Amazing steak sandwich recommended from the staff. Tortellini was good size for my daughter & she enjoyed it also. Really nice spot to grab a quick bite. Thanks for the water bottle!

Parma never disappoints! The staff are always friendly, & the quality of their sandwiches is great. The bread is super fresh.
This one's the steak capicolo épices, vraiment délicieux! The other was the steak sandwich, also amazing. Highly recommend.
Visiting this cafe in the heart of Montreal was such a amazing experience, finding an authentic lunch style sandwich places is very difficult when you are just visiting a city, & when I found this place I was so lucky. The design & layout of this place was well thought out, the location is in a commercial area in the heart of downtown Montreal where is very inviting & designed very well. The service was fast, & everything was very fresh & made with high-quality ingredients. The pricing was very competitive & didn't hurt the pocket as much. There are options to choose from. Also, depending on what you're vegetarian to having even steak. I would give this a five out of five just for the authenticity & the quality that they're serving at the price point. Whenever I am back in the city, I will definitely be visiting this café again for the fries also were amazing.
Came here for a coffee but ended up ordering a steak panini & wow! Can't say enough about how amazing it is. We ended up ordering another panini sandwich & it was just as good. Will definitely be coming back & you should to, you will not regret it!!
Was excited to try after seeing many positive reviews. Overall a good meal but the taste is pretty standard & nothing stands out, like an elevated Subway with better bread. There needs some sourness in the salmon sandwich & some pesto or pepper with the steak sandwich would have been nice.
A'must-do' every time I'm visiting Montreal, & a go-to recommendation for friends in town. The Steak Sandwich is one of the BEST I've ever had. Fantastic service. Great value! I'll be back!

The steak panini is delicious! I highly recommend trying it, the bread is crispy, the meat is tender, it's flavourful & easy to bite down. All around fantastic sandwich. On the other hand, it should be illegal to charge 5.75$ for a 14oz latte made with an automatic espresso machine. The price of latte is justified by the craft, care & intention put into the cup. This coffee was not it at all.
