Première visite à ce restaurant, offre de salades ou sandwichs. Commande au comptoir a été rapide sans être amical non plus.

Bel espace lumineux avec un mélange de tables & comptoirs pour s'y asseoir. J'ai apprécié le libre-service pour l'eau, rapide & efficace.

J'ai opté pour la salade Caesar au poulet grillé à $20. Belle portion de salade, bonne vinaigrette honnête sans être dans les meilleures. J'ai bien aimé les croûtons, croquants & savoureux. Le poulet goûtait bon, semble être à l'origan.

Au final, une place où l'on priorise l'efficacité à la chaleur de l'expérience, pas un négatif en soi, juste le genre de place impersonnelle qu'on s'attend au centre-ville. Pour travailleurs affairés qui veulent bien manger.

Visited Parma Cafe in downtown Montreal during the summer & had a great experience. I ordered a coffee & pasta, & both were excellent-fresh, well-balanced, & clearly made with care. Special thanks to the chef, Jinil, whose cooking really stood out. The flavors were rich & comforting, & the presentation was clean & appetizing. A solid spot for anyone looking for good coffee & quality Italian-style food in the heart of the city. Would definitely visit again.

I am embarrassingly fussy about my coffee & truthfully not that many cafes can pull a decent espresso. I am super addicted to this place… like a junk I crawl in every day I'm in town to get my fix, usually 3 in a row while I have my cigarillo on the steps with the fientes d'oiseaux … not even that can put me off.
Hopelessly addicted 😢☕?☕?☕?💀
