J'aime beaucoup m'arrêter chez José. L'endroit est toujours agréable, autant en hiver qu'en été, & on y mange très bien. Une adresse où je reviens avec plaisir.

5 star food & experience. The orange soup, sandwiches, desserts & coffee are top shelf. Hope to be back here next time we're in Montreal.

My favourite brunch spot in Montreal! Food is excellent, I would strongly recommend the Mexican omelette or the breakfast sandwiches. Coffee & drinks are good. Above all else the interior is cozy, & comforting in a way that makes every meal enjoyable. Food is on the heavier side but all the more delicious for it.

The space is limited, so it can be difficult to get seating with larger groups. Additionally, the tables are located pretty close to each other so it can be a little tight if you have a lot of bags or other stuff.
