Legitimately a 10/10 meal . Fresh orange juice, delicious natas, great coffee, incredible breakfast eggs A staple of the plateau!
Quite literally the most amazing food I have had in a while. Very cheap, very friendly staff shoutout my boy Pablo. Not to mention all the staff are incredibly sty. If u need outfit advice and the best food go here. Sidenote: I litterally saw the staff almost prevent a car accident and save a child and then return to work 1.3 seconds later. These people are as goated as the food
Just walking by this place, customers on the terrasse started pointing and laughing at me, because I am "too old to live here or even walk outside" this is all about the "young adults" so basically anyone is considered content so expect to be filmed and laughed at.
Cozy Portuguese diner in a rustically decorated space. Food is flavourful and filling.
The restaurant had a really nice ambiance, and we didn’t wait too long for a table. The food was tasty, but unfortunately, the service was disappointing. Our server was kind, but she forgot to place our order, and we waited about 40 minutes before reminding her. After that, it took another 15 minutes for the food to arrive. She also mentioned she would replace a piece of bread that was dropped, but it never came. We were offered a glass of orange juice as compensation, which was appreciated. Overall, I liked the ambiance and food, but I probably wouldn’t come back because of the service experience.
Super nice cafe, with great food and amazing service. Hard to pick from the menu but I’d be down to come back and try multiple things. I got the Portuguese platter and my friends go the breakfast sandwiches. Gorgeous interior, and 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, and service is fast. We had the Portuguese breakfast comes with potatoes, chorizo, peppers, tomato, salad, and bread, so good. It’s a bit tight inside (you’ll be sitting close to others) and seating is limited, so expect a line depending on the time.
I loved this tiny place. I arrived early and got a table easily.
This cafe was brilliant we had the Mexican crepe and the chocolate crepe which were absolutely a blast the salad that they gave for the price of the meal was a excellent deal and definitely worth it. The atmosphere was small but the rustic and detailed interior made up for it. The service and staff were so kind and amazing they helped us make amazing vegetarian and non vegetarian choices and helped to change the meat to a vegetarian option, my son had an amazing time and the waiter was so nice to him and it was a blast. Honestly this has to be a five star cafe.
I love this place ❤️
The food and service is great!
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.
Best breakfast ive ever had - get the Portuguese breakfast plate
That seafood soup is the chefs kiss. Insanely good.
I had such a great experience at Chez José Café. From the moment I walked in, the staff were super nice, welcoming, and genuinely friendly, which made the whole visit feel warm and relaxed. I personally tried the egg tart with tea, and it was amazing, definitely a highlight and something I’d come back for. My friend also tried the salad and the matcha, and both were really good and 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 and creative vibe that makes you want to stay longer. Everything felt very clean and well maintained, which made the experience even more comfortable. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a special and cozy café in Montreal. I’ll definitely be coming back! THIS IS ALI NOOR & THIS IS MY REVIEW
Chez Jose nails it every single time. Every visit is as good as the first (if not better). Fresh and delicious! This is easily one of my favorite gems in the Plateau!
A really cute spot to grab some brunch, lunch, or drinks with friends. The Portuguese breakfast was hearty and delicious and 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 and incredible food! The owner was so nice, staff super friendly (thanks again for the lighter), and the decor is homey. Lots of vegetarian options too, highly recommend!
The food was awesome and what stood out for me was the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our group. Thank you to Sarah and Victoria!
Very good Mexican style omelette!
My favourite brunch spot in Montreal! Food is excellent, I would strongly recommend the Mexican omelette or the breakfast sandwiches. Coffee and drinks are good. Above all else the interior is cozy, and 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.
5 star food and experience. The orange soup, sandwiches, desserts and coffee are top shelf. Hope to be back here next time we're in Montreal.
Outstanding on all fronts. Best egg tart I have ever eaten.
A very comfortable atmosphere — not very big, but thoughtfully designed with lots of character. The food is delicious as well. I would definitely come back again. 😊
Delicious, authentic food with a cozy, charming atmosphere. The service is friendly and inviting. Whether you're looking for a good meal or just a cup of coffee and a pastel de nata Chez José Café will not disappoint!
