Tout était très bon. Nous avons apprécié la cuisine perse ainsi que le service fait par une dame & un chef fort sympathiques. Ils m'ont de plus servi des plats sans gluten.

Good authentic persian food. Ash (soup) & Safran ice cream are a must. Main dishes not as tasty as expected. The menu is a little limited. Too bad they don't offer a wider choice of those celebrated iranian stews (fessenjoon & many others). The setting is small & nice. The large TV screen is a turn off for me... Price range is OK but limit towards the quality offered. Will come back, but still am looking for that real persian home taste.

Restaurant Yas is one of my very favourite restaurants in Montreal. The only things better than the food are the service & decor. The restaurant is very charming, it has the appeal of a wine cellar - earth-tone brick, stone & tile. About 3m from the entrance is a depanneur where you can buy beer & wine to enjoy with your meal. All the usual soft drinks are available at Yas, as well as excellent coffee & tea. The staff are friendly & welcoming. They have quite a good selection of tasty Persian food. If you enjoy desserts they have a good selection, although I've never made it further on the menu than the baklava, which is excellent. I recommend trying Restaurant Yas; street parking is available, or use Metro Vendome.
