Cafe Vasco Da Gama

Superbe ambiance au temps pour les déjeuners que pour relaxer après une bonne journée de travaille. Les tapas son excellent et le vin est delicieux.

Charming and comfortable coffee place downtown! Excellent cappuccino and perfect for a light meal !

Great lunch spot when you’re looking for something a bit more fancy but still casual. They assign you seating and then send you off to the counter to admire all of their offerings order and pay. Their soups are always fantastic and the sandwiches have quality ingredients. All my friends rave about the duck sandwich but I usually go for the roasted veggie!
If you stop by for a coffee you have to get a Portuguese nata with it. They’re absolutely delicious and the perfect amount of sweetness.
I would avoid going from 12 – 1 as it gets very crowded thanks to the office lunch rush.

Yummy Portuguese coffee shop right in the middle of downtown. Intimate, Cosy ambiance, great spot to for afternoon tea /​coffee chat with your friend. Try the duck and fig panini or the grilled vegetable with goat cheese panini… Sit by the windows and people watch. That’s all you need to know!

Interesting way of ordering food. Friendly staff. Fresh food. Great atmosphere. Very busy, so get there early for brunch.

Central location. Good coffee. though kind of posh. Go there if you enjoy this sort of atmosphere. The Portuguese cakes are delicious!

I ordered Agneau Confit and Canard with salad and soup. Before tax $ 30. Need to order at food counter and paid before food delivered.

So, it was my last day in Montréal and I wanted something with a French feel. I had eaten poutine. I had eaten crepes. I wanted to go to a real French restaurant, but many of them were only open for dinner and were very pricey. So, of course I turned to Unilocal and I saw pictures of the beautiful baguettes and I was sold!
As, I approached the café I was already happy with my choice. It was quaint and had the feel of some of those great cafes in Paris. There were people dining on the sidewalk and the place was hoppin so I knew it must be good.
So I walked in and asked for a table. I was given a table and then told to go to the counter to place my order. Now, unfortunately for me the menu was completely in French. It definitely gave me the French feel I wanted, but made ordering a little more difficult for me. Luckily, the young lady behind the counter came out and walked me through it. I was already thinking about a baguette and I could read enough French to kind of figure out what I wanted. I asked if there was a ham and cheese sandwich on a baguette and she said no, it’s prosciutto, cheese, and butter on a baguette. Well, that sounded right up my alley. The sandwich came with a choice of salad or soup. I chose the tomato soup. Once I ordered I still had to wait in line to pay. This gave me time to look at the desserts. There were so many and they all looked fabulous, but in the end I went for portability so that I could take it with me for an afternoon snack and ordered the blondie. As soon as I paid and sat down my food was brought out. The soup was very good, but the baguette, well that was a thing of beauty. It was soooo good. I live in Florida where the humidity seems to destroy any attempt at delicious crusty bread, so I was in heaven.
I ended up taking ½ the sandwich with me to eat on the train to Toronto later that day and ate my amazing blondie as an afternoon snack. If I am ever back in Montréal, this place is on my list.

Came here for breakfast on a weekday morning and was surprised that there were only a couple of seats available. It’s a counter service café with omelettes and breakfast sandwiches. Illy coffee is served here.
Had a vegetarian omelette and added cheddar cheese. The omelette was ok and didn’t have a lot of filling. It’s not a large portion. The omelette came with 2 pieces of mini baguette and a couple of pieces of fruit.
Overall, it’s ok. Not bad for a quick bite and a coffee when in the area, but not fantastic enough for it’s prices for me to make the effort to go there.

Great place to have breakfast at while in downtown Montréal.
We had breakfast here every day during a stay with friends. We all loved everything! Food is fresh and delicious. The fresh squeezed OJ was excellent and the croissants were super yummy.
Their omellete vege was fabulous too. Ant they have pastries galore.
Good, fast service but a little pricey.
You can eat al fresco or inside.

Yesterday morning we tried this place with my friend. Both of us liked it so much. Delicious food, fast service, unique atmosphere.
I’ve been in Lisbon 2 years ago and this place definitely reminded me Portugal.
I’m sure I’m coming back.
Highly recommend place!!!
5* from me.

This is my misters favorite brunch place. Every time I bring up brunch, this is the first place he suggest. To be honest, I don’t blame him. Good food, good music, good service. What more can we ask for ?
Owned by the same owner as the higher end restaurant next door, vasco is a more affordable and trendier option for people who are looking to grab a quick bite, or catch up over coffee and desserts.
Although the café is always jam packed with people (mostly business people who work downtown), it’s never too hard to find a seat. Plus the owner/​manager is always extremely enthusiastic, making sure that you don’t have to wait long for be seated.
As for the food, it is FANTASTIC! I’ve tried the chicken chorizo burger, chicken chorizo wrap, tuna burger as well as their breakfast wraps. All are amazing, especially the tuna and chicken chorizo burger. Their coffee and desserts are also extremely good. Warning, they are highly ADDICTIVE, especially those cookies. This is the perfect spot to catch up and munch on some sweets after shopping, both of which I’ve been doing too much of.
Anyways, vasco de gama is a total jem in my books and i would 100% recommend to anyone !

Un jeune homme m’a recommandé ce café! Je dois lui dire merci pour la découverte de ce café portugais qui sert du café italien .Beau décor, Belle musique et bon café! Quoi demande de mieux!!!

Déjà quand j’y ai mis les pieds, j’ai été agréablement reçu et étonnée de voir la place aussi achalandée!
Par la suite, j’ai pu comprendre le pourquoi de la chose… Un bon choix de sandwichs savoureux servis avec un accompagnement au choix également (salade de patates douces, de lentilles, de légumes frais, etc.).
Des desserts également délicieux à choisir en direct devant ses yeux! Tout ça est très alléchant et s’est avéré délicieux!
On peut manger un sandwich rapide (même si je vous recommande de prendre votre temps, car c’est bien plus agréable) avec saveur comparé à un simple «jambon-​fromage».

Super petit café portugais en plein milieu du centre-​ville idéal pour les rencontres de travail et les lunchs santé et juste un peu «fancy.» J’y ai pris un trio de salade et elles étaient toutes aussi bonnes les unes que les autres. J’y retournerais certainement pour essayer les sandwichs qui ont l’air aussi alléchants. Puisque j’y suis allée le lendemain de l’action de grâce, j’avais encore un fond de dinde dans l’estomac, donc l’option salade était parfaite. De plus, le service est extrêmement courtois et chaleureux. Arrivez tôt, faites des réservations ou bien prenez pour emporter.

Excellent Illy lattes here, free WiFi, and just general cool vibes here! As a Montréal tourist, I was already expecting a little taste of France, but who knew that a tiny piece of Italy was here too! This place may look packed from the street, but there’s quite a bit of seating inside, so it’s worth checking out.
