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.
Ambiance, beautiful. I ordered the Sweet Potato Salad & was not the most satisfied. I told the waiter & they were SUPER understanding & happily asked if I wanted to order something else. Cesar salad was definitely more my cup of tea. Service was top. Thank you to the staff. Will definitely be coming back.
Nous avons eu une mauvaise expérience avec ce restaurant. L'un d'entre nous a trouvé un bout de plastique sur sa pizza & la serveuse de répondre :'Oui on sait, ça arrive souvent. Vous n'avez pas de chance, d'habitude, ils sont moins gros.' L'erreur peut arriver (difficilement acceptable pour le prix, mais admettons), mais le service derrière doit être irréprochable, ce qui n'a pas été le cas. La pizza a été offerte, mais ça n'est pas suffisant. Cela a mis tout le monde dans l'embarras lors de ce dîner d'affaires. Nous ne recommandons pas.
I was in a table of 8, we all had different pizzas., non of us liked them. Not good. Not disgusting either but it's think pizza that is not crunchy. The topping were unseasoned. Great atmosphere & service though

This is a good spot for brunch & food wise :
Loved the breakfast pizza - the egg on top was much better than expected.
Feta cheese scone - pretty good but felt it would be better if it was a little more of a crispy exterior. Very yummy & a cheesey flavour
Duck thigh - not my favourite but others said it was very good although the duck meat could have been a little more tender
Silky Tofu salad - very very nice flavour & lots of fresh veggies. I will also say the tofu was NOT silky but on the very firm side (so this was disappointing)
Pancakes with maple ice cream - excellent. but felt they should have added another pancake to fill out the plate.. (personal peeve).
The Panisse fries - very very good. Good balance of halloumi, eggplant, chickpeas & dressing .
Would I come back - probably would return but would love to try the other menu options - you won't be disappointed to try this spot.
Sweet little spot with an impeccable aesthetic. We came here for breakfast one morning & had a great time! I was a little underwhelmed by their iced matcha latte (not very sweet or flavorful even though I asked to have it sweetened), but my partner's breakfast pizza was exceptional! Worth checking out 😊

Beautiful spot, really good pizza & salads! The puttanesca pizza & the white margherita pizza were incredible. The tofu salad was also really good. Lots of vegetarian options
Overpriced Instagram bait-looks great in photos but tastes like disappointment. My plate was a mountain of bland potatoes, chewy bacon, & barely enough dressing to justify calling it a salad. Add a side of indifferent service & deafening noise, & you've got a dining experience best forgotten.

It's a very cozy spot to go with friends & family. A main dish is less than $30, & the ingredients are super fresh. I love the pizza there, but keep in mind that the menu always changes, so your favorite pizza may not be available on your second visit.
We ordered gnocchi & pizza with sausage, & both were very good. I highly recommend this place!
They have two floors, so I've never seen a line when having lunch on the weekend, but you could make a reservation just in case.

4?? Conclusion & recommandations
Malgré une très bonne qualité des plats & une ambiance agréable, l'attitude d'une employée a eu un impact négatif sur l'expérience. Un service client bienveillant & respectueux est essentiel pour fidéliser la clientèle.
➡ Recommandations pour l'établissement :
• Sensibiliser le personnel sur l'importance du respect des clients & du langage corporel.
• S'assurer que chaque employé adopte une attitude professionnelle & accueillante en toute circonstance.
• Encourager un esprit de service axé sur l'expérience client & non sur le jugement.
⚠ Un excellent repas peut être terni par une mauvaise interaction, d'où l'importance d'un service irréprochable.
Came here for a girls night. Beautiful & fun setting, kind of pricey (but not crazy for this area of town).
The food & drink variety is great!
Honestly, a great way to spend the evening.
Lovely restaurant, came here before for brunch & was delicious. However, first time having dinner here & to say the least me & my friends were very disappointed, the soup was more like a stew missing a lot of flavor. The pizza was bland nothing execptional for the price. The bokchoi salad was far too salty with too much soya sauce dressing it overpowered the salad to the point was it was just unpleasent to eat. Finally the desserts, were not fresh & tasted like frozen grocery story desserts. We all left with stomach aches. Great place for coffee but wouldnt recommend for dinner as the menu is also very limited.
Nice spot to stop in for coffee & dessert in the heart of the Quartier Des Spectacles & Place Des Arts. We warmed up here on a cold December day & enjoyed relaxed atmosphere & decor.
