Overall, Café Parvis is a charming, plant filled spot downtown with a Parisian cafe vibe and a welcoming ambiance. The space and decor are repeatedly praised, including real plants, a cozy terrace and a spacious interior that can accommodate groups, though it can get loud at peak times. The menu is diverse, with beloved pizzas and fresh salads, and standout vegetarian options like maitake mushrooms, while some dishes such as certain pizzas or seafood can be uneven and occasionally over or undercooked, leading to mixed experiences. Service is frequently described as friendly and efficient, yet occasional slowdowns or a misstep by a staff member have left some diners frustrated. Value is often seen as reasonable or pricey depending on the visit, with many noting quality ingredients and generous portions on some dishes but others finding portions small for the price. Café Parvis remains a notable, photogenic spot with strong ambiance and solid food, popular for groups and casual meals but not immune to occasional inconsistencies or noise.
Went here for dinner. The service was super inattentive. We had to flag down our waitress for more drinks after waiting almost 30 minutes with empty cups. She was super sweet & seemed overwhelmed so I can only imagine they were understaff. They seem to have a lot of non servers cleaning cutlery or running food. I think it would make a lot of sense to have them refill water, bus tables & check in on tables if they don't want to schedule more servers on hand. Otherwise the drinks were great & the food was super unique. I've never had a pizza like it! Would recommend to give it a try. Don't get the large salad even to share. It's too big!!! The decor is super well done.
If you are in Montreal & craving for tasty food or pizza, this is the place you want to come. We order 5 pizza for a group of 6 & struggled to finish it. We liked all of them but salmon & pork were my personal favourite. Will go there again. Music was a bit too loud & we were not able to hear each other Decoration inside was good too.

Nice decor & atmosphere. However, they did not have much gluten free option other then salads. I did enjoy their drink selection so maybe more of a nice place to have a drink if you have one or too many dietary restriction.
Their pizza are not ordinary, it's like a combo of salad & pizza! We had the crazy mushroom & Cresson, tomate, avocat, crème sure aux oignons verts, feta, vinaigrette au jalapeño. Very cozy & green with a lot of plants indoor decor. Their tropical non-alcohol cocktail was excellent!
Your menu specifically the quinoa dish needs some work, bland. Good starters, the scallops & the halloumi. Need more options for mains for people who don't eat gluten. Always enjoy the decor.
Restaurant très agréable, bon service & menu original avec beaucoup de plats légers & frais pour les chaud midis d'été. Terrasse vraiment chouette & décor coquet sans prétention

Il n'y a rien d'ordinaire à cette adresse. Le décor vieille école, une carte sophisitiquée & originale, une équipe qui aime le métier, tout est sans prétention, même le prix.

Bonjour !
Je suis allée chez-vous hier soir pour le souper avant le spectacle. Ma fille qui m'accompagnait vous connaissait & c'est elle qui a fait la suggestion.
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié tant la nourriture que le service & le décor.
La pizza & la salade que nous nous sommes partagées, étaient délicieuses, différentes sans être trop extravagante. Le serveur très aimable & compétent.
Merci
Françoise
