Café Parfums de Perse truly made my birthday special! The food was exquisite, and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend them for a memorable dining experience.

Charming little wonder hidden in Montreal. There was an incredible smell of spices when I walked past, so I decided to stop for lunch. It was excellent, the service was welcoming, a menu with little choice which implies that the few dishes are perfectly mastered. The cafe is very well decorated. I recommend you come here whether just for tea or coffee or even for a meal. In addition, the prices were very reasonable.

THE BEST! JUST GO ANYTIME OF DAY!

This café is an absolute gem! The vibe is so cozy and inviting that it feels like stepping into a little piece of Rasht (North of Iran) itself. The hosts are incredibly kind and genuinely go out of their way to make you feel at home.

The food? Simply outstanding. The fesenjoon was truly authentic, rich, and flavorful—exactly how it should be. And the eskamoo? Hands down the best I’ve had, even compared to the ones I’ve enjoyed in Rasht—it might actually be better!

The homemade Persian sweets are another highlight; they’re not just delicious but have that authentic, homemade touch that’s hard to find. The hospitality here is second to none, making the entire experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a an amazing dining experience!

This place is a wonderful family-operated business. Each individual member of this family is welcoming, warm, hospitable ?all the food tastes incredibly delicious, fresh and unforgettable ? the ambiance was very cozy. If I wasn’t worried about loitering, I would have preferred to stay longer to chat with them and enjoy their delicious food. I highly recommend for both locals and visitors to try at least once and see that they will become one of their loyal customers?

You can find the real taste of Persian food (Gilaki - Caspian Sea) here. The owner is a lovely Nobel family who they are always friendly and open to all comments and guests. Strongly recommended!

Their pistachio cake and bagel cake are really delicious, especially with tea, and I will definitely go to eat them again, but Mirza Ghasemi's was not my taste. Very warm environment and pleasant songs and very warm and kind staff

I had the pleasure of visiting Parfums de Perse Cafe for breakfast, and I’m still savouring the experience. I tried the Halim, and wow, it was the ultimate comfort dish—warm, thick, and perfectly spiced. You can tell it’s made with love and traditional care, giving it an authenticity that’s hard to find elsewhere.

But the real surprise? Their pistachio and saffron ice cream—it’s absolutely unmatched. Creamy, aromatic, and with just the right balance of saffron and pistachio. It’s like a little journey to the Middle East in each bite. And then there’s the pistachio cake, which is hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had. Moist, rich, and with a delicate nutty flavour that leaves you craving more.

The staff were so kind and attentive, adding to the warm, inviting vibe of the cafe. If you’re looking for an unforgettable taste experience with a personal touch, Parfums de Perse Cafe is a gem that can’t be missed. I’ll definitely be back soon to try more of their menu!

We have done a few networking events here, and everytime we book with them we are greeted with such hospitality and warmth. Their food is also incredible. I highly recommend their soup especially as it gets colder out.

I decided to try this place based on the positive reviews, but my experience was disappointing and far below my expectations. We ordered the Halim and a breakfast tray, but several issues made the meal unenjoyable.

The Halim was overly sweet, which is not authentic to its original flavor, and they didn’t inform us of this change. It also tasted and looked like it had been reheated rather than freshly made. As for the breakfast tray, we requested lentil soup, but they served bean soup instead. The egg and sausage omelet was poorly made; the sausage tasted cheap, and both the soup and omelet had an overpowering, undercooked tomato paste flavor.

There was also a side plate of cucumbers and tomatoes, but the cucumber was dried out, suggesting it was sliced a day or more in advance. To top it off, the sugar container on our table was broken and sticky with residue, which was off-putting.

For a meal that cost around $60 with tip and tax, I expected a much higher standard. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless the owners invest in higher-quality ingredients and hire a chef who can properly prepare these basic dishes.
