Review Summary

Reviews depict Chez José Café as a cozy, colorful, characterful neighborhood spot where the food is consistently delicious and the overall experience leaves a warm impression. Standout items frequently mentioned include pasteis de nata, seafood soup, the Portuguese breakfast, crepes, and a wide range of vegetarian and vegan options. The atmosphere is welcoming and vibrant, with attentive staff and a lively, bohemian vibe, though the space is small and can get busy, leading to occasional wait times. Service is praised for friendliness and care, even when the restaurant is crowded or there are small hiccups. Prices are noted as a bit high for a casual brunch, but portions are generous and flavors often justify the cost. The decor, music, and sense of place evoke Portugal or the Caribbean, contributing to a memorable, homey experience. Overall, Chez José Café is regarded as a Montreal gem, valued for its consistency, atmosphere, and thoughtful attention to food and guests, with many plans to return.

My wife, son, & I thoroughly enjoyed our brunch experience here. Opting for the Déjeuner Portugais, we were pleased with both the flavorful dishes & the diverse, healthy menu options. The cozy & warm ambiance, coupled with excellent service, made our visit even more delightful.

Great neighborhood cafe for Portuguese breakfast. Cozy atmosphere with familial flare & decor. it's a snug fit but good for chatting locals & tourists while you enjoy delicious food.

I got the Le Porto Végé & it had an even balance of egg, veg (zucchini, red pepper, onion), & potatoes. Had a good amount of spice that didn't overpower the dish.
