Review Summary

Chez José Café is widely regarded as a charming Montreal staple, celebrated for its authentic, flavorful Portuguese-inspired cuisine and cozy, vibrant atmosphere. Many visitors praise the generous portions and high-quality ingredients found in popular dishes like the seafood soup, Portuguese breakfast, and delicious crepes, while the pastel de nata is frequently noted as an absolute must-try. The café offers a warm, welcoming environment that feels like a home away from home, complemented by a friendly and attentive staff. Although the popular location can result in wait times on weekends and limited indoor space, the overall experience is consistently described as a delightful and memorable highlight for both locals and travelers exploring the neighborhood.

A lovely Portuguese-inspired brunch place. We had the Portuguese-style eggs, came with potatoes, salad, roasted veg & great bread. We also had the vegetarian crepes with feta - extremely nice rich sauce with some well-cooked veggie filling. The pastel de nata egg tart was the cherry on top - great place!

Extremely good brunch: food was excellent, flavourful, good interpretation of classics with nice variation. Atmosphere is very cute & quirky where the decor makes the small space feel cozy. Server was very attentive & helpful, accommodating us when dealing with our toddler. Very strong recommendation!

Funky little place that is perpetually busy for a reason. Their crepes are top-notch, good house-made hot sauce, excellent drink options (red sangria with peach nectar, hello), & the pastel de natas are among the best in little Portugal! Generally try to get here at least once for brunch whenever we're in the city.

Super nice cafe, with great food & amazing service. Hard to pick from the menu but I'd be down to come back & try multiple things. I got the Portuguese platter & my friends go the breakfast sandwiches. Gorgeous interior, & our server was the best. Be ready to wait on the weekend as with any brunch spot, just make sure to add your name on the waitlist before arriving. :)
