Restaurant Toucheh is a quaint little b.y.o.w. place in the 'Victoria Village' in the heart of Westmount. The kitchen is practically part of the dinning room and the atmosphere is always comfortable and cozy.
At Toucheh the warm cozy atmosphere and family run service accompany a menu that blends Persian and Italian influences. The dining experience draws praise for fresh flavorful dishes and attentive staff. Diners highlight standout items such as chencheh kebabs, pastas, lentil soup, and desserts, with brunch and BYOB noted as appealing features. The atmosphere is described as welcoming and suitable for dates or casual meals, though some critics find portions for Iranian dishes smaller than expected and a few dishes not at the same level as professional kitchen cooking, along with high prices for some items. The open kitchen and busy ambiance can be a factor, and occasional reservation hiccups have occurred but were addressed. Parking can be a hassle on certain visits. Overall the restaurant is regarded as one of the better Persian options in the area, with a charming setting and a mix of flavors that invites return visits.
Excellent restaurant with delicious food options. You can choose between Italian or Iranian food. The Iranian dishes are served in smaller portions than expected.
Cozy vibe, good service, & almost full for a Monday night. We tried 3 different pasta dishes & they were all very tasty! The Tiramisu is a must to try !

Had brunch here for the first time today with friends. We all loved our dishes. I had eggs (with dates, walnuts, cinnamon) , friend had Persian-style mini beef patties, another had the oatmeal bowl. Amazing flavours. Lots of care & attention put into the food. Persian inspired, super fresh, delicious tea, coffee, great service, great atmosphere. Family run.
I went here for lunch & the menu is really interesting with some very original dishes. I had the Green Muse which is a pan-fried Persian herb frittata prepared with eggs, walnuts & Barberies. Very nice presentation & I enjoyed the meal. I'm very curious to try it for supper.
They also give you tea throughout the meal. Parking was a hassle though, sadly it was raining & I could not go by bike but if you can avoid driving.
Excellent service, delicious, fresh food… but way, way too expensive for a bring-your-own-wine restaurant. The dishes are very good, but priced at least $15-$20 above what they should be priced at. No way a shrimp pasta should be $47. They won't last with these new prices
I never enjoyed the food & atmosphere like that! Perfect taste, fresh food, cozy & warm place. Exceptional experience for me as a picky foody person. We ordered Lamb chops & stuffed chicken with pasta. Both dishes were perfectly made, very tasty. Good size portion, reasonable wait between appetizer & food. Very welcoming staff. Thank you for this amazing experience on my birthday Touché.

My best ever restaurant experience in Montreal. A very cozy place in Westmont with delicious dishes, welcoming staff & calm ambient. I ordered lamb chops with spaghetti which was out of my expectations, flavorful food, nice presentation. Their garlicky spaghetti dances in your mouth & Lamb chops was in another level. Their menu is a combination of Italian & Persian dishes & you can enjoy the best of those two food cultures.
A cozy classy neighborhood restaurant of many years(30+). Friendly staff, impeccable service! We all enjoyed our dishes, salmon, grilled chicken thighs on saffron rice, scalloping pincatta, lentil soup, salad, chocolate cake & ice cream with coffee . A very pleasant dining experience!
The Persian & pasta dishes are absolutely delicious. I had egg plants & my colleagues had salmon & lamb dishes & we're all satisfied. The lunch menu include appetizer, main dish, & coffee or tea. Cozy place & very friendly service, & they just renovated the place. A must try!
This place is a standout gem in Montreal! We had the pleasure of savoring both Iranian & Italian dishes, & they were an absolute delight. The staff here is exceptionally friendly & demonstrates a high level of professionalism. Our overall experience was fantastic, & we can't wait to return for another delightful visit. Don't forget to try their tiramisu.

TOUSHEH restaurant in Montreal is a hidden gem! The Persian dishes were bursting with flavor, the service was excellent, & the ambiance was warm & inviting. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience!
My wife & I & three teenagers were mildly pleased with the food at Toucheh. Although the service was good (two scaloppini dishes & three penne dishes), our concern with the evening occurred after we had completed our meals. My Visa card, which I have used successfully without exception in Canada & many other different countries, was not accepted because the waiter stated that the card machine only worked with a PIN number, which my Visa card did not require. After I had to leave my family in the restaurant & withdraw money from an ATM a block away, & gave the waiter cash at his register for the bill that required about $50 in change, he did not give me change but insisted that I tell him what tip I would give him. I said a $15 tip, which was about 10% because of my embarrassing walk to the ATM & what I thought was less than exceptional food taking into account the price. He then gave me $15 in change! After I protested, he returned $25 saying that I should pay 15% - I "agreed" but with the intention of not returning again. In the circumstances I think that I should have had the option to decide on the tip myself.
