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 beautiful experience the moment you sit down. Awesome hole in the wall- family owned cafe. We went for breakfast (Mexican omelet) & the coffee was great.

The atmosphere is nice, though it lacks a cohesive aesthetic.
The coffee was okay, not particularly strong, so it didn't hit me as well as I'd hoped.
However, the food was really good & reasonably priced… it's Duluth Avenue at the end of the day, so we had to put our names on a waitlist.
We waited 20 minutes & then almost an hour for our food. Knowing there would be wait time, I wouldn't do it again, but if there wasn't, I might.
The menu isn't very diverse, though.

Food is amazing, atmosphere is stunning well worth the trip here. Can't tell if one of the servers is new or just bad. She forgot our coffee order, took her time taking our order & almost charged the wrong bill to our table. Shoutout to the barista for remembering the coffee.

5 star food & experience. The orange soup, sandwiches, desserts & coffee are top shelf. Hope to be back here next time we're in Montreal.

My favourite brunch spot in Montreal! Food is excellent, I would strongly recommend the Mexican omelette or the breakfast sandwiches. Coffee & drinks are good. Above all else the interior is cozy, & comforting in a way that makes every meal enjoyable. Food is on the heavier side but all the more delicious for it.

The space is limited, so it can be difficult to get seating with larger groups. Additionally, the tables are located pretty close to each other so it can be a little tight if you have a lot of bags or other stuff.
