In the heart of Québec City, Les Délices d’Ariana offers more than just food—it offers a taste of Afghanistan’s warmth, culture, and family traditions. Tucked along the historic Boulevard René-Lévesque, this small but vibrant restaurant welcomes guests with the inviting aroma of saffron, slow-cooked meats, and freshly baked naan. The owners, originally from Afghanistan, opened Ariana with the dream of sharing their homeland’s flavors with the local community, creating a peaceful space where every guest feels at home.
The menu at Ariana features classic Afghan dishes such as mantu (steamed dumplings), qabuli palaw (fragrant rice with raisins and lamb), and rich vegetable stews—each prepared with care and authenticity. The restaurant also allows guests to bring their own wine, making it perfect for cozy dinners and gatherings. With service starting each evening from 5 PM, Ariana becomes a quiet escape where flavors tell stories and every plate reflects Afghan hospitality.
Over time, Les Délices d’Ariana has become a beloved part of Québec’s multicultural food scene. Locals praise its generous portions, family-run charm, and peaceful atmosphere. For many Afghan immigrants, it’s a reminder of home; for curious visitors, it’s an introduction to a beautiful culture through food. Whether you’re seeking comfort, connection, or just a memorable meal, Ariana offers it all—with a side of kindness.
