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.

Meilleur brunch en ville. La bouffe est complètement démente & absolument délicieuse & les portions sont très généreuses. Service impeccable & chaleureux, prix raisonnables. Bref, je ne vois pas la pertinence d'aller bruncher ailleurs. Seul petit hic: l'endroit peut être un peu bruyant car très populaire & plutôt exigüe. Mais c'est pas une raison pour s'en priver!

Accueil extraordinairement sympathique qui a fait oublier le temps d'attente (salle pleine), repas vegan absolument divin (qui explique... la salle pleine !). Soupe Guantánamo, burritos au tofu, végé-pâté en sandwich au pain portugais, vin rouge, smoothy au lait d'avoine etc. TOUT ÉTAIT EXQUIS !

Adorable little spot with lots of personality & charm. Very cozy! Feels like you're having breakfast at your friends house. Excellent service by William: he's quick, funny & knows how to help an indecisive customer. The food is amazing. I had the classic omelette with chorizo & it's probably the best omelette I've ever had.
There was a bit of waiting time, but they're very organized by using Yelp Waitlist.

Great experience overall & will definitely come back :)

Great place with exceptional service, vibe, & ambiance. The coffee was excellent, however, the food could be better seasoned. Highlight: toasted bread with butter.

We discovered this unique restaurant our last day visiting Montreal, which was a terrific overall experience & great way to end our stay. Our two meals (the Portuguese chicken sandwich, fresh squeezed orange juice, plus the asparagus, spinach, feta omelette, which included a green salad & Portuguese bread) were absolutely delicious & plen, the service friendly & quick, & we were totally engaged with the decor & atmosphere.
