Les avis convergent autour d’une expérience chaleureuse chez Chez José Café: un endroit petit mais plein de caractère, avec une déco colorée et une atmosphère cosy qui donne l’impression d’être comme chez des amis et d’être vite à l’aise. La nourriture est largement décrite comme délicieuse et généreuse, allant de la soupe orange et des soupes de mer à des plats portugais, crepes et sandwiches, pastel de nata et options végétariennes et véganes très appréciées, les portions étant souvent copieuses et les saveurs authentiques, avec des mentions spéciales pour les oeufs et les crepes, le poulet churrasco et les plats de fruits de mer. Le service est généralement décrit comme attentif, sympathique et accueillant, même si certains trouvent l’endroit un peu petit ou que le service peut être lent lors des périodes d’affluence; l’ambiance, le rapport qualité-prix et l’envie de revenir sont des points forts récurrents, tout comme le charme boheme et l’impression de voyager vers le Portugal ou les Caraïbes.
Came for brunch on a Saturday. Waited +40 minutes for a table, which was understandable given that it was a busy weekend. What wasn't okay was that the waitstaff forgot about us. By the time we got our drinks, the table who was seated next to us (they had come in & ordered at the same time as us) was already finishing up their meal. Our food came out luke warm, & they got one of our orders wrong. We told the waiter this & they said they would check. But they never came back to follow up. The brunch rush had cleared out by this point, so we were pretty frustrated with the service still being slow. Just wanting to leave at this point, we had to flag down a waiter to ask for the bill, waited 15min for them just to come back & ask if we wanted to order anything else. Overall disappointing. The food would have been amazing if it was hot. But to pay +70$ for a smoothie a coffee & 2 cold meals was not worth it.
I love this place 🥰 we stopped by for brunch, i just had a drink & the pastei, which is to die for!! I think my friends each got the portugese breakfast plate, i tried it & i wished i was hungry enough to eat more but i wasnt that day.
i brought their pasteis with me on the plane for my flight the next morning, & shared them that weekend with my family. I airfried them for 5 mins at 350 & they were just as delicious as i remembered them in montreal :) i will definitely come back here next time im in town 🥰
I feel as though this place is a bit of a hit or miss. My first experience was a little underwhelming, as we paid a lot for a meager sandwich & lackluster breakfast plate.
But I decided to give it another chance for dinner a year later & was blown away with how good the food was! The crepe meals were MASSIVE & delicious. Big plus for the atmosphere, their decor is cute & the patio is lovely in the summer to eat outside.
I knock one star though because the prices are very high for it being a casual restaurant, & we did wait over 40min to receive our food, but the waitstaff was very apologetic & nice about that. The food is also quite greasy.
Finally got to get their chicken sandwich! & they have
gluten free option!!! It was really to die for! loved all the flavours I have been marinating in!

Superbes assiettes, une sélection portugaise réconfortante & un service chaleureux à souhait! Un vrai bonheur ce resto de quartier; j'ai hâte d'y emmener mes amis!
I truly enjoyed my experience here. Had a small bite late in the afternoon & was craving for some sweet treat. I had their pastel de nata & a cup of latte, which were s great pairing.
I find the place very artsy & cozy, & the staff is very friendly. Overall, it's a wonderful place to be.
