    Wild mushroom pizza
    Rachel W.

    We had a wonderful dinner here! We loved the food, intimate atmosphere, and friendly staff. There is quite a bit of construction on the street where it's located, so you might miss it. Once we entered into the restaurant and we seated at the bar. This was a great spot to people watch and enjoy our drinks. We split the scallops starter and the wild mushroom pizza and it was the perfect amount of food. We both wanted to lick the plates clean. Definitely recommend this place for a nice dinner!

    It's a beautiful hidden gem in the middle of downtown Montreal. Super chill vibes, the food is tasty & not too expensive compared to other spots in the city. There's salads, pizza, brunch options & drinks. The staff is also very friendly & kind!

    Brisket
    Allison T.

    Located in Montreal This hipster style cafe is a great spot for brunch and/or lunch in Montreal! We loved how they decorated their cafe with so many plants and how cute the patio was. We ordered their Brisket and Breakfast Pizza off their brunch menu. The Brisket came with a fried egg, grilled beans, corn, salsa, cherry tomatoes, sour cream and tortillas. We enjoyed how they included many different vegetables and ingredients. The brisket wasn't the best piece as it was very chewy, and the tortillas were a little stale. The Breakfast Pizza was such a large portion! It came with tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, grilled onions, olives, feta, Parmesan and arugula. We liked how they topped the pizza with a nicely fried egg. The pizza was super tasty despite all the vegetables on it, and we would definitely order this again. We would recommend this spot for a nice brunch meal and to take cute pictures. 7/10

    Soy sauce-looking "espresso"
    Darren T.

    A charming, urban establishment, bustling with servers in t-shirts and jeans, our arrival went barely noticed as we waited in line to be greeted. Despite being the first time today we had to wait, our slowly spent minutes amplified the golden caresses of that creamy, rich espresso that seeped from our imagination to our septum. With 4.4 stars, and nearly 2 thousand reviews, our hopes for this place was high. Far from the quaint Roma enfants d'amour we were used to, the place seemed much closer to a snack bar, bar proper, or even restaurant. But as I remarked to my friend, "Even Deleuze enjoyed sandwiches and croissants with his Saturday morning coffees." Our excitement was palpable, we could almost touch it. The server returned with our coffees in ribbed cardboard cups and a credit machine, and we noted with amusement how we were served still in line. With no place for us to sit, we hurried back to our plaza di rendez-vous, a matted silver Camry from 2004, not unlike the color of old spoons, never accidented but Dreidutzend times dented. With Rachmaninov's second piano concerto on the AUX, we were ready. Unveiling our brides, the first sign of horror that beheld us was the distinct lack of crema, that fundamental golden hair that crowned the surface of the most espresso. Smelling once was enough to spur a small cry from me. "No no no no no!" Lukewarm and tasting like soy sauce, I could not bring myself to go past the first sip. If the Café Olympico was subtle with its acridity, this one displayed it openly. Violently sour, not only was our bride bald, but she was also toothless, warted, and suffered from gangrene. We had been, quite plainly, catfished. It was Vietnam all over again. At 3$, this coffee was not nearly 3 times better, nor even, arguably, as good, as the basic espresso from Tim Horton's that cost 1$. And that's not hard to beat. Though we cannot speak for the rest of the establishment's offerings, we can only assume that there is whence this café derives its otherwise pristine reputation. Parvis espresso rating out of 8.3 = (1/ln(2))/8.3

    Negroni with local Quebec Gin and a Spritz with a local Aperitif. Delicious!
    Krystofer D.

    We just had drinks here, but the experience was great. Our server was really attentive and helpful. He helped us with things to do and places to go as we were visiting from out of town. The drinks were very tasty and were enjoyed out on a lovely patio. Cheers!!!

    Good vibes, coffee presentation and taste are both nice. Nothing more to say but yelp requires more words.

    The bread pudding with butterscotch sauce...simply amazing!!!
    Jeff W.

    Our first meal in Montreal and it did not disappoint! First off, the restaurant is very quaint and charming. The greenery throughout gives a warm ambiance and charm. As for the food...it was terrific. Had the mushroom appetizer for starters. It was flavorful to say the least. The mushrooms are in a batter that is flat-out delicious. For the main course we had the turkey pizza which was excellent. For dessert we indulged in the bread pudding with butterscotch sauce, which was heavenly. While not normally a fan of butterscotch, this sauce was nothing short of amazing. Much more rich and flavorful than any other butterscotch I've had. And the bread pudding had the perfect texture (important with this dish). Service was attentive and accommodating. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish!

