I just got their panini of the month (fried chicken, bacon, jam & peanut butter). It was AWESOME. There's a lot of fillings, contrary to many other expensive sandwich places where the sandwich taste more of bread that what's supposed to be in the fillings. & also, the bread quality at Parma is very good. & very decent price for the quantity, we don't feel too much screwed up as a consumer - which is the case for many other restaurants who charge very high but for very few ingredients.
The waitress was very busy with many customers (no wonder considering this is a very good cafe) but she took the time to acknowledge me while taking care of all the orders behind the counter & she was very nice.
Cafe is pretty small , I wouldn't go in with a big group . The menu is also written very small but they had a lot of options ! The cashier was kind enough to explain different options for me :)
Parma Café, a great spot to grab a coffee, have a sandwich & relax! The location is in the heart of Downtown & easily accessible. The staff is friendly too!!
I got my coffee to-go from here for a week straight in late August 2024 & it was always super crowded inside & had a line-up, so it's clearly pretty known around downtown Montreal. I wouldn't come & do work here, but definitely to grab a coffee & spend some time with friends. The baristas were super friendly.
Parma Café on Bishop is a delightful spot, especially if you're around Concordia University. The location is super convenient, making it an easy stop whether you're grabbing a quick coffee between classes or meeting up with friends. The staff here are genuinely friendly & welcoming, which adds to the cozy, laid-back vibe. I had a coffee during my visit, & it was spot on-rich, smooth, & served just right. It's clear they take pride in their brew. The café itself has a nice, relaxed atmosphere, making it a great place to unwind or get some work done. I'll definitely be coming back!
Got the charcuterie sandwich for lunch around 1 PM - friendly service, & got my meal very quickly! The sandwich has nice, crispy bread & the meats taste amazing. I would've added some more sauce or something as it's a little dry. I would recommend & I plan to come back & try others!
