About

Restaurant Shiraz delivers an authentic exploration of Persian culinary traditions through a menu defined by aromatic spices and slow-cooked techniques. The kitchen focuses on charcoal-grilled kababs featuring tender saffron-marinated chicken and seasoned ground meats served alongside mounds of fluffy basmati rice. Diners encounter a selection of herb-heavy stews known as khoresh, which balance tart pomegranate molasses with earthy walnuts and fresh greens. The interior environment emphasizes traditional aesthetics with intricate textures and warm tones that reflect cultural heritage. Every dish relies on fundamental staples like dried limes, turmeric, and legumes to build deep layers of flavor within each recipe. This establishment provides a direct experience of regional cooking styles, showcasing the complexity of classic spice blends paired with freshly baked flatbreads served straight from the oven.

This is the best Iranian restaurant in Québec. It gives a very authentically Iranian experience. Iranian cuisine in general is quite underrated. Definitely recommend, especially the appetizers. The mirza ghasemi is smoky & delicious, & I always get a Shirazi salad. Torshi Sir is also quite tasty with Kebab. I also recommend the tea, it is quite good. Elham & the owners are very nice too.

Tried the authentic "Iranian Food" first time in Canada. Shiraz is operated by the Irani Owners. Restaurant is kind of a hidden gem. The restaurant has a unique charm. Located in the heart of QC in Old Quebec & next to the QBeds Hostel. It has beautiful ambiencec with pinch of vintage vibes. I visited around 16:00 hrs, so I was the only customer then, but its all packed in weekends. I wasnt aware about the food, so went by the owner suggestion. It was really good. The quality & presentation was perfect 👌🏻 🍵ASH - This was new for my taste buds 🍖🍚MAHICHEH - Loved this 🍨 SAFRAN ICE CREAM - Must Try! If you are in QC, especially in the OLD QUEBEC & looking for a Halal meal, I recommend trying SHIRAZ.

Exceptional Persian cuisine! The koobideh made with fresh meat was a highlight, & the appetizers were freshly prepared. Even my picky Persian mother-in-law endorsed everything, including the doough. Authentic flavors in a great environment!
