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.

We were glad to find this restaurant on our way back to our hotel from the Plains of Abraham. The restaurant had just opened for lunch when we arrived, so there was no difficulty in finding seats. The staff were friendly, & the food was delicious with generous portions. We had ordered the chicken kebab with rice & the salmon with rice. The dishes were flavorful & very satisfying. The only con is the long wait period for the food to arrive at the table after placing the order. I am talking about more than 45 minutes. From the other reviews, the wait seems to be the norm here. So, it's not an ideal choice when you are famished.

If Iranian cuisine is new to you, be sure to remember that having equal portions of rice & stew/kebab/fish on your spoon is the best approach to fully enjoy the taste of Iranian food 👌🏻.

We came for a late lunch. The staff was very friendly & the food was delicious & was served pretty quickly. The Ghormeh Sabzi was a favorite. Love the way the rice that comes with the entree has tadig.

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!

Wow - favorite food in Quebec so far! Forget the touristy areas, this is where to find flavor. Don't forget the rice-flour & saffron dessert, & the dessert tea.

We went to this restaurant for lunch & it was a great experience. The staff is nice & agreeable & the ambiance is very cozy. I specially loved the food. Not only did it taste wonderful, the presentation was also fantastic. With separate pots of rice & nice persian "Tahdig". I recommend the mahiche wich was delicious. Definitely will be back here our next trip to Quebec city, & recommend it to anyone who wants a nice persian experience.
