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.
We had Iranian brunch here & it was a great experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, & very authentic, exactly what you expect from a proper Persian brunch. Portions were generous & everything tasted homemade. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the staff were friendly & attentive. Definitely a nice spot if you're craving Iranian food, especially for brunch. Highly recommended.
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.

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.
One of the best Persian restaurants in Montreal!
I tried the Bakhtiari & it was incredibly tasty, tender, & delicious 😋 the quality of the food really stood out. Please note that it's bring your own wine which makes the experience even better. I've heard they also serve breakfast & Halim on weekends, which I'm excited to try next time. I'll definitely will come back!
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.
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!
The restaurant has a nice atmosphere & helpful staff. The food is also good & has Persian style (although with some differences in some cases). Overall, very recommended.

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! 💯
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 ☺️

I'm disappointed at this restaurant. We came with a group for some Persian food. I've been to other Persian restaurants & quite honestly it doesn't measure up. The place is nice & cute but the ventilation is horrible, we left smelling like food. BYOB is also a good idea. We asked for soup, they could only serve two of us( & we were a group of ten) The dish my husband had was good, it was an eggplant with eggs & tomatoes... I took the veal, ( Chelo Mahicheh)The meat had no taste, full of spices/ onions & the rice was a big failure. How can a Persian restaurant fail in making good-rice? Very disappointed Wont be coming back... sorry!
First time in this neighborhood restaurant & I have to say, I was very pleased with the experience. This is not a large space but with its high ceilings, natural light, open concept kitchen & the jazzy soundtrack in the background it made for a very cozy atmosphere. The menu is straightforward & simple, the food was delicious, tasty & fresh, with a Persian cuisine influence. The service was courteous & efficient. Fairly priced which becomes something rare these days. If you're in Westmount & looking for a good, not pretentious restaurant, I strongly recommend Toucheh.

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.
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!
We went to this restaurant for the first time after a friend recommended them to us. We were definitely not disappointed. Their food tastes amazing, the ambience is great, & the chef & staff are kind & attentive. If you want to experience Persian hospitality & a delicious Persian dish presented in a familiar style, this is the place to go!
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!
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.
