We had such an amazing time at Parma Café yesterday! The sandwiches were absolutely delicious, & the lattes, just as good 😊

The girl at the counter was the sweetest person ever, & really contributed positively to our experience. Definitely a must try in Montréal, especially the sandwiches!

Mon premier 5 étoiles complètes. C'est une chaîne de café qui grandit chaque année & qui a de tout pour divertir, occuper & surtout manger. La popularité attire beaucoup de clients & de même qu'ils ont partis leur propre marchandise/vêtements pouvant être acheté sur place. Ils ont aussi plusieurs autre produits dérivés. Parma café compte énormément de choix sur son menu que ce soit pour manger ou boire.
Heures d'ouverture en semaine + samedi. ( 10h - 21h )
Heures du dimanche ( 10h a.m - 18h )
J'y ai été le soir donc c'était très calme & l'ambiance était parfaite, de la bonne musique, un lieu très propre & un personnel accueillant
C'est très moderne dans le sens ou la déco est faite pour faire ressentir une émotion. Beaucoup de miroirs sur place & beaucoup de places au comptoir.
Je n'ai rien de négatif à dire sur cet endroit.
Je recommande certainement.

My first full 5 stars. It's a coffee chain that keeps growing every year & offers everything to entertain you, keep you busy, & most importantly, feed you. Its popularity attracts a lot of customers, & they have even launched their own merchandise & clothing, which can be purchased on site. They also offer several other branded products.

Parma Café has an extensive menu with a wide variety of options, whether you want something to eat or drink.

Weekday + Saturday hours: (10 a.m. - 9 p.m.)
Sunday hours: (10 a.m. - 6 p.m.)

I went in the evening, so it was very calm & the atmosphere was perfect - good music, a very clean place, & welcoming staff.

It's very modern in the sense that the décor is designed to make you feel something. There are many mirrors throughout the space & plenty of counter seating.

I have nothing negative to say about this place.
I would recommend it !

Excellent Italian café!
The panini are amazing, especially the steak capicollo & À la Gigi. Pasta & desserts like tiramisu & cannoli are top quality.

Not the fanciest place, but for the price it is outstanding. Excellent shorthand chef & hot food, fresh baked bread. A huge step above a regular cafe.
