Cozy place with fantastic food and great service. Hearty portions served with great taste and pride. We had chicken, lamb shank, and beef at our table , all very good. The desert impressed us as well. I would recommend the owner to work a bit maybe on the overall atmosphere as the place needs a bit of design change , in my opinion, but not a showstopper at all as the rest is really great.

Food was great. Restaurant was busy so reservations are recommended. I ordered the lamb shank and it was very tender. Their lentil soup was also very flavorful. I tried a bite of my friend's salmon filet it was juicy and a decent sized cut.

Found this place online looking for BYOW restaurants for a date night, was not disappointed. Ordered the scallopini toucheh and grilled salmon, both meals were perfectly cooked and had unreal flavour. Portions were decent and the creme brule was also a good size. The chef takes pride in his work and it shows. Will come again

Persian and Italian? I get why, but really? Perfect one over the other. Ok, it was a Monday night at 7 pm that we went to eat. There were a few, 4 to be exact, tables of customers, but the server, 1, could have been more attentive. We asked that a second bottle of wine be kept cold. Instead, she opened it. We were then forced to drink it. As for the food...it was tasty but the portions are small. I had the Joojeh Chicken Kebab. It was served with soup or salad, onions that hid the chicken, saffron rice and an undercooked grilled tomato. The chicken was tasty and well cooked, but there was hardly any chicken. Like I said, it was smothered in sauted onions to hide the lack of chicken. The rice was really good and the tiny salad was delicious. I wanted more. My partner had the lamb shank. He said it was good but not enough. In summary, for the price you pay ...the portions are tiny. Will we go back? Probably not. There are many other Persian restaurants that give bigger portions and are more economical.

Hands down the best lamb shank I’ve had in Montreal. I came here once in 2019 on a trip and came back again today and the lamb shank was consistently good. The meat just falls off the bone and pairs well with the rest of the dish. My wife got the baked eggplant dish and she was thoroughly satisfied. The atmosphere is relaxing and our waitress was friendly and attentive. Hands down this is a restaurant I’d come to every time I visit Montreal and I’d recommend it if you’re looking for an upscale restaurant with diverse flavors to start or end your evening.

I used to go here years ago ago. The former resto was called “Encore un fois”. We had a very good lunch (which we were too late to take photos) We started with a zucchini soup which was very nice. We had the eggplant with garlic Pasta and the lamb shank…both yummy. We had leftovers we didn’t want to leave behind so that all I got for you. Dessert was chocolate cake which was not overly rich and nice tasting .

I never enjoyed the food and atmosphere like that! Perfect taste, fresh food, cozy and warm place. Exceptional experience for me as a picky foody person. We ordered Lamb chops and stuffed chicken with pasta. Both dishes were perfectly made, very tasty. Good size portion, reasonable wait between appetizer and food. Very welcoming staff. Thank you for this amazing experience on my birthday Touché.

First time in this neighborhood restaurant and I have to say, I was very pleased with the experience. This is not a large space but with its high ceilings, natural light, open concept kitchen and the jazzy soundtrack in the background it made for a very cozy atmosphere. The menu is straightforward and simple, the food was delicious, tasty and fresh, with a Persian cuisine influence. The service was courteous and efficient. Fairly priced which becomes something rare these days. If you're in Westmount and looking for a good, not pretentious restaurant, I strongly recommend Toucheh.

A Cozy Italian Treat! I had a great time at Toucheh! This cute little place has a warm feel, perfect for a nice meal. We started with a tasty antipasto platter, then enjoyed homemade lasagna and Scallopini Piccata both really good! The chocolate cake for dessert was amazing! The staff was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Toucheh if you want delicious Italian food in a cozy spot!

Toucheh taucheh touchh I have to admit that the menu touched me, and not in a good way. The dinner menu prices are significantly more expensive than the lunch menu even though they are the same dishes. Generally, the high evening price is justified by a change in the menu, which in most cases is more refined. At worst, you have to remove the lunch menu so as not to give the customer the impression of being ripped off. We went simple on the choice, Chenjeh, Joojeh and Bakhtiari kabab for the undecided. What you need to know is that these dishes are quite spicy and this is not mentioned anywhere. This is not to displease me but at this price, I think it is important to mention it. Chenjeh claims to be marinated veal fillet, but the chewing force that resulted from tasting these strips of meat tells me that this is far from the case. The path that the restaurant has taken to compose its recipes is the path of simplicity. And when we take this route, which I believe is very risky, we must ensure that the choice of basic ingredients is of very high quality. Which I dont notice. It was very average and the portions very meager. The rice was dry, the tomato barely grilled with its skin The atmosphere: The question we asked ourselves is: is there a dress code for this restaurant? If so, it is not written anywhere. A number of customers seemed to stare at us all evening because my friend was wearing an orange T-shirt. The place where this restaurant is located is very quiet and more like a residential area. The interior is very cozy and the decor is very simplistic. The stairs to get to the toilets are a bit dangerous though (be careful with the first step). The waiters dont speak French, so you need to practice your English. I wonder how this is still allowed in Quebec. That being said, I still give the restaurant 4 stars because we had a fun time with friends and Im not a bitter person. The chef is very friendly, chats with his customers, seems passionate and seems to work hard. The negative points of the restaurant are the result of strategic choices linked to the positioning of the restaurant or at least the positioning in which it believes itself to be. (It takes a little modesty to be a good restaurant). I am giving 4 stars so as not to sabotage the referencing of this historic restaurant, hoping that it takes into consideration all the remarks listed above and the other comments which are very relevant. Will we come back? Unless there is an announcement about changes to the menu and prices, I dont think so.

