today we're visiting our friends to the north, a charming little cafe in downtown montreal, canada -- welcome to the very lovely cafe parvis, an eclectic urban oasis decorated with a collection of mismatched vintage dining chairs, a pretty outdoor patio, and a casual, plant-filled atmosphere serving gourmet pizza, beautiful house salads, and creative appertivo to share with friends. we're going to cozy up to that beautiful marble bar for a delicious dejeuner — salade niçoise and a glass of bubbly in our favorite look — fancy but paired down.
