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.
