Great Steak panini. Delicious. Love the bread they use. Heavenly sandwich. Love the truffle sauce with fries on the side & even got the tortellini Rosée. I was full & happy 😃. Amazing 🤩

First time at this Parma Cafe Laval. the food was excellent. My wife ordered the Chicken Sandwich & I had the Italian Sausage Sandwich on their made in house panini. Both were very fresh & tasty & worth the price.
The owner came over & asked if everything was ok, I couldn't lie & told him it was excellent & that he had a nice place.

March 12, Had the steak sandwich & was so tasty, tender & juicy! Followed with a Latte & Zeppole to finish it off.
Beats the competition!
One of my favourite spots in Laval to grab a quick coffee or a bite. In my few times here, I've tried the Parma Club, Spicy Steak & Capicollo sandwich & grilled chicken salad & they were all delicious. Uber orders are always upto par as well in terms of quality & freshness. Love this place
Very disappointed tonight after we ordered 2 panini of the month, at $17.95 each, we had 2 slices of steak, 6 arugula leafs in each sandwich. The last time I went, I had the steak/capocollo panini (again $17.95) which had one slice of each & I thought it was an off day but I guess it's the norm. I have been going to this location since then opening & I find the quality has gone down & it's very disappointing.
However, the service is always good, the restaurant has a good vibe & a beautiful terrace.
Unfortunately, they are lacking consistency! The 1st month they were openly all the sandwiches were prepared to perfection. The last 2 times was a very big let down. Chewy steak with only 1 thin slice. Chicken club had almost no chicken & very small bite seize pieces that were falling out from the bread. & how could they mess up frozen fries? Hope they get it together, I'll give them another shot but after that I'm done wasting my money on bread & condiments.

Bon service, ambiance cool. Les cafés sont bons, mais les sandwichs sont très décevants. Pour avoir essayé plusieurs endroits similaires, les sandwichs sont faiblement garnis, & la qualité des ingrédients est moyenne (fromage qui goûte le single kraft, poulet pané qui a un goût de congelé, steak trop mastiqueux).
I like Parma Café's ambience & everyone is really nice! However, my roast beef au jus 18$ panini was quite average… the meat was very dry & bland. More like philly steak than roast beef au jus in my opinion… pretty cheap on the filling too I think… I don't think I'll spend that much money on a sandwich that tastes about as good as a walmart sub again… I ate it but feel really bad for my wallet right now :( sad because it really is a cute place!
Great place to have a coffee with a friend,
We went around 6:30pm it was a quite a busy,
But the service was quick
I had a light cold latte it was good
Also got the fire chicken it was spicy so if you love spicy it should be in your list
& my friend took a steak capoccolo épicé sandwich
It was also good but she preferred to have a more mayo inside to make it juicier
The all employees were super friendly
I would definitely go back
Went to Parma Cafe for a lunch date with my dad. I had the steak sandwich au jus & he had the sausage sandwich. Both were excellent. Not sure if they make their bread or purchase it from somewhere but whatever the case may be please don't ever change it. Fries with truffle mayo were also delicious. Coffee was very good as well. Price for quality & portions were on point. Staff were friendly. Highly recommend
Loved this place! Excellent service from Michelangelo. He gave great suggestions & looked like he was happy to be there. We came on a Tuesday at 3:00 & it was perfect. I had tried to come at lunch one day & it was packed. The bread for the paninis is perfect. Nice flavour & crunch, not too much doughy filling, big enough to encompass the layers, & it stays in tact until the last bite. The mortadella sandwich is delightful. We would prefer maybe another cheese, but over all great. The spicy steak sandwich, recommended by Mick, is amazing. Full of flavour & great ingredients. Spicy but manageable. The French fries are great. The sandwiches are about 18$. Not cheap, but worth it. We didn't have dessert this time but they look amazing. As a tea drinker I was happy to see & assortment of really good teas. Looking forward to coming back & trying everything.
Ordered the sandwiches . They were 40% lettuce , 15% meat & the rest bread . They look high & mighty but pack a poor punch . Cookies were stale as well . Also, singles cheese with steak is unacceptable , melt some provolone for god sake & charge me the extra dollar . No real Italian experience here , just Italian Americana
