Café Vasco de Gama is a relaxed downtown Montreal café that’s great for a quick bite or coffee break. Located in the business district, it’s a popular choice for lunch, offering Portuguese staples like frango piri piri (grilled chicken) and pastéis de nata (custard tarts). The atmosphere is casual, and the menu keeps things simple but flavourful. You can pop in for a sit-down meal or grab something to go—either way, it’s a solid choice for a taste of Portuguese comfort food right in the city.
