Petit Opus Cafe-Bar is described in the reviews as having a strong breakfast focus with generous portions and some standout dishes, especially the smoked salmon bagel. Service is described as friendly and attentive in places, but experiences vary with slow service and periods of being understaffed during busy times. Prices are noted as higher for the quality and less competitive than nearby options, which leads some diners to feel the value is not ideal. There are moments of maintenance or noise concerns such as hallway cleaning during arrivals, which some would prefer to schedule when the restaurant is closed. Despite the drawbacks, several reviews highlight a very enjoyable breakfast and a tendency to return, with the bagel dishes described as among the best. Overall the sentiment is mixed but leans positive with appreciation for food quality and a willingness to visit again while noting variability in service and value.View restaurant profile

Reviews describe Café Parvis as a stylish, plant-filled, cozy spot that is popular for brunch, lunch, and casual dinners with a warm, intimate vibe and a welcoming terrace. The pizzas are a frequent highlight, praised for thin crusts and tasty toppings by many, though a few pies are described as soggy or unbalanced, and some breakfast or brunch dishes mix different flavors in odd ways. Salads and vegetarian options are often noted as fresh and inventive, with standout green salads and imaginative plates, yet a couple of dishes are called too salty or expensive for what is served. Drinks and the bar scene get solid praise, with a small but appealing wine list and well-made cocktails, though coffee and desserts receive mixed feedback in places. Service is generally friendly and efficient, but experiences vary with some slow or inattentive moments and rare rudeness; overall the place is seen as a reliable, photogenic hub worth visiting for the ambiance and solid food, with reservations recommended especially for evenings, and it is considered a good spot for groups, friends, families, or a date.View restaurant profile

Le Parva is described as having two cafe spots, one inside the library area near the books and another in the hall. The library location is praised for reasonable prices on drinks, including a latte made with Nutrinor milk, a Quebec product, but a November visit is noted for a long wait and a server who was not very friendly, while the hall location is seen as more interesting with generally good prices and solid portions. The cafe has long offered pastries made with local ingredients and options that were advertised as vegan, vegetarian and gluten free, but a pastry chef change a few months ago led to the disappearance of popular cakes, leaving bakery items that are not vegan or gluten free. Sandwiches can take longer if warmed, but a top barista who knows regular orders adds to the appeal and encourages repeat visits.View restaurant profile