    Salami, zucchini, bell pepper pizza (without cheese)
    Barnali D.

    This place was lovely! Tasty food and drinks, friendly service, and a wonderful ambiance! My husband and I shared the following: 1. Salami, bell pepper, and zucchini pizza with jalapeño and basil sauce (we got it without cheese) - flavorful and unique 2. Bread pudding - tasty My husband enjoyed his refreshing rhubarb and basil cocktail, and I quite liked my spicy ginger beer. The service was friendly and prompt. They found us a table that had space to park our baby in her stroller, which we appreciated. The atmosphere here is fantastic and the biggest reason to come here. The space is filled with lovely plants hanging from above and has plenty of seating. There was a pianist / singer crooning softly for a portion of our meal. The only downside was the bathroom. It was a bit cramped and I had a hard time figuring out how to use the sink - it turned out the faucet was pedal operated and when you push down, the water gushes out at an uncomfortably high volume. Also, there was no baby changing table available, which was disappointing. Overall, this was a great spot to relax for a couple hours, and I'd highly recommend it.

    Terrasse

    It was winter the last time I was at Cafe Parvis. Seeing the nice street side terrasse they have right now was great! The little tables looked fantastic, with all the flowers, herbs and other plants around them. Since it was late morning on a weekday, there wasn't a lot of people and we snatched one of those lovely little marble tables by the window. We each got a latte and shared a croissant. The latte art was lovely and the coffee was good. So glad that I live so close to this plate!

    Softly lit and not too loud, a candlelight spot for pizza and salad. We had beet salad and sausage pizza.

    My hotel was nearby and I kept seeing people gathered outside or walking in this place. Around 4:30…read moreone evening it was quiet, so I walked in to check out the food menu. You walk in and there's a clothing store on one side and black curtains straight ahead. I just stood there confused for a second until someone suddenly appeared and escorted me through the curtains, down a long dark hallway, and into this intimate, dimly lit bar. Turns out, I had accidentally stumbled into a speakeasy. The space is tiny--maybe 6-8 seats at the bar and a long banquet along the wall for 10-12 more people. No menus either. They ask what you like and don't like, then craft a cocktail specifically for you. The pours are generous and the bar is stocked with top-shelf liquor. About a drink and a half in, I realized I needed actual food immediately and had to leave. The staff was friendly, personable, and chatty, and because the space is so intimate, you naturally end up talking with the people around you. Definitely more of a solo or date-night spot than a group hang. Such a cool, unexpected experience.

    Hands down the best speakeasy or cocktail bar we visited while in MTL. It's behind a hidden door…read morenext to the smallest bar in Canada, which is so fun. You want to be brought in and it's dark and moody with the BEST craft cocktail list. The theme is duck - which is so fun. Our bartender was OUTSTANDING. He gave not only the best drink recommendations, but also gave us a hand written list of his favorite spots in MTL (drinks, dining, activities, etc). I wish we would've gotten his name because I cannot praise him enough!

    The Coldroom is a fantastic bar and definitely worth visiting. We actually ended up going twice…read moreduring our trip, and each visit was a little different. The first time, the music was extremely loud, and it seemed like they were short-staffed. The bar was completely packed, and there was only one bartender making drinks, so the wait was a bit longer than expected. We decided to give it another try, and I'm so glad we did. The second visit was amazing! The bartender working that night was incredible--she clearly knows her craft and made our drinks quickly without sacrificing quality. Every cocktail was delicious, and the overall experience was much more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend The Coldroom. My only suggestion would be that, with a space that busy, the bar could really benefit from having an additional bartender during peak hours. It would help keep wait times down and make an already great experience even better.

    YES TO EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE…read more You walk in and are immediately immersed in a forest like ambiance. Hanging plants and funky music draw you into the main bar area as you're greeted by the server. Jess was energetic, attentive, & super knowledgeable. She made awesome recommendations and gave us some of the best service we have received in Montreal! We started with the Burrata & Prosciutto which came with some legitimately delicious fresh baked bread that was similar to naan. A lighter portion but enough for 5 of us to pick at. We followed with some pizza - the Mush Pit 2.0, Salsiccia di Vitello, & the Bianca Royale (which Jess recommended). Each pizza had 6 slices and the crust was on the thinner side. Each one would get 10 stars across the board, seriously. Two of us shared the Caribbean Queen which was a rum based cocktail that came with a little ~ razzle dazzle ~! Seriously one of the best meals & some of the best service we experienced during our week long trip. Food and drinks came quickly and there was plenty of seating. THANK U JESS!!
