Review Summary

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.

Amazing food. The food was so good that we went back for a second meal in the same day. Fresh & clean.

Nous sommes venus au Café Parvis pour un dîner d'équipe en semaine. L'endroit était plein, mais nous avons tout de même obtenu une table assez rapidement, ce qui est appréciable. Le local est grand & possède un certain charme, même si l'ambiance peut devenir un peu bruyante aux heures de pointe.

Le service était bon, courtois & efficace, sans être particulièrement mémorable. Côté nourriture, c'était très bien dans l'ensemble, mais rien de véritablement exceptionnel. J'ai pris deux « petits » plats qui étaient finalement assez généreux en portion, ce qui est un point positif.

La pieuvre, par contre, était un peu trop cuite & plutôt trop ferme à mon goût, même si les accompagnements étaient réussis. Coup de coeur pour le plat de maitaké : une option végane vers laquelle je ne me dirige habituellement pas, mais qui était vraiment bien exécutée, saveurs originales, belle présentation & portion satisfaisante. Je le reprendrais sans hésiter.

Certains collègues ont commandé des pizzas qui semblaient plus ordinaires; l'une d'elles a même laissé la croûte, jugée un peu sèche, ferme & peu goûteuse.

En résumé, c'est un bel endroit avec une cuisine solide & une belle ambiance pour un repas de groupe. Une bonne découverte, même si ce n'est pas une adresse particulièrement mémorable à mon avis. Je recommande tout de même.

I absolutely love the vibes at this place. The plants are all real & the casual cafe vibe is peak. However it's more than a restaurant than cafe but they are usually fine if you pull out your laptop to work for a bit (we made sure it wasn't busy first). The food however is just kinda average.

Les pizzas sont excellentes, le service est rapide, l'accueil est génial & le restaurant est grand, sur deux étages. Il est très bien situé.
Bonne adresse.

Pretty place but the food is extremely bland. It doesn't taste like much unfortunately. I was expecting better for the price. I ate a stew, but it didn't taste like it.

Went there for a work lunch. One of the worst pizzas I've ever had. I got the Nordic shrimp pizza, & it had weird toppings like lettuce & Lays kinda chips. Lettuce made the pizza dough extra soggy, & the shrimps were cold & cut into small minced pieces, so you don't even get the taste of shrimps. Service was excellent & attentive. The place is way too loud for a business meeting, so if you're going there to talk money, it's not your place.

Arrêt pour chiller & jaser avec un ami le temps de se réchauffer d'une journée froid ede 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!

Selon moi, la meilleure salade verte de Montréal. Fraîcheur, textures, saveurs: tout y est.

The dinner menu is very limited, basically just pizzas & a soup or two, but it was honestly one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Small but quality wine list. Friendly staff, noisy but happy downtown crowd. We had a small private room in the back which helped with the noise. Would definitely recommend for a convivial casual dinner.

Had brunch with a friend & arrived without a reservation (pecatto!). Make sure to ask for a reservation!

We got bar seats. When a petite two-person table opened up, we asked the server if we could move. They said they'd check whether that table was reserved, but we never saw them do so & then, when asked again, they just simply said the table was already reserved (maybe they wanted to keep the potential tip. Who knows?). Quelqu'un d'autre a obtenu la table peu de temps après.

I ordered their Pizza déjeuner. The flavours were peculiar & didn't all marry well. The dill worked nicely with the fish & sauce rosée, but the jalapeno marinade had way too many pieces, throwing the balance off completely. The egg was an odd addition; it felt like three different dishes colliding in one bite: classic Western breakfast (egg + bread + sauce), a kind of modern European fusion (dill-infused saumon & truite), & unbalanced Tex-Mex food (jalapeno + jalapeno + jalapeno) = un pasticcio. Won't be choosing that one again, ever. Their other pizzas are much better.

A bit disappointed with this Frankenstein of a pizza at Parvis. Sure, Guillermo del Toro just released his new film, but that doesn't mean my brunch should come with a touche d'horreur/Tex-Mex plot twist. Still, Parvis has great food options.

Offering a cozy atmosphere, Café Parvis is the charming combination of a modern & vintage vibe. The food was mesmerizing whether it is the carrot/chickpeas/labneh salad or the pumpkin spice pie for dessert. The canadian-rooted tea was also a perfect end of the evening. Definitely coming back !

What a hidden gem! Very unassuming exterior but an incredible spot for lunch. So glad we checked it out - food was delicious!