Got the chicken mushroom pesto pasta. It was a little salty for my liking. The mushrooms still tasted raw. I wish it overall had a bit more texture to it. No offer of parmesan or pepper like other Italian places. My friend enjoyed her salmon dish. Friendly, pleasant service. Took ages to get our bills even though we were the last people in the restaurant. Byow is always a plus.

July 23, 2024

My worst experience in a restaurant in Montreal. Were a group of 30 people and came for a celebration. The owner was so disrespectful. He came and remove glasses from our table cause we were supposed to leave at 8:00 PM and we were still there paying our bills at 8:21 PM. He decided to call the police on us. We said go ahead because we didnt do anything wrong. What an attitude! Would he had the same attitude if it was a group of white people? I dont think so. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!!!!!!!!

Came to enjoy a quiet dinner with my husband, but ended up in a place that was extremely noisy because of a very large party with many children. A place like this should not allow for large groups of people, ruins the atmosphere. Could not wait to leave, don t even remember if the food was good

My worst experience ever in a restaurant in Montreal. Racist and execrable manager. All he had to do was say that he doesnt welcome black people or children in his restaurant and we would have gone elsewhere. Paying a bill for more than $1k and being treated like an M... its disappointing to see that this type of person still exists in Montreal. Plus average meal and too expensive. Really avoid!

July 23, 2024

The owner is racist. We did a reservation for my phD graduation and he throw us literally out of the restaurant at 8pm . And during our staying he really had an unhappy face look stressful by the number of people or by the colour of our skin. We were the only black people in the restaurant. He asked me to live the restaurant in front of my kids and tell me that the kids were not welcome in his restaurant. That I shall teach them how to behave in a restaurant. My children attended to my phD defense and were quiet during 3 hours so normally they now how to behave in public. Do not go there at all..it is not a welcome place and you will end up having a stressful evening. It doesnt worth it....bad experience in my whole life.

The ambiance was very relaxing and laid back. I loved the penne, as well as the Tiramisu. The staff and the owner of the restaurant were very professional and made sure everything was alright for us throughout our meal. I was originally very worried when my boyfriend and I made a reservation; upon our arrival, the atmosphere was unexpectedly loud. The staff was understanding of this, and resolved the matter professionally. I would overall recommend this place for special occasions and if you re looking for a very relaxing culinary experience.

OUTSTANDING!!! My spouse and I were visiting Montreal from Maryland (USA) My spouse and visited the restaurant on my birthday 06/01/2024. My spouse who is handicap and used a walker to ambulate was assisted by the manager as we entered the restaurant. The entire staff seemed sincere and genuinely interested in ensuring we were comfortable in the restaurant serene atmosphere. The food was beyond delicious and the chocolate cake was to die for. The manager was kind enough to call for a taxi so we could return to our hotel and he assisted my spouse with exiting the restaurant and entering the taxi. Next time that we visit Montreal we will definitely revisit Toucheh Restaurant.

Very good value for money as it is BYO. I am concerned about whether they are making a profit without serving alcohol. You can bring in anything from beer to wine. On the other hand, you cannot drink alcohol unless you bring it with you. The taste depends on the dish, but its almost satisfying. The volume is sufficient and the feeling of satisfaction is high. Both the chef and the people are very nice. Its a popular restaurant, so youll want to make a reservation a little in advance. This is a great store for everyday use.

I m disappointed at this restaurant. We came with a group for some Persian food. I ve been to other Persian restaurants and quite honestly it doesn t measure up. The place is nice and cute but the ventilation is horrible, we left smelling like food. BYOB is also a good idea. We asked for soup, they could only serve two of us( and we were a group of ten) The dish my husband had was good, it was an eggplant with eggs and tomatoes I took the veal, ( Chelo Mahicheh)The meat had no taste, full of spices/ onions and the rice was a big failure. How can a Persian restaurant fail in making good-rice? Very disappointed Wont be coming back sorry!

Where do I start... We had a reservation, when we arrived the waitress didnt even know we were supposed to be there(she was lost). We sat and waited for the menu for 20mins We then waited another 20 minutes and had to call over the waitress to order who said oh i didnt notice you still had the menu because it was black like the table. A couple who arrived 45 minutes after us got their order at least 20 minutes before we did. While waiting to be served we heard the people next to us ask for their bottle of wine to be opened. After 5 minites she came back to them with the bottle asking this was yours right? (Clearly lost) When our soups finally arrived they were both cold. My main plate was grilled veal and chicken, it was nothing special. The meat was all right , the rice was dry with no seasoning and it cost almost$ 40 a plate. It was very overpriced. The other dish we ordered was the Scaloppini toucheh which was way too salty we could not finish it. We noticed the waiters being very kind to other guest who seemed to be regulars. We cannot understand how people would go back multiple times. We will definitly not be returning.

