Café Parfums de Perse is described as a warm, cozy, family run spot with a contemporary yet traditional Persian ambiance, offering authentic Northern Iranian dishes such as Fesenjan, Mirza Ghasemi and Baghali Ghatogh, and a dessert and drink lineup including saffron cake, pistachio cake, baklava and the Persian latte that many find memorable; reviewers praise the welcoming staff, the homely decor, and the option to relax with board games, but also note that prices can be high for portion size and a few dishes can be inconsistent in flavor or experience, with some comments about the billing and a few service missteps; overall it comes across as a charming, authentic Persian experience where the desserts and drinks shine and the atmosphere makes it a popular spot for brunch, casual meals, or a casual hangout, and many emphasize that the hospitality and family run feel contribute to a memorable visit.
A calm, warm space with warm, elegant Iranian design that feels completely contemporary.
It's the kind of place where time slows down where sitting with friends or family, sipping your favorite drink, actually feels nourishing.
& if you're lucky enough to catch their pumpkin cake, pistachio cake, or saffron cake… don't think twice.
Fresh, comforting, & quietly unforgettable.
The food carries the soul of Northern Iran from rich Fesenjoon to comforting Baghali Ghatogh or smoky Mirza Ghassemi.
Simple, honest flavors that feel like home.
A place to relax, recharge, & leave a little happier than you arrived.

You can find the real taste of Persian food (Gilaki - Caspian Sea) here. The owner is a lovely Nobel family who they are always friendly & open to all comments & guests. They love pets specially dogs & always have a surprise for your dogs, Strongly recommended!
This is my favourite Persian café/restaurant in Montreal. It's a family-owned place run by some of the nicest people I've ever met. Every dish I've tried here has been amazing I definitely recommend it!
I feel so welcome anytime I come here. The owners are the sweetest family! I love that it's so versatile - a great place to study, hang out over board games, drink, have a meal. & anything on their menu is sure to be amazing :-)
Lovely family owned restaurant. I only stopped by for desserts & fell in love with it that I want to return for lunch.
A must try is the saffron ice cream !!!🍦
Absolutely amazing Persian restaurant! Delicious food, great vibes, & the kindest, most generous owner who treats guests like family. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience! Authentic Persian food, heavenly cakes, real Persian tea, & ice cream. The warm, family-like atmosphere makes you feel right at home. One of my best dining experiences! 🌿🍰☕🍦
We went for new year, it felt like family!
Food was sooo tasty 😋 & we really enjoyed it 😍
Staff are so friendly & welcoming & the vibes of restaurants is amazing 🤩
Can't wait to go there again soon & spoil ourselves with amazing hospitality & food 😊
Incredible hospitality & service. Delicious, authentic, food. Beautiful, intimate, bustling space. I was fortunate to eat here on a visit to Montreal & it's on my go-to list for every future visit. They have a small kitchen so when braised menu items are sold out, they're done - so go earlier in the evening if you have a specific menu item in mind. Massive congratulations to the family owners who make every customer feel so welcome.
This family-run café feels incredibly welcoming & homey. The food is delicious, flavorful & homemade. The attentive staff especially Saba which is the best host, consistently checked on us, offering tea & even suggesting board games. The unique nostalgic décor adds to the charming atmosphere. Highly recommended!

This place is a wonderful family-operated business. Each individual member of this family is welcoming, warm, hospitable 😍all the food tastes incredibly delicious, fresh & unforgettable 😋 the ambiance was very cozy. If I wasn't worried about loitering, I would have preferred to stay longer to chat with them & enjoy their delicious food. I highly recommend for both locals & visitors to try at least once & see that they will become one of their loyal customers🥰
Really outstanding Persian food just outside the touristy section of Montreal. The food was delicious & authentic. Small family business & the host - the daughter - was charming. Highly recommended.

I liked the vibes. The business is run by the family. They are very kind & caring. They have homemade traditional saffron ice-cream. So delicious. The owner offered me the slush drink for free while I was waiting for my friend. I got a dish to go! It was packed with care not to spill. I liked the experience & recommend it.
Lovely, family-owned café with personable service & homemade food - I've been a returning customer since their previous location. Their pistachio ice cream is the best one I've tried!
A hidden gem in Old Port. This is an amazing Persian café run by a lovely family that successfully shares their cultures taste buds in everything they make. It's homely & comforting, & not to mention delicious.
We stopped in the week after they opened here. The family who operates this café are very warm & friendly. We didn't know what to order so they made great suggestions for us. We had a lamb dish in traditional spices served along side a basmati type rice. It was delicious. The tea served after our meal was exceptional as well as a house made pistachio cake. We can't wait to go back!
