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.
From the moment we entered the restaurant, we were met with unprofessional behavior from the management, which made the experience very unpleasant for us. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was also unsatisfactory; the kebabs were undercooked, & the bread served as an appetizer was completely dry & stale.
In addition, three empty butter containers were placed on our table along with the bread & butter box, which clearly showed they had been taken from a previous customer's table & brought to us without proper attention-something that is very concerning from a hygiene standpoint.
Finally, we were asked to give a tip without our consent, which was also very unprofessional & uncomfortable.
Overall, this experience was not satisfactory at all, & we expected at least basic standards of service & respect toward customers to be maintained.
We had made reservations for my brother in laws birthday.
We had such a wonderful & memorable time.
The appetizers, the main dish were deeeeeeelicious. Quality food, generous quantity, priced very fair.
Satisfaction guaranteed 👌.
I know we are going back again for more Persian Culinary at its best.
Thank you to all the staff & special thanks to the Chef 👩?🍳.

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
I had a very decent meal in Quartier Perse. The service was well & the atmosphere was pleasant. As you order, a welcome bread & butter platter is served. Bread is not freshly baked but alright. For main course, I ordered lamb shank with bean rice. The quality & portion were great.
I went there yesterday with a group of friends, the staff were friendly & the food was high quality. Will go back again definitely
Ps. They have one of best Dough
This restaurant is a discovery. I have a friend that talk about it for several years & we finally had an event & it was delicious. Don't go there for the presentation or the look of the place, go for the service & the quality of the food! The staff was most welcoming & very helpful. Order & share the meals because it's all really tasty!

Hi The service was good but the food quality was dispointing specially the Barg in the soltani Hope this comment will help to have better quality or at least try Merci
I've tried this place three times, & each time the quality of the food, specifically the Koobideh, was inconsistent. The first time it was awesome, the second time it was inedible. However, due to the positive experience the first time, I gave it another chance, but unfortunately, they disappointed me again with a super mediocre Koobideh. Overall, it's definitely not a place I would recommend, especially for someone trying Persian food for the first time.
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.
The kebab koobideh was ok a little too dry, My friend had kebab barg & she didn't like it that much,compre the quality it was too expensive. Nice people & atmosphere
We did takeout & since I'm half Iranian & from Toronto where we have the best Persian food, I can say that this is definitely the best koobideh (juicy & tasty) & Persian food in Montreal, we'll definitely be going back, everything was fresh & good quality & tasty, & they were very nice & gave us an extra side complimentary & extra tomatoes. The takeout was packaged very clean & nice & easy to carry out too - it was still juicy & hot & great after driving it home. I'm really happy that I finally tried this place & found a good Persian restaurant in Montreal, the only one I will ever eat at again. I gave it a 5 for Montreal but because it's the best in Montreal, but comparing it to California or Toronto - which has the best Persian food in the world... it would have gotten a 3.5.
Food is usually great but not alway same quality , I keep asking well cook but they don't listen & waitress's blame the kitchen for Not reading the requests , love the female owner Miss Mahin She's amazing .
High-quality delicious Persian dishes. The staff were super welcoming & friendly. Great atmosphere. They made our special dinner more special & memorable. Highly recommend the restaurant for foody people!

The quality of food was okay, but horrible experience. First of all we ordered "Ash Reshteh" BUT they bring us a stupid "unknown soup" then we waited for more than one hour to get our order which was not acceptable because other tables which came after us, got their order earlier. Also we were waiting for 30 minute just for getting our tea & finally after three times mentioning to them we got our TEA. Another problem was that my wife saw a "Centipede" inside of restaurant but none of personnel cares about the situation. & worst of all """""""""Mandatory tip on their machine!"""""""
