Chez José Café comes across in reviews as a small, cozy, colorful neighborhood spot on Duluth where a warm, family run vibe and lively atmosphere make guests feel instantly at home. The menu blends brunch favourites with Portuguese specialties, delivering pastéis de nata praised as among the best, hearty Portuguese breakfasts and chouriço dishes, tasty crepes, and a seafood soup that many describe as outstanding, with vegan and vegetarian options noted as well. Guests repeatedly highlight the friendly, attentive service and the welcoming vibe, while acknowledging that the space is compact and can get crowded, with occasional waits or slower service during busy weekends and a few hiccups like dishes arriving a touch cold or heavy on salt for some. Prices are often described as reasonable for the quality but a bit higher than casual spots, and the overall sentiment remains that the atmosphere, decor, and consistent quality create a memorable Montreal brunch and lunch destination worth returning to for drinks, pastries, and more.
Génial, excellent, exceptionnel, 6 étoiles!!! La petite salade est un oeuvre d art. La crêpe 🥞🥞🥞 pas de mots pour décrire la meilleure oeuvre d art de Montréal.

On adore Chez José pour la super bonne bouffe portugaise végétarienne ou pas. Super restaurant de quartier où les gens sont sympathiques. Merci à Will pour le magnifique service généreux & très chaleureux.
First off, the outdoor seating is so pleasant & so was the staff. The breakfast sandwich was super packed & flavorful, & the potatoes were cooked to perfection. Our favorite was the Mexican crepe, which was also super flavorful & had nice crispy edges. What made it really stand out was its masterful pairing with their homemade guac & slaw. Well done -what a charming little gem.

Thus cute little Cafe was the best spot we found in Montreal. The staff were extremely polite & cooperative. They suggested some really good dishes & the taste was top notch. I had one of the delicious chicken sandwich here. My friends got other dishes & they were satisfied too. Will definitely come back again when in Montreal
Cute spot, Nice terrasse. Terrasse was only being set up around 10:15 even though they open at 9 & had a lineup. Even once it was set up it took a while to be seated even though there was space. Our server with the pigtails was fantastic though. Very efficient. Food was alright. Portuguese breakfast platter was nothing special. My friend felt the same about her chorizo omelette. Mochaccino was nice. They didn't skimp on the mimosa.
Wow~the food was fantastic!!!! If you come to Montreal, you should definitely go here. The Mexican crepe was amazing, & the soup was fantastic. Everything was delicious here! & waiter Will's service was generous, & my family was so happy. I highly recommend you to visit here if you want a delicious meal & nice ambience.👍
C'est la première fois que me rendais sur Duluth, le café des chats comme destination. Mais, après avoir parlé de Chez José à une connaissance, elle m'a dit, "vas-y pour essayer leur sandwich épicé, tu vas adooooré"! Bon, si j'ai bien compris, je devrais retourner sur Duluth, sans attendre 50ans cette fois! La réputation de votre resto dépasse la frontière de l'île!
