Quelle belle découverte sur Sherbrooke Ouest! L'atmosphère est vraiment chaleureuse & accueillante. J'ai adoré m'installer à l'une des tables recouvertes de ces magnifiques nappes aux motifs colorés qui donnent un cachet unique à l'endroit.

Nous avons passé un moment très agréable à déguster des pâtisseries délicates. La petite douceur au centre, avec son motif floral travaillé, était aussi jolie que savoureuse. C'est l'endroit parfait pour une pause gourmande. J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner.

Première fois au Café Aunja & certainement pas la dernière ! Ambiance très agréable, cuisine délicieuse (j'ai pris le petit déjeuner complet) & un thé iranien divin. Je recommande vivement! Servie par Ilias avec le sourire.

This is an outstanding & unique place to visit in Montreal. The ambiance is fantastic & while it does get busy as the day goes on when we arrived at 10:00 a.m. for breakfast there were plenty of seats. The specialty drinks they have are wonderful, I had a Persian fog & my dining companion had a Persian delight. Both were superb. The Persian fog is like a London fog but with rose syrup. We had the Iranian breakfast & the combo breakfast. At first I thought this is not much food for the price but I was wrong. It is very filling. Although there are many signs that say no laptops there was one person using a laptop, the staff did not say anything perhaps when it gets busier but be mindful that you are not supposed to use a laptop in this cafe as seating is limited.

Beautiful interior decor with an authentic Persian feel. I've only tried out their smoothies & teas but they are very refreshing. Would definitely go back, mostly for the vibes.
