Chez José Café est largement reconnu comme une institution montréalaise, appréciée pour son atmosphère chaleureuse et rustique ainsi que pour son décor vibrant et plein de caractère qui permet aux visiteurs de se sentir comme chez eux. Le menu reçoit constamment des éloges pour sa cuisine savoureuse d'inspiration portugaise, ses portions généreuses et ses incontournables comme les authentiques pastéis de nata, les copieux déjeuners et les crêpes salées. Bien que la grande majorité des clients souligne la gentillesse exceptionnelle, l'accueil chaleureux et l'attention du personnel qui se surpasse souvent pour offrir une expérience mémorable, quelques clients ont noté que le restaurant peut être assez bondé, entraînant parfois des temps d'attente ou des lenteurs occasionnelles dans le service pendant les heures de pointe. Malgré ces quelques irrégularités, le consensus général est que cet établissement offre une expérience culinaire unique et réconfortante qui incite les habitués comme les visiteurs à y revenir régulièrement.
Absolutely delightful. Atmosphere is great. Service was great & food was good. I opted for the portguese breakfast & we split pastel de nata (comes in 4) . The pastel de nata were mindblowingly good. Make sure you sprinkle some cinnamon.
Super nice cafe, with great food & amazing service. Hard to pick from the menu but I'd be down to come back & try multiple things. I got the Portuguese platter & my friends go the breakfast sandwiches. Gorgeous interior, & our server was the best. Be ready to wait on the weekend as with any brunch spot, just make sure to add your name on the waitlist before arriving. :)

Amazing spot, food was delicious, portions are generous, & service is fast. We had the Portuguese breakfast comes with potatoes, chorizo, peppers, tomato, salad, & bread, so good. It's a bit tight inside (you'll be sitting close to others) & seating is limited, so expect a line depending on the time.
A really cute spot to grab some brunch, lunch, or drinks with friends. The Portuguese breakfast was hearty & delicious & our server was very friendly. A great family business that you can tell has a lot of history as a cornerstone of the neighborhood. I certainly recommend that you come here if you are in the area.
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.
Very vegan friendly. They do have some meats on the menu as well. Besides the quality ingredients, & the delicious food, the service is so kind.
To our surprise, it is reservation only. It's a tight space, but somehow they make it work. The table turnovers are pretty quick. On a Sunday at noon we showed up with no reservation. But they explained how to scan & set up a reservation. 20 minutes later we were seated. Ten to 15 minutes later our meals were served.
That's not to mention the ambiance. Very laid back. Some might call it bohemian, but to me it just felt authentic. Classic RNB from the late 90's & early 2000's. The servers & hosts were so polite. They all speak English, of course. So don't be afraid to show up if you don't speak the local dialect.
My vegan friend was beyond happy with his tofu breakfast burrito. My non vegan friend was super happy with his omelette & salad. & I was in love with the simplicity, but complexity, of the churrasco chicken sandwich, the Psychedelic juice, & the dirty chai.
We walked away from the meal refreshed & full of peace & good vibes.
So yeah, come for the food. But don't forget to take in the quality of the environment.
Much love to everyone who contributed to our experience. Easy 5 stars. Well deserved.
Adorable little spot with lots of personality & charm. Very cozy! Feels like you're having breakfast at your friends house. Excellent service by William: he's quick, funny & knows how to help an indecisive customer. The food is amazing. I had the classic omelette with chorizo & it's probably the best omelette I've ever had.
There was a bit of waiting time, but they're very organized by using Yelp Waitlist.
Great experience overall & will definitely come back :)
