Café Parfums de Perse offers a warm, inviting atmosphere that blends Persian culture with a modern, cozy cafe vibe, where Persian latte, pistachio and saffron cakes, baklava and other desserts are frequently highlighted as heavenly and beautifully presented. Dishes such as Dizi Abgoosht, Baghali Polo with lamb shank, Fesenjan, Mirza Ghasemi and Ghormeh Sabzi showcase authentic flavors and thoughtful preparation, often described as homemade and comforting, with guests noting generous portions and a family run staff that makes visitors feel welcomed. The place is also loved for its games and board games that invite lingering, and for a vibe that feels like a home away from home. While the ambiance and hospitality are consistently praised, some comments mention higher prices for desserts and certain menu items, occasional inconsistency in taste, and a need for improvements in service during busy times.View restaurant profile

Overall, La Méd - Resto Café is described as a warm Mediterranean spot with hearty bowls and fresh salads, friendly service, and a welcoming vibe that many reviewers feel offers solid value and healthy options. Some dishes receive standout praise, including the grilled Tunisian salad and falafel with tabouleh, and Lebanese-inspired bowls, while others fall short with flavors in hummus, tzatziki, and dressings and at times menu gaps like shakshuka. Ramadan iftar nights and other visits are noted for a great atmosphere and generous portions when service runs smoothly, though delays and inconsistency appear in some reviews. Sustainability concerns about serving in cardboard bowls are raised, but the overall impression is of a cozy neighborhood cafe with a vibrant Mediterranean vibe and attentive staff.View restaurant profile
