What reviews say

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.

Expérience très agréable! Le service est excellent & rapide, la musique & décoration te transportent vers un pays chaud. La nourriture est délicieuse, avec plusieurs opinions saines & végés. Je me suis senti chez ma grand-mère au Brésil. Bon rapport qualité-prix. Certainement, je reviendrai avec des amis.

Very vegan friendly. They do have some meats on the menu as well. Besides the quality ingredients, & the delicious food, the service is so kind.

To our surprise, it is reservation only. It's a tight space, but somehow they make it work. The table turnovers are pretty quick. On a Sunday at noon we showed up with no reservation. But they explained how to scan & set up a reservation. 20 minutes later we were seated. Ten to 15 minutes later our meals were served.

That's not to mention the ambiance. Very laid back. Some might call it bohemian, but to me it just felt authentic. Classic RNB from the late 90's & early 2000's. The servers & hosts were so polite. They all speak English, of course. So don't be afraid to show up if you don't speak the local dialect.

My vegan friend was beyond happy with his tofu breakfast burrito. My non vegan friend was super happy with his omelette & salad. & I was in love with the simplicity, but complexity, of the churrasco chicken sandwich, the Psychedelic juice, & the dirty chai.

We walked away from the meal refreshed & full of peace & good vibes.

So yeah, come for the food. But don't forget to take in the quality of the environment.

Much love to everyone who contributed to our experience. Easy 5 stars. Well deserved.

I eat out a lot, I also am not a vegetarian, I love meat. That being said the vegetarian lentil burrito at café José is arguably the best burrito in Montreal. It's so well constructed, it's so crunchy & soft. I come here all the time & eat this every time. Sometimes I sit at home & think about it & wish I was eating it. Their hot sauce really makes it mouth watering. I love this place. 10/10 a real Montreal staple.

La nourriture est faite avec amour ! Elle a du goût !
Tous les sandwiches que j'ai essayés avaient une saveur délicieuse !

c'est presque toujours très plein, je recommande donc d'être patient avec le personnel, car ils sont vraiment très occupés.
Ils restent toujours aimables.
Quand nous avons commandé à emporter, le service a été rapide.
