Great brunch spot! Friendly staff & just what I fancied, a lovely veggie omelette with spinach, courgette, & feta, with salad. Simple old school. I liked it.View more

Came for brunch on a Saturday. Waited +40 minutes for a table, which was understandable given that it was a busy weekend. What wasn't okay was that the waitstaff forgot about us. By the time we got our drinks, the table who was seated next to us (they had come in & ordered at the same time as us) was already finishing up their meal. Our food came out luke warm, & they got one of our orders wrong. We told the waiter this & they said they would check. But they never came back to follow up. The brunch rush had cleared out by this point, so we were pretty frustrated with the service still being slow. Just wanting to leave at this point, we had to flag down a waiter to ask for the bill, waited 15min for them just to come back & ask if we wanted to order anything else. Overall disappointing. The food would have been amazing if it was hot. But to pay +70$ for a smoothie a coffee & 2 cold meals was not worth it.View more

I love this place 🥰 we stopped by for brunch, i just had a drink & the pastei, which is to die for!! I think my friends each got the portugese breakfast plate, i tried it & i wished i was hungry enough to eat more but i wasnt that day.
i brought their pasteis with me on the plane for my flight the next morning, & shared them that weekend with my family. I airfried them for 5 mins at 350 & they were just as delicious as i remembered them in montreal :) i will definitely come back here next time im in town 🥰View more

Le meilleur brunch que j'ai jamais mangé… Le déjeuner portugais. C'était excellent 👌👌View more

Really cool vibe & cute decor. Great coffee & food. I ordered the Mexican crepe & flavour wise it was delicious but it was far too salty for me that I struggled to finish it. The Portuguese breakfast that my friend got was also good but nothing spectacular. On the weekend there was a short wait for late morning brunch but that was expected so no complaints. Overall it was quite expensive for a casual brunch. Their pastel de natas are to die for tho!View more

Went for brunch on a Saturday & had to wait a bit to be seated but it was worth it! The ambiance is very fun with a lot of humorous unserious decorations, the food was delicious & well served. I highly recommend the "Yé ou Burt" omelette, which comes with cheese, chouriço, potatoes & mushrooms. It was divine & the portion was very big.View more

Ce petit restaurant portugais de brunch, situé sur le Plateau, est une véritable pépite. L'ambiance y est immersive & chaleureuse, la décoration originale, & les plats proposés se démarquent par leur qualité & leur singularité, avec des recettes qu'on ne retrouve pas souvent à Montréal. Les smoothies sont délicieux, les sandwichs également, & l'accueil était tout simplement parfait. Le service, irréprochable, a ajouté à l'expérience. Je mets rarement des notes de 5/5, mais ici, je n'ai rien trouvé à redire. Un endroit charmant où se mêlent bonne nourriture & service attentionné. Que demander de plus ?View more

I had a wonderful experience at Chez Jose Cafe! The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, & fresh, delicious food made it a perfect spot to unwind. Their menu offers a great variety of options, including vegetarian & healthy choices, which was exactly what I was looking for. The coffee was also on point, rich & flavorful. Plus, the service was fast despite it being a busy time. Overall, Chez Jose is a gem! Whether you're looking for a quick bite, a relaxed brunch, or just a good cup of coffee, this place won't disappoint.View more

You must come here! 40-minute wait for a table, at Sat brunch peak hour, was super worthwhile. Friendly service, scrumptious food & fresh, natural fruit&veggie juice. I'll make it a point to come back when next in this belle ville.View more

I went to for brunch for the first time in this café. It was nicely set up & there was even the option to sit outside. I had the Portuguese breakfast plate with salad & Portuguese toast & a hot chocolate. All the food was extremely good, but the only thing I was not satisfied with was that the sliced sausages were too salty for me. Other than that it is a nice cafe where they have a lot of variety in food for a decent price.View more

This fun eclectic cafe is perfect for brunch & located in a great walkable area! The staff are so polite & the dishes are so good! I had been on the search for pasteis de nata that would taste as good as the ones I had on a trip to Portugal - these are by far some of the BEST! The Portuguese breakfast plate was tasty & the chicken sandwich was so savory!View more

Amazing food & service - only downside was the wait time but thats not something they can control! It was really busy too so we waited like 45 minutes to get seated in the blistering heat. But again, not their fault they have a line-up! Good for them. Defs recommend this cute brunch spot.View more

I had been looking for a breakfast/brunch place that servers something different & unique than regular brunch places which all serve mostly variation of the same thing- just eggs, crepes/waffles/or toasts. The portugese breakfast here was delicious. There are plenty of vegan options as well. The vibe was cool, staff were super friendly & the the menu was aptly priced. Will return for sure.View more
