Had a great experience here. Food & service was great. Unfortunately too hot to sit inside but it looked super cool. Will revisit.

We went to this place because Duluth has been pedestrianized for the summer & sitting at a terrace enables us to go out to eat with our dog. We chose Chez Jose at random & it was a good choice. I usually don't care for calamari as I find it too tough, but in their seafood soup it was perfect. My wife had a crepe with turkey, cream sauce & blue cheese that was delicious. I had a warm nata for dessert & we both had Portuguese coffees. & our waitress was excellent, really on the ball.

It's been a while since I sat down for a coffee & pastry. I hiked Mont Royal Parc & went down to Cafe Chez Jose. I ordered the Pastel de Nata - Famous Portuguese Custard Tarts & a cappuccino. The girl suggested that I have them heated. Wow. With cinnamon, it's five stars, I tell you. Coupled with their delicious cappuccino, I was very happy.
