Un joyau caché du West-Island que nous venons tout juste de découvrir qui offre une spécialité culinaire peu représenté à Montréal. Aya a su amener à un autre niveau l'excellente cuisine Libanaise, & a seulement comme égale son excellente sélection de vin, soigneusement choisit par le propriétaire. Nous avons décidé d'accompagner notre repas par un vin Libanais recommandé directement par le propriétaire & nous avons été enchanté. Nous avons également été impressionné par le décor digne d'un grand hôtel & de la propreté en général. En rentrant, on remarque rapidement l'immense cuisine & la senteur qui se dégage des fours nous emballaient déjà les papilles gustatives. Nous savions que nous allions avoir une excellente soirée. Les tables ne sont pas trop proches, l'ambiances dans le restaurants est bonne & le services est impeccables. Francois & Isabelle.

Great food, amazing atmosphere. Service was good, but unfortunately the restaurant seemed to be struggling with a staff shortage. But all in all a great restaurant.

The place to eat Lebanese food in an elegant atmosphere. The Lebanese wine, especially Chateau Barka & La Tourba, were delicious with our feast.

Aya Experience was a terrific choice for a Friday-night business dinner (2 pax).

We shared several appetizers - grilled octopus, hummus, fattoush, & arnabeet - all in generous portions, beautifully presented, & full of flavour. The sommelier elevated the experience by sharing thoughtful insights into the Lebanese wine industry & guiding us to delicious glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon, while our attentive & knowledgeable waiter offered spot-on recommendations throughout.

The vibe & atmosphere were warm & inviting, ideal for conversation & connection. We'll gladly return - next time to explore the main courses.
