Known around the world for their wonderfully exotic culture, their fabulous cuisine and their heart-felt sense of hospitality, the people of Persia (modern-day Iran) sure have a lot to be proud of.
Quartier Perse is described as a warm, family run Persian restaurant with consistently high quality, delicious food, generous portions and fair prices, where dishes such as lamb zeresh, chenjeh, koobideh and other kebabs are noted for flavor and tenderness along with comforting rice and soups. The atmosphere is cozy and homey, and the staff and owner are repeatedly praised for being attentive, welcoming and down to earth, creating a sense of hospitality that makes guests feel at home and eager to return for celebrations or casual meals. The BYOB option is appreciated by many, and the restaurant is frequently cited as among the best Persian places in Montreal and Canada. Occasional busy nights during festivals or weekends are mentioned, with the service described as generally good and sometimes slower when the dining room is full, but never detracting from the overall positive impression. Some readers suggest expanding vegan options and updating the website or menu, yet the consensus remains that Quartier Perse offers authentic Persian cuisine, warm service and an inviting atmosphere that draws repeat visits with family and friends.
This was our first time eating Persian food, & definitely not the last! It was an excellent & delicious first experience. Every plate was absolutely delicious. Super flavorful, with a great variety of textures & tastes. The service was also very good, & we felt very welcomed. The ambiance was lovely as well. It's a great place to go eat with friends & family & enjoy a good conversation accompanied by delicious food. We are looking forward to going back.

Such an amazing experience. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember, maybe over 10 years. The quality of food is always consistent & tastes delicious, the atmosphere is unique, & the service is incredible. The owner is the nicest lady ever!!! Cannot recommend more. 10/10 experience
Hands down one of the best Persian restaurants in Montreal. I went there for iftar, & it was such a beautiful experience. The owner is the sweetest woman, so warm & genuinely hospitable. She made us feel so welcome, like we were guests in her own home. The food was comforting, flavorful, & made with so much care. You can truly feel the love in every dish.
Absolutely amazing. My new love olives with pomegranate & walnuts WHAT ? AMAZING. Ask fo Nuisha say Uzzy sent you. Take a deep breath & have Persian Food ALSO BYOB PERFECT 👍🏾🫶🏾👌🏾
Chenjeh was the highlight of the night so juicy & tender. I'd say my favorite persian restaurant in Montreal! We got table dish for two & it was more than enough, it came with salad/soup, tea & baghlava for both person!
The staff were very friendly & kind! Would definitely go back!!
Il manque d'attention envers les clients. Mon ami avait dû mal à se tenir debout en raison d'un mal de dos, mais on n'a pas pu attendre le taxi à l'intérieur. On a du rester dans le froid...

The staff & the food were excellent!!! We had our staff party here & it was absolutely perfect. Definitely recommend passing by for a family dinner, a friends get together or even a date night!
I have been going to this place for the past 25 years. Its a family owned restaurant with very dedicated owners. We were 6 couples last night & booked a table for 12. The restaurant is usually fully booked during Friday & Saturday nights & last night was jam packed as in addition to being a Saturday night, it was also Yalda (festival celebrating the winter solstice). I noticed an extra 2 waitresses which I presume the owner brought in to compensate for the packed house. I think that is why I didn't notice a delay in their service (now one has to realize that this not a fast food place so expecting quick services as in fast food joints is just not reasonable). The entree, main course & dessert with tea, all came during normal wait time. After dessert, the small area in front of their kitchen was turned into a small dance floor & people were dancing until about 11:00 o'clock, after which we left. The bill for myself & my wife came to about $70-80, which I think is very reasonable for the service, food & pleasant atmosphere.
Good food & friendly staffs. I noticed 12 customers ordered only 6 meals & wrote bad reviews. My family & our friends come here often since 1990. The restaurant was fully booked tonight.
