Nice local spot. Natas aren’t made in-house but brought over from Lisbon. Probably not the best In Montreal but certainly don’t disapoint.Very friendly staff. Stop by and give it a try!

The wait was insane. They told us it was a 15 min-wait o be seated on the terrasse, but after 20 min waiting they placed us inside…Then we had to wait literally 45 min for an omelet and a sandwich.The place itself, the decoration, the plants and the terrasse are really cute tho.Perfect for a brunch on a sunny day

My new favourite brunch place in the Plateau area! We went as soon as they opened, so we were able to get the window seats. (PS: I believe the kitchen only opens half an hour after the store does.)We got pasteis de nata to start off. I don’t have pictures as a result of us loving it so much. Freshly baked and so good! I got the seafoud soup, while my boyfriend got the chorizo breakfast. The serving was generous & the food was very tasty!I also heard everything is homemade & they source out their ingredients from local stores, so this is a big plus as we like to look for healthier alternatives when we go out.We were so pleased we got some alfajores to-go & we’re amazed all over again.Thank you, we’ll be back for sure!

One the best breakfast places to try if you are around Montréal area. It does offer some traditional Mexican and portugese dishes. The food was cooked up to order and it has such a delicious flavor. I am definitely going back to try other dishes

Cute, warm and cozy spot with a ton of character and charm. The vegan breakfast was incredibly delicious and left me feeling full for the remainder of the day... super healthy and satisfying! Also, loved the Vampire smoothie and cafe au lait. Huge portions!

One of the best experiences that I’ve had. Pros: Good - food, service, ambiance, menu options. Cons: is small, don’t fot a big group of ppl. Robert the waiter is super friendly and helped me to pick my order since the whole menu is what you feel like having. Delightful overall experience I rightly suggest it.

Excellent Portuguese breakfast, loved the quality and taste of food. Very warm staff and very helpful. Would absolutely recommend this place.

Probably one of my favourite place so far for breakfast right now. It felt like a home made meal. Would visit again. Loved the atmosphere of the place too. Quick no nonsense place made it a 5 star.

Cute, eclectic and cozy restaurant with a limited menu but super delicious food. We had brunch here and it was tasty! Can't go wrong with chorizo and eggs! Love the photos around the cafe!

A spot for the locals who want delicious, no frills brunch in a spot that is small but big in personality. Restaurant is small but not in an intimate, cutesy vs crowded kinda way. Sometimes feels a bit like being in someone’s kitchen with the espresso machine roaring and the cute collection of coffee mugsThe déjunger portugais is flavourful and perfect in portioning with a mix of fried eggs, chorizo hash, salad, and buttery toast. Add a moka and egg tart on the side for a sweet pairing ?
