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.

The food was to die for - we had just been walking around Old Quebec & were so hungry. The atmosphere is gorgeous as soon as you walk in, & then we were well taken care of by our server & the delicious food. We got two vegetarian meals & baklava for dessert. Highly highly recommend!

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 came here while visiting Quebec , & it was really good. The saffron rice is very delicious & the ground beef kebab (Koobideh) was also fantastic. The food was fresh & made with quality ingredients. Our waitress was very kind & helpful. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

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
