I had a wonderful experience at Chez Jose Cafe! The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, & fresh, delicious food made it a perfect spot to unwind. Their menu offers a great variety of options, including vegetarian & healthy choices, which was exactly what I was looking for. The coffee was also on point, rich & flavorful. Plus, the service was fast despite it being a busy time. Overall, Chez Jose is a gem! Whether you're looking for a quick bite, a relaxed brunch, or just a good cup of coffee, this place won't disappoint.

You must come here! 40-minute wait for a table, at Sat brunch peak hour, was super worthwhile. Friendly service, scrumptious food & fresh, natural fruit&veggie juice. I'll make it a point to come back when next in this belle ville.

Went here for dinner on a Thursday night. Genuinely one of the best meals ive had in montreal. Highly recommend the quesadilla. The mexican crepes came recommended from the waiter- my friend got this & loved it. At this time of the day they also have a cocktail & wine list.

Overall: Cozy cafe with lots of vegetarian & vegan options. Pros: The food & drinks we ordered tasted great (went for breakfast)! Eclectic decorations make this a cozy & unique cafe. Cons: 1) Wi-Fi information wasn't visible. Waitress provided me with the information upon asking, it was handwritten on a piece of paper, the information was hard to read & I couldn't connect to the internet. 2) No kids menu though the waitress had suggestions.

Découvert par hasard, super acceuil souriant, bon service, bons plats cuisine méditerranéenne. Prix normaux. L'accent québécois avec une pointe de portugais vaux le déplacement. Je recommande chaudement.

Been going here for brunch many years. The staff had always been exceptional & the homemade hot sauce is the best. Honestly the best place in the plateau for brunch. The Portuguese cuisine is amazing.
