Thrive and shine with Black Joy Sundays! ☀️

Through a joint partnership with DESTA and BMHC MTL, Black Joys Sundays are back as an affordable quarterly wellness mini-retreat dedicated to Black self-care, Black healing, and Black empowerment! Don’t miss our next session, the Our Roots Mini Retreat!

🍽Meet our Caterer, Cantine Toca Toca!

Cantine Toca Toca is named after the famous minibuses found in Guinea Bissau. It is also known as "taxi-brousse" in Francophone Africa or "chiva" in Colombia. As a Black vegan, the idea behind Cantine Toca Toca is to offer plant-based alternatives & innovations inspired from West African cuisine.

Evy Mendes is a self-taught chef with a background in chemical engineering. She created « Cantine Toca Toca » after a conversation with friends about finding vegan options in West African food. In the kitchen, she’s mixing both her experiences in food engineering and inspirations from her childhood to create authentic meals.

📆Date: Sunday, February 16, 2025 from 2 - 6pm EST

📍Location: Centre culturel Georges-Vanier on 2450 Rue Workman Montréal, QC H3J 1L8

👋🏿 Oi nha guentis (Hey my people), Cantine Toca is back in Montreal!

2024 was all about catering projects and cooking workshops, but in 2025, I’m exploring new possibilities (pop-ups in and outside Montreal, unique dining experiences, and more).

I would love to have your input! I have put together a survey (link in bio) to get your thoughts. Whether you’re in Montreal or anywhere else in the world, your input matters! 🌍✨

🚨Also, the website is getting a little makeover to reflect all these exciting changes. Can’t wait to share what’s coming next!

Mantenha (Greetings),
Evy 🌱

👋🏿 Oi nha guentis (Salut tout le monde), Cantine Toca est de retour à Montréal!

2024 était une année dédiée aux projets de traiteur et aux ateliers de cuisine, mais en 2025, j’ai envie d’explorer de nouvelles possibilités : pop-ups à Montréal et ailleurs, expériences culinaires uniques, et bien plus encore.

J’aimerais beaucoup avoir votre avis! J’ai préparé un sondage (lien en bio) pour recueillir vos impressions. Que vous soyez à Montréal ou ailleurs dans le monde, votre retour compte! 🌍✨

🚨 Le site web est aussi en pleine mise à jour pour refléter tous ces changements. Hâte de vous montrer ce qui arrive!

Mantenha (Salutations),
Evy 🌱
