food was ok but service wasn't great, some people were nice while others were downright rude. If it were busy I would get it but it was Wednesday morning around 10am. There are so many nice cafes downtown, probably not worth coming back. Train your staff better.

Les plats & sandwhich sont delicieux, autant que les natas & le café
Service personalisé, toujours un grand plaisir de voir le gérant Jorge, ainsi que ses employés souriants

Café Vasco da Gama is a gem in the heart of Montreal.

Walking in feels like slipping away to Portugal for a moment, warm, inviting, & full of charm. It's the perfect place to unwind from the city's chaos, take a breath, & just enjoy yourself.

The food is outstanding, full of flavour & comfort, & surprisingly affordable for the quality. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, & every visit feels like a little escape.

If you need good food & a moment of peace, this is the spot.

Quel surprise! Nous étions dans les environs & avions envie d'un café - wow! On a fait un bon choix. Le service était sympatique & le café était sur la coche. Je pense encore à mon cold brew 24h après. Nos sandwichs étaient également très bons, tout est frais!

Good music & ambiance ! Felt like I stepped in a cafe in Europe, with strong Portuguese roots.

Nice place for a cappuccino & croissant. Very European feel with sidewalk seating. The food is standard, but everything you would expect for a sidewalk cafe.
