We had a great mid-afternoon hang at Chez José. They were gracious to accommodate our large party of 6, but it is a very small place & we felt bad. They assured us all was well & treated very kindly with loving vibes. The food was excellent. Crepes, Portuguese stew, full Portuguese breakfast, pastel de nata (as good or better than Lisbon's ...). All excellent! Highly recommend!View more

I truly enjoyed my experience here. Had a small bite late in the afternoon & was craving for some sweet treat. I had their pastel de nata & a cup of latte, which were s great pairing.
I find the place very artsy & cozy, & the staff is very friendly. Overall, it's a wonderful place to be.View more

We loved this cafe. We had a wonderful breakfast: espresso, omelet sandwiches, & delicious pasteis de natas (just like Lisbon). Service was excellent. Really love the warm colors & eclectic vibe. Can't wait to return.View more

I was greeted really warmly as soon as I entered, which matched the homey vibe of the cafe. I only got the pasteis de nata, which they warm up on the spot for you, even for takeout! I appreciate them serving things in their best state 🥹 & the extra effort paid off. Their pasteis de nata is one that'll come to mind when I reminisce about great desserts I've had. The crust was unbelievably flaky & crispy, & the custard was super silky & had such great flavor, it was like flan. Get it with cinnamon on top!View more

I love when I go out to try smt different & this is absolutely one of those dishes where its a twist on smt I eat all the time. Only reason for the 4 stars was the price which I find a bit high for the meal (21$). I personally would have loved it more at 18$ but i guess that's just inflation. Pastels de nata were excellent, best ive had in montreal & better than your average one in portugal. Decor is a perfect 10/10. Such a vibe i love it.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

Victoria & Sophia, ont été exceptionnelles. Je n'étais jamais allée au Portugal, plus besoin j'ai découvert la chose la meilleure du monde: Les natas de chez José. Pour vrai, chez José -> un incontournable ❤️❤️View more

We went to this place because Duluth has been pedestrianized for the summer & sitting at a terrace enables us to go out to eat with our dog. We chose Chez Jose at random & it was a good choice. I usually don't care for calamari as I find it too tough, but in their seafood soup it was perfect. My wife had a crepe with turkey, cream sauce & blue cheese that was delicious. I had a warm nata for dessert & we both had Portuguese coffees. & our waitress was excellent, really on the ball.View more

It's been a while since I sat down for a coffee & pastry. I hiked Mont Royal Parc & went down to Cafe Chez Jose. I ordered the Pastel de Nata - Famous Portuguese Custard Tarts & a cappuccino. The girl suggested that I have them heated. Wow. With cinnamon, it's five stars, I tell you. Coupled with their delicious cappuccino, I was very happy.View more

Restaurant conseillé par des connaissances rencontrés lors d'un trip, comme quoi c'était l'un des lieux incontournables de Montréal & effectivement, pas du tout déçue. Quesadilla, juste excellente & je ne parle pas des Natas.. un délice, les meilleurs que j'ai pu goûter! Merci 🤗View more

Love this little place, it came highly recommended for breakfast & since I was alone, I was able to jump the line & get right in! The coffee was AMAZING & the meal was delicious, there were fresh nata's behind me too. Gem of a place.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

Endroit parfait pour un petit brunch pour dimanche après-midi. La serveuse & les cuisiniers étaient tous d'une gentillesse exceptionnelle. Le matcha est excellent je conseille , ps: finir avec un natas à la fin 🌞 Option vegan parfaite!!View more

Food was great, we waited 55 minutes for a table for two on a Sunday, (outside,(winter, snowing) but that seems normal in the area) Food came out fast. Pastel de Nata is delicious, Alfajores are good! The waiting time was worth it.View more

I had to write this review the moment I left this restaurant. I am genuinely impressed by the quality of the food & the speed we got our plates. Not to mention that it was super tasty & delicious, but for a breakfast I had a strong meal, perfectly prepared & well balanced! Charle our waiter was very kind & friendly. The service is great with good recommendations. I was particularly pleased with the Natas & their coffee is really good! This is such a small restaurant but with big potential & even bigger heart! Absolutely recommend!View more
