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.

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!

Excellent spot for lunch in Montreal. The salad & soup accompanying the sandwiches are fantastic, & the cakes are epic. Definitely drop in here if you are in Montreal.
