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.
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.

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!
Cozy little restaurant on the street corner, we had a good kebabs, lamb, chicken, lentil soup, service was friendly, & it's a BYOB so don't be shy with your bottles. Came by car & almost missed it since it was dark, how about add more spotlight on the sign?

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!
Spectacular!
The food quality & presentation was absolutely the best!
Very very friendly staff, the owner came to the tables to see if the customers are happy with their orders.
The place was very clean & cozy, medium light which made it very perfect!
I tried the eggplant escallop with chicken, it was beyond my expectations! For the starter we had chickpea soup, very tasty & light, & for the dessert I had tiramisu, I can say the best tiramisu I’ve ever had 🥲
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.

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!
My entire family love this place for supper. The food is excellent: we have never had a bad experience & we have gone many times over the years. It is a convenient location with street parking. The staff is really attentive & make us feel at home.

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!
Great service, clean space, excellent food. The portions are really well-served, & they have vegetarian/vegan options. Best Bring Your Own Wine restaurant I've been in Montreal.
No menu at this eatery, right in the heart of Westmount. One has to get up & read the available meals on the wall. The chicken piccata consisted of 4 very tender chicken breast thin pieces with garlic pasta on the side. The 4 lamb chops (again with pasta) was a bit tough & could hardly be chewed. The eggplant parmigiana (again with pasta on the side) was ok. The salmon with pasta on the side was ok too. The soups were very good. All in all, not a bad experience, however, for what one gets, the prices are a bit too steep. The place was a bit crammed without air conditioning or even air circulation or a fan.It says "Iranian restaurant" yet Iranian specialties were non-existent.
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.
