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.
