Overall, Café Parvis is praised for its charming atmosphere, lush plants, and a menu with standout pizzas, fresh salads, and creative vegetarian options, plus reliable brunch and tasty cocktails. The two level space and a pleasant patio offer a convivial setting for groups, work lunches, or casual dinners, and presentation and ingredient quality are frequently highlighted. Some reviews note inconsistent service, long waits at peak times, and a few dishes that fall short or feel pricey, while others rave about the ambiance and repeatedly good food. Reservations are advised for busier evenings, but Café Parvis remains a beloved Montreal spot for a relaxed meal with great vibes.
Ordered beetroot salad & it was good.. three stars.
The real issue, i was part of a group & visited them on 16-April, the guy who attended us was polite & guided me on the vegetarian options & helped me decide on a salad bowl which on the menu was priced $17, with no option for small or large, or price of large mentioned.
I was surprised when i received the bill which had the dish price as 22. & at no time i had ordered a grande bowl or even aware of the price.
Being part of a group i paid it quietly, but realised the server adds higher price alternatives without confirming, & it was not mentioned on menu as well… one star for service.

Beef tataki was unpleasant-tasting & plated badly, & octopus croquettes had minimal octopus, but pizza was very good! Pricey for the quality & amount of food.
Very lovely cafe, I was very pleasantly surprised by the brunch menu & the distinct flavors present in each dish.
This place was recommended to me many times, & I have to say it absolutely met my expectations.
The decorations was gorgeous, with many plants & wooden furnitures giving a casual but elevated look. Very comfy, very nice.
The food was albeit a bit pricey but absolutely delicious. My friends & I got the poached eggs, the corn tortillas & the waffle green olives, & we all loved our dish. I took the waffle green olives & I found it to have many flavors while being well-blended. It was honestly impressive!
I also found that it had many vegetarian options. It was not particularly well labeled on the menu but there are many!
The staff were also quite friendly & quick, all good on that front too. There was a lot more space than I expected; the place is quite spacious & can accommodate rather large groups. I would recommend making a reservation.
Their summer brunch is something special! I took my parents there & they were so impressed my mom still keeps dreaming of their Gospatcho. Everything we ordered was delicious! The outdoor sitting was amazing & the stuff were excellent! 10/10
Un endroit parfait : charmant, professionel & de qualité. On a loué une salle de rencontre & ensuite lunché, tout a été très smooth. On s'est régalé ! Le lieu est tout simplement trop beau !

This was a miss for dinner. Mostly vegetarian pizza or salads. The garlic shrimp pizza was a cold salad topped with potato chips on top a pizza crust. Not tasty at all. The crust was the best part.
Mother/daughter trip to Montreal started here! Come here for the atmosphere & a nice light pizza. The chicken & arugula or the mushroom spinach with garlic bechamel with spicy oil. Super yummy! Cocktails are also great.
Arrêt pour chiller & jaser avec un ami le temps de se réchauffer d'une journée froide de novembre. Nous avons pris des boissons au bar, sans plus. L'ambiance est bien! Le service sympa! Le barman nous a offert des cocktails & nous les a préparé rapidement. C'était bien! C'était bon! On est heureux!
