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.
Les salades sont incroyables & composées d'ingrédients de superbe qualité. Le service est wayy beyond expectations. Une superbe institution de Montreal hyper bien gérée who's in for the long term. Chapeau guys & gals.
Great spot for brunch. The staff was great. We wanted to sit outside after having already been seated & they accommodated us with pleasure. The outdoor terrace with the picnic tables was cozy. I really enjoyed the cream corn & mushroom breakfast pizza. Super unique take & delicious.
Took 20 minutes for a server to ask what we would like to drink. If we had to wait another 5-10 min, I would have left.
The pizza was pretty good, however the crust was a little soggy. I wish there was a little more cheese on the pizzas. I understand the style they want to go for but it feels like it's not enough.
This is the second time I have been here. Both times were lovely. Great atmosphere, ideal for casual lunch with friends or with colleagues. Nice variety of items on the menu. Highly recommend.
We went for lunch with a group of people from work during the summer.
The pizza were good but a bit small for the price (all pizzas were between 22-28$).
The atmosphere was great & cozy.
Be sure to ask how much are the add-ons for the pizzas because one person added 4 small pieces of chicken on her pizza & it ended up being 8$ for that.
Beautiful place. I teresting takes on dishes.
Green salad was amazing, but SUPER vinaigretty & salty, which I loved but might not be for everybody.
Pizza wasn't great... But then again, that's on us for ordering a pizza at a non-pizza establishment
Beigne aux fraises was FANTASTIC, haven't had such a special item in a while.
So overall, amazing atmosphere (love it when I have the urge to move into a restaurant), very volatile quality of food, great service.
We had a great experience at Cafe Parvis. The food was delicious & unexpected. The patio was dog friendly which is perfect for us. Drinks were smaller than other places but flavour was on point.

I am impressed with the speed, quality & price of the food despite how busy the place was when I arrived. The coffee is sub-par. They get coffee from Kittel, in my opinion one of the best roasters in the city, but they get their least interesting coffee. I ordered a cortado & the milk texture was off & it tasted burnt. That said, the chicken sandwich was insanely good for $18
I've visited this café a few times over the past couple of years. The service & food are generally mediocre, & the wait time for food tends to be longer than expected, even when it's not too busy. It's a convenient spot for large groups, but not one I'd go out of my way for.

My family & in-laws went here for lunch. We got 3 pizzas (watercress, red margarita & grilled chicken). They were all exceptional pizza. You could literally taste the freshenss in the ingredients!
Excellent food, fantastic service, & great ambiance! I would come back. Beautiful decor indoors & nice patio outside. I would maybe play some music outdoors as we couldn't hear the music indoors. This is a gem ☺?
