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.
Parfums de Perse is a delightful local gem. On our trip here we have enjoyed a handful of flavorful spiced vegetarian dishes, & loved the beverages including persian fog, london fog, & ice in heaven. We also liked the handmade ice cream with spices & enjoyed the cozy but stylish middle-eastern atmosphere. Above all the service has been so friendly, accommodating, & makes me want to return again & again!
I've been to this café with a few coworkers & friends so that they could try a persian café & all of them loved it. Great food & drink options. The service deserves 5 stars. Will definitely come back soon :)

Pour moi, jusqu'à présent, le meilleur restaurant iranien de Montréal. Tout y est délicieux. & alors la glace au safran..je n'ai pas de mots, c'est un vrai régal, tellement parfumée. Le personnel est accueillant & très aimable. L'endroit est chaleureux, en plus d'être bien situé. Concernant les prix, je les trouve très corrects quand on sait ce que vaut le safran. Vraiment, j'y suis retournée & j'y retournerai encore.
This place is a Gem, found it by just walking around the neighborhood & fell in love with the ambiance the amazing service & great variety of Persian food desserts & treats. Highly Recommend

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.

An absolute gem in the city! Amazing service & even better food & drinks. The saffron & pistachio ice cream is unforgettable & you MUST try the Persian latte!
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!
Ce café familial propose une expérience culinaire unique où vous pourrez embarquer pour un voyage gustatif. Un incontournable pour les amateurs de cuisine originale & d'ambiance chaleureuse !
It is a hidden gem in Montreal. We just happened to walk past it & got attracted by its ambience. Tried the'Ice in Heaven' drink &'Ash'. Loved both of them. Service & hospitality was top notch.

Had an amazing lunch here today. We went with a few work colleagues & were are not very familiar with this cuisine. The food was really delicious & the service was on point. I recommend the Ash soup ( hearty with veggies, noodles, lentils & beans) & the Persian Slushi! Looking forward to our next visit 😀
Stopped for a coffee & had an amazing breakfast dish called Mira Ghasemi, eggplant & eggs. Wonderful atmosphere & great service. Highly recommend checking out if you in Old Port.
