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

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.

This is by far my favorite spot in Montreal for coffee or lunch!
The food is amazing & super fresh. My favorite is their canard figue sandwich with the beet salad - I rarely order anything else it's that good! The Portuguese sandwich is super yummy too. Their desserts are insane as well - especially the chocolate chip cookie & the pastel de Nata of course!
The drinks are always perfect - I always get a tea because they serve it in a beautiful pot, or a Chai latte.

The staff is also incredibly attentive & kind, & the ambiance is very warm & fun. Also a great study spot with free wifi.

I could not recommend this place more!

Great Portuguese spot for an espresso. Close to the hotel we were staying. I was happy to see the pastel the nata, it's ok not authentic as it would in Portugal. If you are going to serve something, I feel you need to out in the effort to make it authentic, serve it warm w powdered sugar. It was soggy, not good. N like $4! You order at the register n they'll bring you thd good.

Had their natas. The best I've had & I'm not even a dessert type person. 2 star for atmosphere. Place is nice but can smell constant cigarette smell in non-smoke area.

Café allongé excellent La serveuse me dit Aye au lieu de me dire un beau BONJOUR chaleureux. Muffin aux carottes pâteux, pain perdu pâteux. Faite cuire plus longtemps ou changer de recette. Excellente musique, d'ailleurs c'est ça qui nous a fait rester là, car nous y allions pour manger des pastas de nata, mais il n'y en avait pas.
