Very lovely little café, the decor is impeccable! The menu is only in French but they have wonderful bilingual service. We got sandwiches, the Greek salad, a cookie, & some iced drinks - the only complaint I can think of is that the drinks are quite watery, but the food was very good & more than made up for it. Overall a good café choice if you are looking for one.

The Latte is a favourite of mine & I have it each time I'm in Montreal. The food & baked goods are fantastic as well. The seating area is small but manageable.

What a hidden gem in downtown! It's a great place to eat or drink something, at whatever time of the day. The restaurant indeed has a portuguese / european vibe, & the variety of dishes is great.

The food was tasty & fresh. The drinks were ok. Also the service was kind & super quick.

Don't miss the opportunity to try this restaurant!

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!

Un petit coin de Portugal a Montréal. Nous avons découvert cet endroit en février 2024. Nous avons pris un succulent petit déjeuner. Le personnel est vraiment très gentil. Je vous recommande d y aller presque les yeux fermés
