Review Summary

Café Vasco Da Gama feels like a little slice of Europe in Montreal, with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that many describe as charming and warm. The vibe, pastries, and coffee are favorites, including a strong espresso and very tasty croissants and nata, and the sandwiches and breads reflect Portuguese roots. The menu is described as fresh and delicious with good value for quality, and the staff are often praised for friendliness and helpful service. The space works well for breakfast, a casual catch up with friends, or a quick lunch, and outdoor seating adds to the European cafe feel. Some reviews note the cafe can be busy and speedy service, occasional long wait for drinks, or high prices for certain items, but the overall impression remains positive: a reliable, pleasant cafe that offers a little European escape in the heart of Montreal.

Went for a quiet & nice breakfast & that's what we got. The omlettes were fluffy & the fruits were fresh. The bread had the right amount of butter & was fried just right. The pistachio croissant & the natas were the right amount of sweet that we didn't know we craved in the morning. The staff were friendly & we also got a nice & cozy place to chat & have our breakfast.
Recommended if you are in the Montreal downtown area looking for some excellent breakfast joints.

Mediocre & over priced. The pastry (bread pudding) was inedibly sweet. Omelettes & coffee were ok. 75$ for two for breakfast after tip & an upsell on $12 glasses of OJ. Slow service.

We enjoyed a seat on a nice patio for more than half an hour before receiving our breakfast. Breakfast was ok but we were charged excessively for each item in the omelette & there was very little in the actual omelet.
