the age of 8, under the warm guidance of her mother and grandmother in Manzanillo, Mexico.
Every Saturday, family recipes came to life in her hands, tamales, moles, and handmade tortillas.
After earning her chef’s degree and moving to Canada, Elemy fell in love with Montreal, its people, and its vibrant food scene.
Today, she shares her heritage through colorful dishes made with heart, memory, and bold spices.
Our Philosophy
Mexican Soul, Montreal Heart
At Resto Calaveras, every dish tells a story.
A story of home. Of roots. Of celebration.
We believe in family-style meals, bold flavors, and the beauty of mixing cultures.
Whether you’re joining us for tacos or tamales, a mezcal cocktail or a casual lunch, you’re always part of the family.
