I came here this morning for breakfast with my family,it's a small Portuguese cafe offering breakfast, lunch & dinner. Very quick & easy to get to from the hotel St. Paul
Seating holds about 15 people on bar stools with a larger table in the back with chairs can seat approximately 6-8 people. This is a good spot to get your early morning pastry & coffee.
They also sell Portuguese cooking sauces & condiments, jams,cheese etc. from Portugal-I'm buying some items to bring home to Toronto cause they have a selection you can't get there. Did I mention how perfect the pateis de natas are?! Well it's the best I've ever had! I've eaten these my entire life and nothing compares to theirs; first it's pastry is light flaky but not too flaky where it falls apart on you. Then the custard filling is a perfect balance of sweet & custard taste. The ones I get in Toronto are good but most of the time they are too sweet,not enough custard flavour & the pastry is too firm.(I think they "cheap" out to make a buck; So I'm buying a dozen or two to bring back to have.
The price range is decent, keep in mind it's in the tourist spot of old Montreal. I had a mushroom & cheese omelette sandwhich on a ciabatta style bun for $10 it came with some fruits. The ham & cheese croissant was $4.50. Taste was good what I expected.
The coffee (cafe au lait) was exceptional, milk foam was thick, coffee was smooth. I could drink 5 cups easily. A lot of people were grabbing takeout.
Overall if you visit old Montreal this place is a must try for the custard tarts (pateis de natas)
