My 1000th review and I saved it for this lovely Persian restaurant that I found quite by accident…read morestrolling the beautiful Montreux promenade. The outdoor seating area has scenic views. Come early or during off-peak hours to snag a table outdoors. The interior is intricately decorated with old Persian tapestries, tiles, and other accents.
The food - I was so surprised to have such good Persian food in the middle of Switzerland of all places. I started with the mint cucumber yogurt, which was refreshing on a hot day. For my main, I went with the barg kebab, which came with a piece of tadig (crunchy rice) which I loved. Nicely cooked kebab. The nice owner seeing that I was dining alone brought me a complimentary dessert - sholeh zard which was great, sweet, but not too sweet as it should be.
I highly recommend you put this restaurant on your list to try when visiting Montreux.
