We were for breakfast. Disappointing. The place is cute but uncomfortable. I don't understand the hype about them. Mediocre at best. Not worth the lines and wait in the cold. The food was cold. Not special, not delicious. We spent 40 canadian per person including tip. I wish I went somewhere else.

Wow ,What a great place! The first time we came here, it was for coffee ☕, the second time was today for lunch. My love 💕 and I , are return customers. I believe it's places like Chez José Café that keep Montréal alive. If you think 🤔 about it. Please stop by here and enjoy something delicious 😋.

Very vegan friendly. They do have some meats on the menu as well. Besides the quality ingredients, and 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 and 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 and early 2000’s. The servers and 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 and salad. And I was in love with the simplicity, but complexity, of the churrasco chicken sandwich, the Psychedelic juice, and the dirty chai.
We walked away from the meal refreshed and full of peace and 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.

Don’t go on weekends. The space is small and it can take forever to get a table. It’s not worth the wait.

I eat out a lot, I also am not a vegetarian, I love meat. That being said the vegetarian lentil burrito at café José is arguably the best burrito in Montreal. It's so well constructed, it's so crunchy and soft. I come here all the time and eat this every time. Sometimes I sit at home and think about it and wish I was eating it. Their hot sauce really makes it mouth watering. I love this place. 10/10 a real Montreal staple.

Adorable little spot with lots of personality and charm. Very cozy! Feels like you’re having breakfast at your friends house. Excellent service by William: he’s quick, funny and knows how to help an indecisive customer. The food is amazing. I had the classic omelette with chorizo and 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 and will definitely come back :)

This is a amazing cute cafe with really good cozy interior and absolutely delicious food!! We loved everything we tried here and the service was good too, it was the simply the absolute best...♥️
Great place with exceptional service, vibe, and ambiance. The coffee was excellent, however, the food could be better seasoned. Highlight: toasted bread with butter.

We discovered this unique restaurant our last day visiting Montreal, which was a terrific overall experience and great way to end our stay. Our two meals (the Portuguese chicken sandwich, fresh squeezed orange juice, plus the asparagus, spinach, feta omelette, which included a green salad and Portuguese bread) were absolutely delicious and plen, the service friendly and quick, and we were totally engaged with the decor and atmosphere.

Adored this breakfast spot that my brother in law picked. Very welcoming and the servers were helpful and warm. Their pastel de natas were to die for. Highly recommend if you are in Montreal.
