Many reviews describe Café Chato as a cozy, welcoming cat cafe where well cared-for cats roam and some are available for adoption; visitors praise the friendly staff, a relaxed atmosphere, and good coffee with vegetarian options. Some feedback notes weekends can be crowded and noisy, making it harder to interact with the cats, and a few comments mention cleanliness issues. The cats are the main draw, described as calm, sociable, and well loved, with several accounts of potential adoptions and a sense of care for their welfare. The cafe also garners praise for its contribution to cat welfare and the friendly ambiance that makes it a go-to spot for studying, socializing, or simply enjoying time with felines. Overall, Café Chato is portrayed as a popular destination for cat lovers that offers a welcoming vibe, decent drinks, and an emphasis on adoption.
Overrun by kids at all times who annoy the cats. The food is overpriced but okay taste-wise. I've gone three times looking to have a relaxing visit & was met with kids running, & even a baby getting changed in one of the cafe tables. This place has potential, but they should incorporate a booking system or some sort of way to ensure both guests & cats can have moments of peace.

Such a cool & relaxing place to take a break. Went with my wife & 5yr old son & we had a great time seeing, peeing & playing with the cats who came around frequently for play or pets before releasing to the taters or shelves for some personal space.
So... honestly, for a café, it's pretty average. Some items were reasonably priced, & others were not. If I had to name an item I was truly satisfied with, it was the soup of the day. The soup was done perfectly, with no flaws to me at the very least. I loved it, even though I am often very picky on soup & the flavors from it. I had the berries smoothie, & it was really good. It was honestly very good for the price as well. I did not have the pastries, but my friends who were with me mentioned that it was good. However, the sandwiches & paninj were overpriced & questionable. At the very least... the sandwiches were really small despite their price... (10,45$) There really is not much to say considering that it is a cafe, not a restaurant, nor a bakery. As such, here's the main thing to pay attention to. Surely, if people go to a cat cafe, it's mainly for the cats, not the food. Well, if you're fine with drinks here, then it's definitely worth the visits. The cats were very adorable & playful. The cafe is fairly peaceful, so it is a great place to study & relax around cats. They provide cat toys as well so that customers can play with the cats. Although it is outside of downtown Montreal & that the food is pretty average, I have to agree that it is worth visiting at least once. I think it's also important to mention that they have adorable merchandise at decent prices. I got a pair of cats that can connect with one another, & that was 7$. Another thing: there is another cat café in downtown Montreal. However, I didn't like how it was really crowded, making it hard to relax with cats. So really, this place was great for giving the sense of relaxation & peace.
L'ambiance est conviviale, par contre les enfants courent partout, crient & ne semblent pas savoir comment se comporter avec les chats. Malheureusement, pas un endroit tranquille pour relaxer, travailler ou étudier. Très dommage, car j'aurais voulu revenir. C'est plus une garderie qu'un café
You can relax with a delicious latte, sandwhich, soup & many more items, sorrounded by cat trees & the cutest little kitties, all of which are adoptable We visited on a Saturday so it was full of cat loving families but we can tell that on a weekday this would be good place for students or people who like to work at cafés, as it is very comfortable & has many electrical plugs everywhere. We passed by quickly on a whim but we definitely need to go back (when there are less people & the cats are awake) Our cat ear headband wearing, album cover art knowledgeable server was also very friendly & swift.
J'ai adorer, les chats sont vraiment mignon & c'est relaxant. Même la ya beaucoup de monde la fin de semaine je suis aller passer l'après midi la & j'ai eu de la bonne compagnie!
