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.

One of my favorite cafés in MTL, Vasco da Gama is a fancier place to grab a ILLY Espresso & a wide variety of sandwiches & other things.

It's yellow walls & blue sea tiles invite your eyes to feast on it's beautiful decor as it's a great place I'd recommend for a fancier coffee date. Being a Portugese style café, they also have the world famous Portuguese egg tarts called "Natas" & a few portugese imports such as Piri-Piri hot sauce, fancy-schwancy sardines tin cans & a few other interesting finds. Also one can buy a whole can of that high-end renown ILLY coffee in the tin cans so you can enjoy it at home.

A classic on Peel street when you need a break from shopping!!

Vasco is the best spot for a light & healthy lunch in downtown Montreal. I have been eating there for many years. With a cozy European atmosphere & excellent customer service, I would recommend to tourists & locals alike. Food is always fresh & there’s a nice variety of salads & sandwiches �

Même si je n'aime habituellement pas les sandwichs, je dois admettre que les leurs sont plutôt bons. Leurs salades sont tout aussi réussies.
