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.

I had an incredible dining experience at Perian Restaurant in Quebec City. The food was absolutely perfect, with the juicy koobideh standing out as the star of the meal. The flavors were rich & authentic, making every bite a delight. The atmosphere & service only added to the great experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy flavorful Persian cuisine in the heart of Quebec City! J'ai vécu une expérience culinaire incroyable au restaurant Perian à Québec. La nourriture était tout simplement parfaite, avec le koobideh juteux qui s'est démarqué comme la star du repas. Les saveurs étaient riches & authentiques, rendant chaque bouchée délicieuse. L'ambiance & le service ont ajouté à cette superbe expérience. Je recommande vivement cet endroit à tous ceux qui cherchent à savourer une cuisine perse pleine de saveurs au coeur de Québec !

If you are Iranian or you had Persian food before, this restaurant will disappoint you. Very average food but pricy. Don't recommend it.

I had never had Persian food before, & this was a delightful introduction. Everything was busting with subtle & complex flavors. The server was friendly & knowledgeable, & helped us pick out some good options. They had vegetarian options for my husband, & the lamb I had was tender & flavorful. If you can, save room for dessert! Get a cup of Persian tea (it comes with saffron rock candy) & the rice flour dessert....so decadent!

I have seen several good Persian restaurants in Toronto & Montreal but to be honest this one is one of the top rate ones comparing the food quality, services & reasonable prices .

A great Persian restaurant! I'd recommend it to anyone in Quebec, traveling or living, if they've never had Persian food before. The hostess/waitress was wonderfully kind & the restaurant really felt like we were in a restaurant from Iran. I recommend trying the "Kashke Bademjoon", an eggplant tomato starter; the Sultani main which comes with a skewer of beef & lamb; & also the "Doogh" which is a very popular carbonated yogurt mint drink. I will definitely be back the next time I visit Quebec City. 10/10 Un super restaurant persan ! Je le recommanderais à tous les Québécois, qu'ils voyagent ou qu'ils vivent, s'ils n'ont jamais mangé de cuisine persane auparavant. L'hôtesse/serveuse était merveilleusement gentille & le restaurant avait vraiment l'impression d'être dans un restaurant iranien. Je recommande d'essayer le « Kashke Bademjoon », une entrée de tomates aubergines ; le plat Sultani accompagné d'une brochette de boeuf & d'agneau ; & aussi le « Doogh » qui est une boisson gazeuse à la menthe & au yaourt très populaire. Je reviendrai certainement lors de ma prochaine visite à Québec. 10/10
