Review summary

What guests say about Resto Café Safran+

The reviews mainly highlight the warm welcome, attentive service, and a calm, cozy atmosphere. The saffron-infused food and drinks come up often as strong points, with several customers finding the desserts, coffees, and teas delicious and unique. A few comments do mention, however, that service can sometimes be slow, with a long wait, and concerns about billing or dishes perceived as reheated in the microwave. Overall, it is a much-appreciated place for a flavorful and original experience, but it is worth checking the bill.

A true hidden gem in Montreal. Warm, hospitable service and a peaceful atmosphere to sit back and unwind. The saffron tea and herbal infusions are incredible—authentic, fragrant, and perfectly prepared. Will definitely be coming back

Tucked away on a busy street, this cute and cozy café was just somewhere I stopped on a whim hoping for dairy free alternatives... Which they had! The saffron iced coffee puts a unique twist on a daily staple!

Check your bill before you pay as I was charged more. I was charged 12.08 for 9.64 (2.50+5.99) after tax and before tip. I was returned only half that amount when I asked maybe bc they were too flustered… Lovely cafe still, it’s nice to taste saffron and unique iranian sweets.

I had pretty high expectations since it was highly recommended by my friend and outstanding reviews, but unfortunately got disappointed. It is a little cute place so our experience started pretty well, however the food itself was nothing special. We have been to a few Iranian restaurants with similar price ranges and were way more impressed. Also the place was empty, but it took around 25 min to get our order even though the food was warmed up in the microwave, not sure why it took so long to serve.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, especially after receiving a recommendation from a friend. We always strive to provide fresh, authentic food and attentive service, so we're disappointed to learn that we fell short during your visit. Regarding the wait time, even when the restaurant is not busy, some dishes require preparation steps before serving, but we understand that a 25-minute wait can feel excessive. We also appreciate your comments about the food, as guest feedback helps us identify areas where we can improve. Thank you again for your honest feedback.

The food was so good. I got to try their lentil soup with bread. As desserts, I got the Matcha-gato with saffron ice cream. Surprisingly, it blends well with the matcha. To describe it, the matcha is more herbal and milky from the saffron ice cream… it’s a unique combination, but I actually like how the matcha-gato is made :) For the drinks, I got to try their Galaxy Rose and their Hot Pistachio drinks. For the Galaxy Rose, it’s a sweet, yet herbal taste. It has a hint of orange, marshmallow-y flavor, along with the butterfly pea tea herbs and saffron. That’s a 10/10 for me. For the Hot Pistachio, it’s very nutty and milky that actually taste like an actual roasted pistachio compared to other cafes I’ve tried where it has a medicinal/artificial taste. With that being said, this is probably my fav cafe place to get a Pistachio drink if you guys like Pistachio. This is also a 10/10 for me The service is very good. We were able to get a refill for the bread for our lentil soup, we also got free water and Ali, the staff, welcomed us with warmth. I’m definitely going there again ! The atmosphere is nice. The place is filled with Persian and Iranian decor and a pretty chill spot to study. Thank you Ali for this wonderful experience :)

The drinks were amazing, it was surprisingly herbal, which is welcomed. Their take on the Affo-matcha is quite unique. You’d expect the matcha to be bitter, yet it had a herbal taste. The pistachio chaud was also amazing, it was creamy and the pistachio flavour was on point.

We only had the pistachio cake and the saffron rice pudding, but both were superb. The owner, Ali, is also a wonderful man who made us feel at home from the moment we walked through the door.

This place is just magical! From the decor to the cutlery to the food, everything was detailed to perfection. This cafe has a very cozy vibe. I recently discovered this gem and will surely be back. Some of their menu items aren’t found anywhere else, which makes this place special.

Amazing atmosphere. I went here during a quick break between classes with a few friends from college, and even with little time to spare, we loved it. As soon as we walked in, the aesthetic caught our eye, the host was super welcoming, and the drinks were amazing. I can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!!!
