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.

Restaurant Shiraz is widely regarded as a premier destination in Quebec City for authentic Persian cuisine, frequently praised for its flavorful kebabs, fresh ingredients, and generous portion sizes. Many diners highlight the warm, inviting atmosphere and the professional, friendly hospitality provided by the staff, which contributes to a memorable dining experience. While the vast majority of visitors commend the high quality of traditional dishes and the beautiful presentation, a few experiences noted inconsistencies in service speed or seasoning. Overall, it is highly recommended as a top-tier halal option for those seeking a genuine taste of Iranian culture in a cozy, welcoming setting.

I had heard about this restaurant from a friend, & it truly is something you have to experience. It's a Persian restaurant where the flavors are authentically Iranian, combined with an international-style presentation.

The staff are very hardworking, & the service is fast & flawless.

However, I wish there was a better dress code for the staff, & the wine glasses & cutlery could be improved. Still, these small details don't take away from the overall great experience we had. By the way, Our waiter Farshad was very friendly.

Highly recommended.

Shiraz is the place If you're craving authentic Persian cuisine in Old Quebec, From the moment you step in, you're welcomed by a warm, cozy ambiance that blends traditional Persian decor with modern comfort.
The food is absolutely outstanding I highly recommend the Koobideh kebab, which was juicy & perfectly grilled, & the Kashke Bademjan, a rich eggplant dip that bursts with flavor. Every dish is beautifully presented & made with care. The traditional Persian ice cream is a must-try for dessert!
What truly sets Shiraz apart is the exceptional service. The staff are incredibly friendly & attentive, making you feel like a guest in their home.
Whether you're visiting Quebec or a local looking for a new favorite spot, Shiraz is a place you'll want to return to again & again. Highly recommended for families, couples, & anyone who appreciates great food & heartfelt service
