Review Summary

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.

C'est plus un resto qu'un café à emporter. Le pastel de nata était bon !

A lovely Portuguese-inspired brunch place. We had the Portuguese-style eggs, came with potatoes, salad, roasted veg & great bread. We also had the vegetarian crepes with feta - extremely nice rich sauce with some well-cooked veggie filling. The pastel de nata egg tart was the cherry on top - great place!

Extremely good brunch: food was excellent, flavourful, good interpretation of classics with nice variation. Atmosphere is very cute & quirky where the decor makes the small space feel cozy. Server was very attentive & helpful, accommodating us when dealing with our toddler. Very strong recommendation!

A beautiful experience the moment you sit down. Awesome hole in the wall- family owned cafe. We went for breakfast (Mexican omelet) & the coffee was great.

Artsy & whimsical.
Great service. Love the bohemian vibe!

Serving water in recycled liquor bottles kinda tripped me a bit, just don't know how clean they can get.

Chorizo sandwich was fresh & tasted good. Sweet crepe done nicely.

Definitely recommend getting yourself on the waitlist in advance to avoid having to linger around for a table.
