We had an amazing experience at this cozy café! The Ashe Reshte & Mirza Ghasemi were absolutely delicious. The dishes were freshly prepared & full of warmth, just like home-cooked meals. The staff were incredibly friendly & attentive, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a place with great food & welcoming service, this café is a must-visit!
Amazing! Nice people, great coffee (try Persian latte). Nice decor - modern & still very Persian. They have games. We were party of 3 & we played few rounds of cards. We'll be back!

Lovely little Persian cafe serving homemade desserts & specialty coffees. The inviting atmosphere, friendly staff & unique beverage options like "baklava lattes" make this an excellent choice for a break.
Amazing saffron & pistachio ice cream, saffron latte was balanced & good too! Will definitely try the cakes on my next visit! We sat outside, very nice ambience. Totally Recommend & very friendly staff
This was one of the best experiences I've had at a Persian café in Montreal. The venue is fully accessible & accommodating for people with disabilities & those using assistive devices. The accessible washroom was a particularly nice touch. The café also features a charming patio & a cozy indoor ambiance. I visited on a rainy day & arrived much earlier than my scheduled meeting with a friend. Despite being a first-time customer, I was treated like an old friend. The quality of the coffee, tea, & food was excellent, & the prices were very reasonable. I tried their Persian coffee, Persian tea, & mirza ghasemi, all of which were delightful. What stood out most to me was their hospitality-they had no issue with me sitting there for a couple of hours before my friend arrived. They ensured I was comfortable, even providing access to a power outlet so I could work on my laptop. They struck the perfect balance between attentive care & giving me the privacy I needed to feel at ease. They even went above & beyond by assisting me to the washroom, which I found incredibly considerate. When I thanked them, they responded warmly, saying, "Don't mention it; we're here for you." This is definitely a place I'll be returning to, & I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Persian food, a warm ambiance, & an accessible space in the heart of Old Port Montreal.
This place was such a delight. If you're going to the Vieux Port de Montréal, I suggest starting here. Lots of street parking. Super kind, friendly, & generous service, reflective of Persian hospitality. We were made to feel right at home, including our pup 😍 The decor is lovely; they have an upstairs & a street terrace. The Persian latte is absolutely delicious! The pistachio cake is very comforting & clearly homemade. They also have meals & lots of sweets & drinks to choose from. Would return

**Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)** I recently had the pleasure of dining at Best Restaurant, & it truly lives up to its name. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm & inviting atmosphere. The decor is modern yet cozy, creating a perfect ambiance for any occasion. **Service:** The staff at Best were exceptional. They were attentive, friendly, & knowledgeable about the menu. Our server made excellent recommendations & ensured that our dining experience was smooth & enjoyable.
Cozy & cute little café that offers Persian coffee, food & sweet delicacies. I had the pleasure to try their Persian latte & their Mint cake on a rainy day. Perfect duo, the cake was not too sweet - perfectly balanced. I am looking forward to try their food! Absolutely love the décor in this café & the Persian touch in every detail. Highly recommend & very proud of this business showcasting Persian culture throughout every delicious bite.
Charmant petit salon de thé perse très différent des cafés que j'ai l'habitude de visiter. J'ai eu l'occasion de goûter un latte floral ainsi qu'un excellent gâteau aux saveurs orientales. Le lieu est tout petit avec 2 tables ainsi que 2 autres endroits pour s'asseoir aux fenêtres. Cela crée une ambiance intimiste, mais j'ai moins apprécié le fait que la pièce était si calme que le barista pouvait entendre toute ma conversation. Malgré tout, j'ai passé un bon moment surtout qu'il avait des petits jeux disponibles à côté de nous.
Toutes mes attentes ont été dépassées le service, la nourriture est excellente l'atmosphère tres agréable.. all my expectations are exceeded the food the service wow I really recommend
