Café Nao Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
CaféBistroFusionBoutique-CounterBrunchPrepared MealsResto-Bar
Un café avec menu bistro au cœur de la Petite-Italie, une aventure humaine, une halte gourmande, un refuge convivial: le Café Nao, c’est tout cela à la fois. Dans le vibrant quartier de la Petite-Italie, ce café au grand cœur est né du désir d’Alexis et Noée de se lancer dans un nouveau projet après avoir porté pendant de nombreuses années celui de l’épicerie fine « Alexis le gourmand ». Au Café Nao, ces fins gourmets à l’appétit contagieux ont le plaisir de proposer à leur clientèle une belle carte de vins locaux et d’importation privée, une sélection de cafés, bières, cidres et autres boissons de premier choix, ainsi qu’un menu bistro idéal pour l’apéro ou une pause-repas en toute simplicité.

Review Summary

Café Nao has some tasty dishes but the coffee quality and overall flavors fall short in this set of reviews. A brunch including avocado and bacon egg benedict and a breakfast dish with baked beans and fried egg showed potatoes that were undercooked and unsalted at first, with replacements that were better cooked but still flavorless and unsalted, and beans that were undercooked. The coffee was described as burnt and unpleasant. The owner was described as friendly, and the cafe also sells coffee beans. A quiet Saturday crowd was noted as a potential warning sign about footfall. Overall, the experience came across as underseasoned and unlikely to inspire a return visit.

Food was super good but coffee wasn't that good, the owner was a young woman who was super friendly & nice! They also sell coffee beans!

I was there today for brunch, & it should've been a warning sign when the restaurant was so empty on a Saturday. My friend & I ordered the avocado & bacon egg benedict & the breakfast dish with baked beans & fried egg. The potatoes were undercooked & completed unsalted. We complained & they changed them for us for potatoes that were better cooked, but still flavorless & unsalted. Beans were also undercooked, my friend was not able to eat them. In general, everything was quite unflavored. The coffee also did not taste good. It had a burnt taste & it was very unpleasant. I will not be coming back.

Wonderful food & service. We were visiting from Chicago & just happened to stop in for a coffee & breakfast before exploring little Italy. Was a very nice experience.

Amazing flavours! I've been so disappointed lately with restaurants.. Not this one! A "simple" breakfast of benedicts & prosciutto ham became a gastronomic experience ! Clearly the chef takes great pride in his dishes & intentionally selects the best ingredients. Even the coffees had an interesting flavor. The plates are prepared with care & decorated with microgreens & flowers that (for once!) add debth to the flavors. I would've taken another plate if I wasn't in a rush 😋 & the kick is that it's fairly priced! Quite the gem that is worth the detour, & I live 40 minutes away! Highly recommend. Fun facts: free wifi, great atmosphere for studying or working, service is on point. They do brunches, lunch, coffees, viennoiseries & more.

We were going to Jean Talon market but needed breakfast first, so we found Cafe Nao close by. There was plenty of space to sit & service was fast & friendly. We both had Eggs Benedict & coffee & we both enjoyed the meal. Plenty of fruit! The atmosphere was a bit dreary but maybe it was the time of day.

Première visite, essayé les oeufs bénédictine. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Service réellement attentionné & professionnel. Bel espace, épuré, tout en blanc, en plus de deux comptoirs, une rangée de tables avec banquette, moyennement chaleureux. Très peu occupé pour un dimanche matin: essayez-vous! J'y retournerai ☺️

Very good food at reasonable prices. This owner-operated cafe is spotless- including the bathrooms! Pride of ownership shines here. On a cool day their deck fronting Av St Laurent is a great place to relax with a glass of wine. They make some of the best coffee in Little Italy & as mentioned, their food has been tasty & delicious. Check their hours before stopping in as they are closed 2 days a week. -Joe Sunseri Rue Clark
