Been eating at Vasco for years. Our office often uses them as a caterer & the quality is consistently good. Recently ate in for the first time since the pandemic & it was nice to see nothing had changed. Service rolls quickly even at lunch hour & the sandwiches come out perfectly hot. Prices are good for the quality of food. Definitely recommend the lamb & the duck confit sandwiches. The natas are absolutely fabulous & taste as good as in Portugal. Obrigada!

C'est devenu très ordinaire cet endroit. Trop cher pour ce qui est offert. & l'ambiance était morte quand j'y suis allée pour le lunch.

One of the oldest coffeeshops of Montreal. Same decor & same menu. Same average service by the employees. I don't know, if it's hard for the employees to be little warm towards their guests. Otherwise, their coffees are first class. Over the time, the prices have risen. I have been coming here for the last 15 years , so the only evolution I saw is in the prices. I recommend the cafe au lait or cappuccino. The texture is smooth & the taste is super delicious. Beside the service, I enjoy the rest of the experience.

Great little café with a gorgeous aesthetic. The espresso was fantastic & the food we got was delicious. We got eggs, toast & fruit with some vegetables. Surprisingly fair prices. This is a well run café.

Authentic Portuguese Euro-feeling bistro-cafe. Great for a business lunch. Small-ish & often bustling. The decor can't be beat: nice tiling, archways, marble counter, mediterranean frescos. Food is quality. The fresh grilled tuna burger is to die for, & the dessert parties are scrumptious.
