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.
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.
Very good atmosphere, friendly staff, generous portions. Scrumptious food, very good service & best place for gatherings. Bring your own wine & spend fun time with friends & family. Totally recommend
We had a wonderful family dinner here & everything was amazing. The service was warm, attentive, & welcoming. All dishes we ordered was truly delicious. Highly recommend

What a SERVICE! Wow!!
I'm honestly speechless - I was treated like royalty! The filet mignon was absolutely incredible, cooked to perfection & full of authentic flavor. The ambiance is warm, welcoming, & full of good vibes - it really feels like a family gathering. I couldn't be happier with my experience! Highly recommend!
New neighborhood for me & explored a BYOB & luckily this place was one!! The food was excellent & the service felt like it was all a big family with nice people serving you food
We went for dinner last night with the family & had a wonderful time. We were greeted by our server with a smile & walkthrough of the menu items. We all settled on Kababs (Barg, Joujeh, & Koubideh) served fresh off the grill with generous portions & a basket of toasted pitas. The staff was extremely friendly & regularly checked in on us. I would highly recommend the restaurant to anyone interested in authentic Persian cuisine.

The Food is soooo Authentic & Delicious that my son who is extremely picky loves it. The Obsession with all of the sides that just make the Mains shine is truly a work of art. Thank you to the wonderful family who have fed us from their hearts.
I saw the reviews & pictures before, but doesn't do the food justice. My first time at a Persian restaurant & I will definitely be back. Best kababs I've ever had! Pictutres here are the barg & koubideh, better than the stew IMO & I'm not a kebab person usually so that's saying something. The marinated olives in pomegranate & walnut, OMG! (Zaitun parvardeh). Even the salad & soup were delicious. The tea is a must. The only reason for not 5 star across the board is the ambiance/déco but it's about the food for me. It gave cabane a sucre vibes which was fun & family style but not overly romantic or fancy. Again that doesn't take away from the quality of food! Parking was pleasantly easy off a side street, & right next to villa Maria metro stop.
Really good homemade like food. It's one of the best lamb shank dishes I have tried. It's a totally recommended place to with family & have a good meal.
