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.

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.

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! 😁

Such a sweet & wonderful experience at this cat cafe! Usually cat cafes have not great food but this one was incredible! I got an everything croissant with cheese & it was amazing. The hot chocolate had a heart out of foam. Would go here for the food if it was only a cafe! But the cats were soooooo sweet, so well socialized. We saw tons of kids when we went & the cats were so playful & sweet with them. There are spaces for the cats to go that people aren't allowed in if they want a break. But a lot of the cats seem to love socializing & playing. Amazing experience

The food & service were exceptional! I was especially surprised by how great the food & coffee was. It was quite busy when we went so the cats were a bit skittish, I'd definitely like to come back during the week when it's less busy to really enjoy the cats & the cafe. 🐈😻

The overall experience was good, the food was nice & the staff were kind & welcoming. If you are searching for a quiet experience though, the best time to go would be on weekdays. Since this café is very popular, on weekends it can get crowded & wait times can vary. I recommend this place to anyone who likes animals as it is a lovely little café.
