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.

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.

During our recent visit to Quebec, my family & I had the delightful experience of dining at restaurant Shiraz that left us thoroughly impressed, prompting us to return for dinner two consecutive nights. Having indulged in Persian cuisine across the globe, we found this gem to stand out remarkably. What sets this restaurant apart is, firstly, its rice - an aspect of Persian cuisine that's often a benchmark of quality. Here, it was nothing short of spectacular, cooked to perfection with just the right texture & flavor that complements every dish. The portion sizes are generously large, ensuring that even the heartiest of appetites are satisfied. The meats, a crucial component of Persian culinary tradition, were tender, flavorful, & cooked to perfection, highlighting the chefs' mastery over their craft. The desserts deserve a special mention as well; they were absolutely delicious, providing a sweet ending to our meals. It's rare to find a place where every dish is a hit, but this restaurant achieved that feat with ease. But what truly elevated our experience was the warmth & hospitality of the owners. Their friendliness & passion for cooking were palpable, making our dining experience not just a meal, but a memorable encounter with Persian culture & hospitality. In conclusion, restaurant Shiraz in Quebec is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore the depths of Persian culinary excellence. The combination of delicious food, generous portions, & the welcoming atmosphere created by the talented & friendly owners makes it a place where every visitor to Quebec should dine. Whether you're a connoisseur of Persian cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore, this restaurant promises an unforgettable dining experience.
