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.
The lentil soup here was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is described as an Italian & Persian restaurant, but the pasta I tried was a bit underwhelming. The lamb chops were good. I would be open to returning in order to try different plates.
It offers a very charming & cosy setting that is great for a date night or dinner with friends.

The food is delicious. I appreciate the integration of Italian & Persian food. They are both extremely delicious menus! It was rather easy to get a table, although there were a reasonable amount of people. The owner is quite friendly. I like the location of the restaurant. It feels very peaceful!
I recently dined at Toucheh, Iranian-Italian restaurant . The cozy atmosphere, hand-made pasta with Persian spices, & tender grilled meats with an Italian twist were amazing. Service was friendly. If you're looking for a unique fusion of flavors, Toucheh is a must-visit. I'll definitely go back! 💯
A Cozy Italian Treat! I had a great time at Toucheh! This cute little place has a warm feel, perfect for a nice meal. We started with a tasty antipasto platter, then enjoyed homemade lasagna & Scallopini Piccata-both really good! The chocolate cake for dessert was amazing! The staff was friendly & attentive. I highly recommend Toucheh if you want delicious Italian food in a cozy spot! 🍝❤️
Persian & Italian? I get why, but really? Perfect one over the other. Ok, it was a Monday night at 7 pm that we went to eat. There were a few, 4 to be exact, tables of customers, but the server, 1, could have been more attentive. We asked that a second bottle of wine be kept cold. Instead, she opened it. We were then forced to drink it. As for the food...it was tasty but the portions are small. I had the Joojeh Chicken Kebab. It was served with soup or salad, onions that hid the chicken, saffron rice & an undercooked grilled tomato. The chicken was tasty & well cooked, but there was hardly any chicken. Like I said, it was smothered in sauted onions to hide the lack of chicken. The rice was really good & the tiny salad was delicious. I wanted more. My partner had the lamb shank. He said it was good but not enough. In summary, for the price you pay ...the portions are tiny. Will we go back? Probably not. There are many other Persian restaurants that give bigger portions & are more economical.

I would even give 10 stars if it were available ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👌🏻 One of the best dining experiences I have had. The food & service were super excellent. Everything was great from start to finish.The manager was so polite & kind & also staff were very friendly. I will recommend this restaurant to my friend & others who ask me where the best Persian/Italian restaurant in Montreal is ☺️
Got the chicken mushroom pesto pasta. It was a little salty for my liking. The mushrooms still tasted raw. I wish it overall had a bit more texture to it. No offer of parmesan or pepper like other Italian places. My friend enjoyed her salmon dish. Friendly, pleasant service. Took ages to get our bills even though we were the last people in the restaurant. Byow is always a plus.
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.
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.
The food is excellent & the service, while slow when busy, is extremely polite.
You can't really blame the slow service on anyone. The food is prepared to perfection & it is a very small kitchen. Putting more staff would only dilute the art of their chef.
One of the best Italian food places in Montreal with a touch of Persian influence.
