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!

I had an amazing experience at Parfume de Pers! The Persian food was incredibly delicious, with perfectly cooked kabobs & flavorful ghormeh sabzi. Their Persian ice cream is the best in town-creamy with saffron & pistachios. The cakes in different flavors were also fantastic. The staff was so friendly & welcoming, making the cozy atmosphere even better. Highly recommend!
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!
This cozy café in Old Port Montreal is a must-visit! The warm, inviting vibe makes it the perfect place to relax. The Persian food is delicious & full of flavor, & their selection of sweet pastries is amazing. Highly recommend for a great meal or a casual coffee!

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.
Personale molto gentile e cordiale, questo Café ristorante è un'ottima opzione se si vuole andare a mangiare persiano. Cibo squisito, tant'è che penso ritorneremo a breve. Prezzi giusti, abbiamo speso 20/25€ a testa.
Unfortunately I cannot say great things about this place even though I had gone expecting it to be great as the reviews implied. The service is friendly but the savory dishes bombed 100%. They lacked flavor & the meat was either too oily or too dry. We were a group of middle eastern ladies so maybe our taste-buds are a little more discerning & expected more flavor. We have all been to other Persian places that did a better job with the savory food. The desserts were the only thing we liked. I think I would come back for the board games with desserts & tea but I wouldn't come back for their savory food. The place is on two floors but the upper floor was closed with only us & two other small tables as customers on a Wednesday evening.
Best authentic Persian breakfast ever. Super fresh & delicious food, cozy atmosphere, run by the sweetest people. Thank you for such a lovely morning! ❤️
