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.
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!
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
Back here once again!
Never had a bad meal.or service here.
Now they are starting a brunch menu cab not wait to try it.
My go to favorite restaurant!

My favorite restaurants by far in Montreal
Great food any meal
e have enjoyed this restaurant several times a year. I called last Wednesday evening to book a table for Saturday at 7 pm, for a special anniversary.They called back & I returned their call & my reservation was confirmed.Upon arrival needless no reservation nor table available.We left our name & number for some one to call us back & needless to say no one has called.Extremely disappointed,thought management was classier than this.
The management did call me back in the last two days & after investigating offered us a compensation to amend fir the error.This does show how classy they are & human error happens.
We t back March 2020 a superb meal once again

There are many things to appreciate about this bistro, others we were not super excited about. I would probably try it again if I lived in the area, but will not do a detour for it.
What we liked: the nice, young lady who served us, the coziness of the place, the lentil soup & the lamb shank, the BYOB formula.
What was OK: the eggplant pasta, the side veggies that seem a bit of an afterthought. A bit expensive but that is usually the case in BYOB restaurants as they need to make a good profit on the food itself.
What could be improved: salad included in the meal is tiny & very generic; we had to go to the kitchen at the end to find the wait staff & ask for the bill; open kitchen very close to the dining area with a lot of noise & smells; a few words in French (Bonjour, Merci) would go a long way to make Québécois of all backgrounds feel welcome.
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.
Cozy place with fantastic food & great service. Hearty portions served with great taste & pride. We had chicken, lamb shank, & beef at our table , all very good. The dessert impressed us as well. I would recommend the owner to work a bit maybe on the overall atmosphere as the place needs a bit of design change , in my opinion, but not a showstopper at all as the rest is really great.
Found this place online looking for BYOW restaurants for a date night, was not disappointed. Ordered the scallopini toucheh & grilled salmon, both meals were perfectly cooked & had unreal flavour. Portions were decent & the creme brule was also a good size. The chef takes pride in his work & it shows. Will come again

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! 🍝❤️

Il faut le dire ; quelle resto! WOW! Excellent service. Le goût de la nourriture était unique. Les pâtes étaient très bonnes. Le kebab Bakhtiari, avec une recette différente, était parfaitement mariné. & surtout, quel agréable propriétaire ! Très accueillant, chaleureux & poli
Toucheh taucheh toucheh ... faut avouer que le menu m'a touché, & pas dans le bon sens. Les prix du menu du souper sont nettement plus cher que la carte du midi alors que ce sont les mêmes plats. Généralement, le prix élevé du soir est justifié par un changement de menu, qui dans la plus part des cas est plus raffiné. Au pire il faut retirer le menu du midi pour ne pas donner l'impression au client de se faire arnaquer. Nous sommes allés simples sur le choix, Chenjeh, Joojeh & Bakhtiari kebab pour les indécis. Ce qu'il faut savoir c'est que ces plats sont assez piquants & ce n'est mentionné nul part. Ce n'est pas pour me déplaire mais à ce prix, je pense que c'est important de le mentionner. Le Chenjeh prétend être du filet de veau mariné, mais la force de mastication qui en est résulté de la dégustation de ces lanières de viandes m'indique que c'est loin d'être le cas. La voie qu'a emprunté le restaurant pour composer ses recettes est la voie de la simplicité. & quand on emprunte cette voie, qui est ma fois très risquée, il faut s'assurer que le choix des ingrédients de base soit d'une très grande qualité. Ce que je ne constate pas. C'était très moyen & les portions très maigres. Le riz était sec, la tomate a peine grillée avec sa pelure... L'ambiance : La question qu'on s'est posé est la suivante : y a-t-il un dresse-code pour ce restaurant ? Si c'est le cas, ce n'est écrit nul-part. Un certain nombre de clients semblaient nous dévisageaient à longueur de soirée par ce que mon ami portait un T-shirt orange. L'endroit ou se trouve ce restaurant est très calme & s'apparente plus à un quartier résidentiel. L'intérieur est très cosy & la déco est très simpliste. Les escaliers pour se rendre aux toilettes sont un peu dangereux quand même (faites attention à la première marche). Les serveurs ne parlent pas français, donc vous devez pratiquer votre anglais. Je me demande comment c'est encore autorisé au Québec. Ceci étant dit, je donne quand même 4 étoiles pour le restaurant car nous avons passé un moment drôle entre amis & je ne suis pas une personne aigrie. Le chef est très sympa, discute avec sa clientèle, a l'air passionné & semble travailler dur. Les points négatifs du restaurant sont la résultante de choix stratégiques liés au positionnement du restaurant ou du moins le positionnement dans lequel il croit être. (Ça prend un peu de modestie pour être un bon restaurant). Je donne 4 étoiles pour ne pas saboter le référencement de ce restaurant historique, en espérant qu'il prenne en considération toutes les remarques énumérées ci-haut & les autres commentaires qui sont très pertinents. Est-ce qu'on reviendra ? À moins d'une annonce sur des changements au niveau du menu & des prix, je ne pense pas.
