Great atmosphere we ate outside on the terrace. A little hard to go up with the kids but plenty of space while we were there. Had a hot chocolate & chocolate croissant. It was both very tasty & we would go again.

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 �

Food is very good. However,the place is small & there aren't enough tables at lunch time. Customer service could be better. Not very friendly.

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