Dans l'ensemble, Chez José Café apparaît comme un endroit chaleureux, familial, avec une ambiance cosy et artistique et des plats portugais réconfortants et généreusement servis, comprenant des crêpes, des soupes, des pasteis de nata et des options végétariennes et véganes; l'atmosphère est souvent saluée comme accueillante et charmante, avec un service attentif et une impression familiale, bien que l'espace soit petit et que l'affluence puisse rallonger les temps d'attente et que le service puisse parfois être lent lors des périodes de forte affluence.
Nice cafe. Food is excellent, I highly recommend it. Coffee is good. Portions are very filling. The space is limited, but cozy. I will definitely be back.
I had such a great experience at Chez José Café. From the moment I walked in, the staff were super nice, welcoming, & genuinely friendly, which made the whole visit feel warm & relaxed.
I personally tried the egg tart with tea, & it was amazing, definitely a highlight & something I'd come back for. My friend also tried the salad & the matcha, & both were really good & well prepared.
What really stands out about this café is the atmosphere. The design is so unique, from the outside to the inside, you can tell a lot of thought went into every detail. It has a cozy & creative vibe that makes you want to stay longer.
Everything felt very clean & well maintained, which made the experience even more comfortable.
Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a special & cozy café in Montreal. I'll definitely be coming back!

Très belle découverte pour un brunch ! ☀?
Le service est impeccable, rapide & vraiment accueillant. La diversité du menu est excellente & on sent le petit côté portugais authentique qui rend l'endroit encore plus charmant.
J'ai eu la chance de croiser la propriétaire : super efficace, souriante & attentionnée avec les clients.
Une petite place conviviale que je recommande sans hésitation ! 👌🇵🇹
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.
Super cute place & incredible food! The owner was so nice, staff super friendly (thanks again for the lighter), & the decor is homey. Lots of vegetarian options too, highly recommend!
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.
My wife & I ate here on Thursday around 2ish or 3ish... Had the place to ourselves. The owner & staff are super nice respectful. They speak both English & French. We will definitely be going back to try more of there food. The place is family owned & operated. It could get tight if it's full. Regardless I recommend it to anyone looking for good vibes & fantastic food & service!

Delicious food with fantastic service. My partner is Celiac & they took her allergy very seriously, making sure there was zero cross contamination. I highly recommend
C'était très très bon,l'omelette était délicieuse & la décoration était superbe 👍 l'ambiance était satisfaisant mais le service était un peu trop long.Je ne peux que recommander ce brunch.
La nourriture est faite avec amour ! Elle a du goût !
Tous les sandwiches que j'ai essayés avaient une saveur délicieuse !
c'est presque toujours très plein, je recommande donc d'être patient avec le personnel, car ils sont vraiment très occupés.
Ils restent toujours aimables.
Quand nous avons commandé à emporter, le service a été rapide.
THE BEST PART IS WILL!!!!! Best server EVER!!! He is absolutely hilarious & caring & professional! This restaurant was recommended by a friend in NYC & we walked an hour to get here. Worth every step! The food was amazing, the drinks & atmosphere & vibe too!!! Highly recommend!!!!! Thank you
This place was one of the highlights of our visit to Montreal. The food & atmosphere were exquisite & Will was an incredible host who took great care of us the whole time. Highly recommend.
We went solely on the high reviews, knowing nothing of the menu/venue. First impressions was that place was rather small & the decor reminded us of seaside bars in the Caribbean or South America. I ordered the Portuguese Breakfast & my wife had the Mexican Crêpe. We were absolutely blown away by the food - it's truly fantastic & the servings were plentiful. We still managed to clean off our plates. We would absolutely recommend this restaurant & will definitely return to try other items. It's also worth noting that my meal was served with what I think was homemade chipotle sauce - whatever it was, it was dang good!
We came for brunch. The wait was not long at all. The food was delicious & the service was impeccable. The weekend seafood soup is a must try. Sarah, the owner, was so sweet & efficient. I highly recommend!
Not worth visiting past 9pm, they close before advertised hours. I come here regularly & Chez Jose is an amazing place with super cozy & homey ambiance which has an incredible amount of charm & character. Most of the time the staff & service is absolutely excellent & I recommend this spot as a must visit Montreal gem.
I did however visit this Monday for a coffee & was directly & coldly told I should leave at 9:30 (30 mins before closing time). Not that I should stop ordering at 9:30, but that I should leave. I get that the staff wanted to close early & go home after a long day but the way this was done made it feel wrong even being there (bear in mind I got there around 8:45, over an hour before closing). There were also still plenty of customers there. Quite a shame & a shock to get this very tense unwelcoming vibe in a place where it's usually the complete opposite.
I will continue coming here because like I said, it's a Montreal gem. Just won't be visiting later in the evening anymore.
The food melts in your mouth with every bite. The sandwiches are fresh & pleasing to bite down on. The staff is super friendly & makes sure you feel cozy in your seat.
The music throws you back to old Caribbean times. Even if you have never lived it. The area in which this place is located is friendly to walk about. You can tell by the worn out murals & colorful pastels on every wall that this Avenue has a rich history that remains unknown to outsiders. Nevertheless, you feel right at home. These elements combined will give you a lovely morning to remember. I definitely recommend this place. I would visit again if I lived in Montreal . Ingredients are locally sourced as well, It's good to support local businesses by default. I'd say more. But I don't want to leave an essay. Easy 10/10 place.
