Café Parfums de Perse offre une ambiance chaleureuse et accueillante qui mêle culture persane et esprit de café contemporain, avec des latte persans, des gâteaux à la pistache et au safran, du baklava et d autres desserts souvent décrits comme divins et joliment présentés. Les plats tels que Dizi Abgoosht, Baghali Polo au jarret d'agneau, Fesenjan, Mirza Ghasemi et Ghormeh Sabzi témoignent de saveurs authentiques et faites maison, préparées avec soin, tandis que l'endroit familial et le personnel chaleureux invitent à rester pour jouer à des jeux de société et profiter de l'ambiance cosy. Si les critiques soulignent globalement la qualité et l'accueil, certaines remarques évoquent des prix élevés pour les desserts et certains plats, des incohérences ponctuelles dans le goût, ainsi que des améliorations possibles au niveau du service et du bruit. Dans l'ensemble, Café Parfums de Perse est présenté comme une halte incontournable pour goûter une cuisine persane authentique à Montréal, avec une expérience conviviale et réconfortante.
My husband & I came here two nights in a row on a recent weekend trip to Montreal. The food is delicious (especially the saffron cake!) & everyone who works here is so kind & welcoming. I definitely plan to come back the next time I'm in town.

Extremely warm welcome. Great service. First time trying Persian food & it was so good. Must try coconut cake, the tea & the persian latte. The gheyme was good too. But my favorite was the tea with cake. Much love to the amazing owners for the great experience❤?❤?
I recently visited Parfums de Perse with my Québécois friend, who has been learning Persian & was excited to practice with the staff. When he spoke Persian, the waitress was very impressed & kind to him, which was nice to see. However, what followed left me quite uncomfortable. In Persian, she jokingly told me,'Bravo for teaching him Persian, I hope we can destroy their language.' She repeated it twice, & even the cashier later made a similar comment. I was genuinely surprised-why would we talk about'destroying' the language of the country we live in? Language is about connection & respect, & I can't imagine how my friend would have felt if he had understood their remarks.
As for the food, I ordered Pan kebab, which was decent, & Ash, which was delicious. We also had two cakes & two lattes, both of which were very good. However, another odd experience happened with the bill. During our meal, the waitress insisted we try garlic pickles, & later, after we had finished our dessert, she enthusiastically offered us another type of cake: Ghotab, saying it was fresh & delicious. Her tone & warmth made it seem like a complimentary treat, so we were surprised to find everything-including the pickles & the extra cake-added to the bill. It wasn't about the $7 extra, but the way it was done left us feeling a bit manipulated.
Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the experience was mixed. While the staff was extremely friendly, the comments about language were inappropriate, & the way additional items were added to the bill felt misleading. I hope this was just a misunderstanding, but I believe a more transparent & respectful approach would make the experience better for everyone.
Très belle découverte! Les plats sont excellents & copieux. Les desserts sont très gourmands. Mention spéciale pour le baklava cake, un petit nuage plein de saveurs, L'ambiance est très chaleureuse. Hâte d'y retourner! En : Great discovery! The dishes are excellent & generous. The desserts are very decadent. Special mention for the baklava cake, a little cloud full of flavors. The atmosphere is very warm. Can't wait to go back!
Lovely Persian cafe. We had the Persian coffee & Persian fog with the saffron cake which was delicious. The baklava cake was a bit disappointing & dry but was good to try different options. They have board games which you can play while you chat with friends. Lovely cafe.
I had the pleasure of visiting Parfums de Perse Cafe for breakfast, & I'm still savouring the experience. I tried the Halim, & wow, it was the ultimate comfort dish-warm, thick, & perfectly spiced. You can tell it's made with love & traditional care, giving it an authenticity that's hard to find elsewhere. But the real surprise? Their pistachio & saffron ice cream-it's absolutely unmatched. Creamy, aromatic, & with just the right balance of saffron & pistachio. It's like a little journey to the Middle East in each bite. & then there's the pistachio cake, which is hands-down one of the best I've ever had. Moist, rich, & with a delicate nutty flavour that leaves you craving more. The staff were so kind & attentive, adding to the warm, inviting vibe of the cafe. If you're looking for an unforgettable taste experience with a personal touch, Parfums de Perse Cafe is a gem that can't be missed. I'll definitely be back soon to try more of their menu!
🍽FOOD - we ordered Ash reshte, Gheime, & walnut cake, the ash reshte & cake was amazing that we decided to order take-out as well. 👨🍳SERVICE - There are so kind & caring, & Deeba made sure that we have all we need & welcom us with a traditional drink. 🏡AMBIANCE: I really liked the design on the wall, which perfectly represents persian carpet & art. 💰VALUE - This order costs about $74 & take out about $33 for two Ash.

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!
I really love this place, last time we got the pistachio cake & the pistachio ice cream & they were SO GOOD!!! I also love that you can play board games while enjoying their drinks. I'd love to try their food next time!!

Beautiful Persian cafe near old port & downtown Montreal. Interior decorations are absolutely stunning & give me a sense of being at home in Iran. Vibes were immaculate here, 10/10. The cakes are all made in house & they were so fresh & delicious. Staff are also very friendly & happy to answer any questions. Come give them a visit!
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
Very friendly staff! They offered us a Persian cold drink while we were waiting to get a table. We tried pistachio cake & black tea, also tried the Saffron pistachio ice cream, very tasty 😊 I hope upstairs will be open soon!
Such a beautiful little gem in the city. I was so kindly & warmly welcomed, I took the pistachio cake .. oh my god . So delicious & low sugar, that's amazing ! Thank you
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
