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.
I'd love to share my experience of visiting this café with you. It's a very beautiful place with an amazing atmosphere, a great food menu, & a truly delicious breakfast. I highly recommend that anyone living in Montreal or visiting Montreal stop by & experience this wonderful vibe. The owner is also very kind & welcoming, which made the experience even better.
I had a few bites of the ghormeh sabzi & couldn't finish it because it tasted very bitter & burnt. When I politely brought up my concerns, the man just looked at me without saying anything, no apology, no offer to replace the dish, & no refund. I ended up paying full price for a meal I couldn't eat.
I had an incredible experience at Perfume of Persia. This place is truly something special. It's run by the most amazing, welcoming couple who clearly put their heart into everything they do.
The food is exceptional-everything tastes homemade, fresh, & thoughtfully prepared.
Places like this are rare, & it's clear they've created something built on passion, pride, & love for what they do. Highly recommended.
Suoer cozy spot with delicious food! The owner was very welcoming & gave us great recommendations for food & side dish pairings. I had the persian fog which was deliciously aromatic. The fesenjan was tender & the pomegranate sauce tangy & delicious! We also ordered ghormeh sabzi, & it was tangy & savoury in the best way. The two dishes with generous helpings of saffron rice & a creamy side of yoghurt made for a amazing meal. I look forwards to coming back the next time I'm in Montreal.
If you want a full immersive experience of Iran in Montreal, I highly recommend Parfum de Perse. From the colorful Persian carpets & beautiful decor to the traditional music playing in the background, everything makes you feel transported into Persian culture.
The food is absolutely delicious, authentic, & made with great quality ingredients. Beyond the food, the hospitality is what truly stands out - warm, welcoming, & generous in the true Persian way. It's not just a restaurant, it's a cultural experience. A perfect place for anyone who wants to discover Iranian culture through atmosphere, flavors, & genuine hospitality.

Gâteau au safran vraiment super bon ! Le salé est très copieux aussi 😁 leur latte est cool, mais pas mind blowing non plus. Le service est au top par contre ! ! L'ambiance est super chouette ✨
On en a eu pour 106$ pour 2 personnes en tout.
Les kebabs étaient absolument délicieux, parfaitement grillés & très savoureux.
Le mirza ghassemi était exceptionnel, riche en goût & authentique.
Le mast-o-borani était frais & parfaitement équilibré.
Le zeytoon parvardeh était excellent, très raffiné & plein de saveurs.

wonderful owner, very welcoming & warm. They have multiples vegetarian options for meals. Very filling. The labneh was delicious & enhanced the flavour so much. The persian fog was a bit subtle in flavour for my taste, but it was made with a lot of love. The place has a lot of board games available for people to enjoy, & they also offer alcoholic drinks too. i think it would be a cute date spot. Have yet to try their desserts but they look delicious so i will definitely come back!
I don't usually write reviews, but I felt this experience needed to be shared. I came to meet friends who had already been told that outside food wasn't allowed. We respected the rule, & every single person in the group ordered something, drinks, cakes, or both.
Despite that, we felt watched the entire time. The owner's reaction to a small piece of baklava in a tupperware created an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere that overshadowed the fact that we were paying customers. The constant angry staring from behind the counter made us feel unwelcome rather than appreciated.
We ended up leaving early & continuing our meetup elsewhere. Unfortunately, this isn't a place I plan to return to.
