Review Cafe Vasco Da Gama - Montreal

You would get a bit European/ French vibe in this cafe. Tried their pastries and all were okay, not something super. Staff are friendly and price of their food/ drinks are relatively expensive considering the portion and quality of the beans they use for their coffees.

Wonderful Pastel de Belém! It's difficult to find this sweet treat in Canada but thanks God we found this place without even think about it. The chocolates were good too. It was a quick stop because my husband and me were doing city tour so unfortunately we could not try other dishes but maybe next time when we can visit Montreal again.

I was looking for a good coffee in Montreal, and I found this gem on Peel Str. in Old Montreal. You can’t go wrong with a busy place. Croissants here are one if the best I have ever had!! They have as well fresh warm Natas, one of the best! They serve illy coffee here which is excellent and other dishes. I had a salmon bagel, as well tried the Vasco de Gama omelette which served with two slices of baguette bread and assorted fruits. Outstanding and hospitable service. Would definitely come back again whenever I visit Montreal to have an excellent coffee with a tasty bite in a warm ambience.

What a great experience! Their whole team is so kind & polite, food was delicious, and they have a great outdoor dining space. We were a party of 4, and we all loved the food. The Vasco da Gama omelette was delicious, with true Portuguese chouriço and Sao Jorge cheese. The cafe au lait (latte) was great too. I felt like I was having breakfast in Lisbon. 🇵🇹 I’ll definitely visit every time I come back to Montreal.

Great little cafe conveniently located in the heart of downtown that serves delicious sandwiches and salads. The smoked salmon and the duck and fig sandwiches were really yummy! The patio seating is nice. Staff are always friendly and helpful even if they are busy.

Very tasty brunch and coffee with a pleasant terrace for sitting. Should try at least once

Delicious coffee, The breakfast was very 👍 👍 👍 👍 good I like the atmosphere of the cafe.

Very cute cafe in Downtown with European vibe. Staff is very gentle, pastries selection is good, coffee taste is higher than MTL standard. Prices are a bit excessive. Place is quite noisy.

Jorge and staff provide the best spot in the area to get a fantastique cappuccino and your choice of croissant, fresh fruit, or a tapas style snack and glass of wine later in the day. This was our go to spot!

I do not recommend this place ever ever ever! Worst service ever coming from a manager. The owner/ manager Jorge is very rude- I am shocked by the way he talked to us. A very disrespectful man, who sadly lacks a lot of professionalism towards his clients. A perfect example of a manager that clearly does not get the fact that customer service is EVERYTHING, especially in a big city like Montreal. With so many little cafés around the block, giving people such a bad service will not make you gain new clients nor keep your old ones. Reputation is everything- and today, this café gained a very bad one on our part. Here is what happened. I was there with a friend- we had a very nice waitress who took our order. We needed to plug our computer, but there was no power supply next to us. The waitress offered us to kindly move to the back of the restaurant so that she can plug my computer behind the counter. By doing so, it left the computer cord hanging on the floor. A few minutes later, the manager (Jorge)- who was there with 2 of his friends- came to me. He had a very arrogant attitude. He unplugged my computer and started yelling, saying that this was very dangerous. I did not plug the computer, as the power supply was behind the counter (inaccessible to customers). As I was trying to explain myself, the situation escalated. He did not take the time to listen and just left me there. His attitude was very rude and disrespectful. After speaking with his employee, he realized that it was her and not me who plugged the computer. However, he never presented his excuses until I asked him to. WE WERE MORE THAN SHOCKED! It got even worst: his friends started to say very disrespectful things. Jorge never stepped in to calm the situation and he maintained his arrogant attitude. The only response was: if you are not happy, just leave. Despite his mistake, he never sincerely apologized nor tried to fix the situation like a manager/ owner would. Despite the excellent location and a very nice waitress, I do not recommend this place. I would have expected more professionalism and respect coming from an owner. There are so many great cafés out there with experienced and professional owners that will be more than happy to have you as a customer. There is nothing unique here, except an arrogant, disrespectful manager who has a long way to go Please do not waste your money out there.

La nourriture est excellente! Le personnel donne un très bon service! L'ambiance est agréable et l'endroit est magnifique! C'est toujours plaisant de se retrouver au Vasco! ;)

What a fun inviting place. Very charming with delicious food. And the staff were most welcoming! I'll be going again next time I'm in Montreal for business.

Five stars for just the cool name alone lol �. Service food and place all awesome . Bacon needs to be extra crispy please .

Savoureux, agréable et rapide! C'est ce qu'on attend d'un café/ bistro!

Best European coffee downtown - great food - have the lamb sandwich or great salads - take a box lunch to go

My second time here was yesterday. Discovered the cafe on a previous visit to MTL. Good service, delicious food, great location. Though we were among the last customers late on a Sunday afternoon, no one hurried us out, even as all 4 in our party went to the restroom. They would have STARED DAGGERS at us in my home of NYC. Obrigada!

Me fascina ese café y cada vez que voy a Montreal, sin duda paso a este lugar. Saludos desde México.

Nice cozy ambiance and excellent food.. looking forward to having one of the savory brunch combos

Fantastic Coffee and then went for lunch later at their restaurant Ferreira Cafe! Amazing as well!!

Great spot for breakfast and lunch. The service is very nice. Well located!

The ambiance is great and the staff super friendly ! Coffee and desserts excellent!

Thank you Jorge and great staff of Vasco Da Gama for for getting our mornings started right with your great breakfasts and the best coffee in Montreal!

Great food. Lively atmosphere. Perfect downtown location.
