Review Summary

Café Vasco Da Gama comes across as a cozy, welcoming spot in downtown Montreal that feels like a quick escape to Portugal with a warm European vibe, perfect for a casual breakfast, lunch, or a relaxed coffee break. Reviews highlight tasty, fresh food and a good lineup of pastries and sandwiches, along with satisfying omelettes, salads, and desserts, and they praise strong espresso, friendly staff, and the option of indoor or outdoor seating that suits conversations or study. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as charming and unpretentious, making it a good spot to unwind and catch up with friends. Yet some experiences mention downsides such as inconsistent value with some dishes being overpriced or average, occasional slow service, and items that are too sweet or not as flavorful as expected. Taken together, the cafe is viewed as a pleasant, approachable option with a distinct Portuguese feel, a focus on quality ingredients, and a range of breakfast and lunch choices, especially appealing to those seeking a European cafe experience in 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.