December 23, 2023

The food portions are so small, but the food quality is excellent. The serveuse does not behave professionally if any mistakes come up.

I called last Wednesday evening to book a table for Saturday at 7 pm, for a special anniversary.They called back and I returned their call and my reservation was confirmed.Upon arrival needless no reservation nor table available.We left our name and number for some one to call us back and needless to say no one has called.Extremely disappointed,thought management was classier than this.

We hadn t been there for a long time. Fortunately for Toucheh, our first choice failed us with terrible service. We left and were happy we did. Toucheh will be on our short list for some time to come. Bring your own wine and enjoy a great meal. Vegetarian options: The menu states that all dishes can be made vegetarian. Parking: Street parking is available (most of the time). We dined on a Tuesday evening in July. Free for Westmount residents with a green / red sticker. Otherwise metered parking. Obey the restrictions as public security makes regular rounds. It probably gets trickier to park during the winter. Westmount is very quiet in the Summer. Kid-friendliness: Kids are probably welcome but there were none the night we had dinner. You probably want to leave the kids home with a sitter and enjoy a romantic date night.

If you want to experience Persian hospitality and a delicious Persian dish presented in a familiar style, this is the place to go!

This place is a standout gem in Montreal! We had the pleasure of savoring both Iranian and Italian dishes, and they were an absolute delight. The staff here is exceptionally friendly and demonstrates a high level of professionalism. Our overall experience was fantastic, and we cant wait to return for another delightful visit. Dont forget to try their tiramisu.

Spectacular! The food quality and presentation was absolutely the best! Very very friendly staff, the owner came to the tables to see if the customers are happy with their orders. The place was very clean and cozy, medium light which made it very perfect! I tried the eggplant escallop with chicken, it was beyond my expectations! For the starter we had chickpea soup, very tasty and light, and for the dessert I had tiramisu, I can say the best tiramisu I ve ever had Waiting to go back there again Vegetarian options: All the dishes can be vegetarian if you request

The Persian and pasta dishes are absolutely delicious. I had egg plants and my colleagues had salmon and lamb dishes and were all satisfied. The lunch menu include appetizer, main dish, and coffee or tea. Cozy place and very friendly service, and they just renovated the place. A must try!

Cozy little restaurant on the street corner, we had a good kebabs, lamb, chicken, lentil soup, service was friendly, and its a BYOB so dont be shy with your bottles. Came by car and almost missed it since it was dark, how about add more spotlight on the sign?

My best ever restaurant experience in Montreal. A very cozy place in Westmont with delicious dishes, welcoming staff and calm ambient. I ordered lamb chops with spaghetti which was out of my expectations, flavorful food, nice presentation. Their garlicky spaghetti dances in your mouth and Lamb chops was in another level. Their menu is a combination of Italian and Persian dishes and you can enjoy the best of those two food cultures.

The food is outstanding and I really enjoy the experience every time but the service doesn t follow. Sometimes it is excelleand very punctual, other times it is absent. We were told politely that we had to be out in 2 hours, yet every service was punctuated with interminable delays and we forced some other waiter to take our desserts order 2/12 hrs into what we had hoped was a an occasion to be spoiled not having it spoiled. It s too bad but come when business is slow if want good sevice.

Dinner with friends. Relaxed friendly atmosphere. High ceiling and it was easy to have a conversation, so much better than many other restaurants. Good choice of dishes on the menu, so I had the difficult task of selecting one out of four favourites. That never happens! I had the lamb shank which was perfectly cooked. The créme Brulée was excellent too. We had a great evening here. Thoroughly recommended!

The food here is very high quality, with incredible customer service. This is especially a very unique halal Italian Persian cuisine. The menu is Persian inspired and the food has mouth watering flavor. The vibe at this place is very nice and the food has a reasonable price as well. What I value most is when the chef made a clarification about a specific meat source not being halal, this shows a high degree of respect for customers and we were deeply appreciative of his honest gesture. I will continue to come back here for incredible food

We ordered two Persians classic dishes: Chenjeh and Chelo Mahicheh. Pros: -Nice place and ambiance -Service is nice, and fast for the type of food -Bring your own wine place. Cons: -The food tastes good, but nothing to the level of what Persian food usually tastes -The portions are normal, but not to the Persian standard. Mostly the rice that normally is a big plate -The price of each Persian dish is high for the quality and portion. I would recommend if you want to try Persian food, but be ready to pay a high price for it.

Toucheh is one of my favourite eateries in Montreal. Lovely and cozy ambiance, cordial service, delicious food made to satisfy the soul. Appropriate for casual business lunches, meals shared among friends or romantic soirées. The Persian and Italian dishes are equally mouthwatering. My only regret is that I don t live in this neighborhood so I don t get to enjoy Toucheh as often as I would like. Vegetarian options: The grilled vegetable sandwich is delicious
