We ordered two A La GiGi sandwiches. Very crispy and fresh bread, generous fillings and delicious flavour. Highly recommend and will go back when I am in Montreal again.

The tiramisu is a must-try! Rich, creamy, and the perfect end to a fantastic meal.

Great food and service - the place is very busy with a little bit of a wait at lunch. Small space can get noisy.

This place is EXACTLY what we hope look for when we’re on vacation: A casual, non-pretentious place with food that is absolutely delicious! I enjoyed the charcuterie Panino and my wife had a Porchetta panino. Both were literally the best paninis we’ve had in North America and much of Italy. They both featured a special “relish” (for lack of a better word) that was a mix of lettuce, peppers pearl onions and exquisite seasoning. I wish I could have that on every sandwich I eat - forever! The mixtures is both exceptionally tasty and a bit spicy. When I took my first bite it was like a party in my mouth! I knew almost immediately that it was one of the best sandwiches that I’d ever had. Then my wife gave me a bite of her porchetta panino and THAT was even better. The seasoning on that pork just exploded my taste buds… and I’m not even a big fan of pork. One of the keys to the greatness of these sandwiches is the amazing bread. It has a perfect combination of a delicious, delicate center with a perfect, gourmet-crunchy crust. Not too hard or thick, but just right for marrying with the perfection of the ingredients.
Not to be outdone were the staff! They were all every bit as wonderful as the food, and so welcoming and helpful. My wife and I truly can’t recommend the Parma Café enough. They served us a meal that we kept reflecting on with great fondness the rest of our trip. In fact, there is a very famous deli in Montreal called Schwartz’s which is known around the world for its amazing sandwiches. We ate there the day before and it was, indeed, good , but if I had to choose between the two, I’d eat at Parma Café hands down every time. Enjoy.

Great spot for fresh deli food and desserts. Bread is crisp and fresh. Sandwiches are tasty. Price is reasonable. Atmosphere is perfect and the staff is friendly. If you don’t have a lot of time this is great for take-out.

Super overrated and super overpriced you can find way better panini’s for less the price in so many places across Montreal.

Food is always amazing but man, is the staff incompetent. My family works in restaurants, i get it however around 25 minutes for a sandwich is a big no-no for me. There was a total of maybe 2 clients and the cook was laughing and talking the entire time. No sense of urgency. I was told it was because the sandwich needed to be place in the oven however I received it lukewarm. A little hard to believe.
