Cozy place with very cute cats! Very nice place for a date, to come to get some work done, or to simply relax. You may or may not leave with a new feline companion :]

The cats are very friendly & playful. It is also very evident that they are well cared for by staff. I am going to miss these cats a lot.

I enjoyed the food. Soup was cozy & the chia seed pudding had a fun texture. I also appreciate the hand-drawn cat art that is on the takeout cup lids :)

At this cafe, you just pay for food/drink & you get to play with the cats during the duration of your stay. I am glad that there are still cat cafes out there that don't make you pay so much to play with the cats. The old cat cafes in Toronto used to operate the same way but all the current ones make you pay a certain amount to just play with the cats only (& it's timed). We need more cat cafes like Café Chato.

Great place amazing atmosphere & reasonable price. But the kids running after the cats & some people force holding them in the corner kinda sucks but other than that it was an amazing experience.

As an expert with cats, this place was absolutely TERRIBLE. Service was extremely judgy toward my brother & I, (giving us weird looks, whispering to each other, trying to rush us to leave) & there were a bunch of kids making the cats uncomfortable. Do not call yourself a cat cafe if you LITERALLY ONLY HAD TWO CATS, & don't care for those cats. They were visibly scared of those children who were bugging them, their tails puffing up & their ears folded down. Anyone who even knew just a fraction of a cat's body language KNOWS that means they are scared or upset. Terrible experience, food was very messy & dry. Please save your money & don't fund a place that doesn't care for the well beings of the living beings in their control. Cats are not toys, do not treat them as such.

Cat's are nice, but really kids... kids are kids I know, but gotta inform them to not yell or scare the cat smh. Also, the group of 4 at the window kept taking & keeping all the cats to themselves & left none for the rest of us. Really disappointed. Please do something or a rule

I had an awesome experience at Café Chato. The staff was incredibly sweet, & the atmosphere was amazing. The cats are lovely & very well taken care of, & their environment is really nice. Drinks are well-priced & tasty. In the bathroom, there was an incredibly cute guard, a cat that seemed to distract everyone 🥰. I will definitely return here before leaving Montreal, & it's definitely a great place for locals to study, work, or catch up with friends as well. The inside is pretty spacious. I would definitely recommend this place! 😁
