Bar Luz is a fonda fina — an elevated, intimate expression of traditional Mexican cuisine influenced by the taquerias and neighbourhood eateries of Mexico City. It is the latest project from the team behind Alma (Chef Juan Lopez Luna and sommelier Lindsay Brennnan) the beloved restaurant in Montreal’s Outremont neighborhood that has helped redefine Mexican cuisine in Canada. The menu draws inspiration from the matriarchs of Juan’s family, specifically his "abuela", reimagined through the lens of Quebec’s seasonal bounty. Rooted in memory, migration, and the deep flavors of family and conviviality, Bar Luz is right next door to Alma. Open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday (reservations recommended). At Bar Luz heirloom corn is imported from small farmers in Mexico. It is nixtamalized and milled in-house. Tortillas are pressed by hand à la minute and cooked on the traditional terra cotta comals.
