The reviews paint Gunaydin as a lively, welcoming hub of authentic Turkish flavors where breakfast and brunch are standout experiences, with fresh breads, mezes, ayran, jams, and a range of grilled meats that are described as tender, juicy, and well seasoned. Diners repeatedly praise generous portions, flavorful kebabs, Adana, kofta, and pide, and a warm, friendly staff with a comforting atmosphere, sometimes enhanced by Turkish music and elegant decor. The service is highlighted as attentive and the atmosphere makes guests feel at home. Many mention the Ramadan menu and breakfast as highlights, and the presentation and overall authenticity are commonly praised, with some calling it the best Turkish restaurant in Montreal and Canada by certain reviewers. A few notes of caveat include that prices can be high for the portions, there can be lines during peak hours, and some mornings or brunch options feel pricey or vary in traditional feel; reservations are advisable to avoid waits. Overall Gunaydin is presented as a top Turkish dining destination with consistent quality, strong hospitality, and a memorable ambiance.
Impeccable! Mühte?em bi?ey! Loved everything about it.. beyti wasn't as expected because of the lava? bread, but the meat was perfect! They're extremely busy & yet they manage to serve you with a smiley on their face! Great service a bit too loud but great atmosphere, we will try breakfast next time!
My wife & I came here for a romantic dinner & had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is fantastic-beautiful decor, great music, & a really warm ambience that sets the perfect mood.
The food was absolutely delicious. We started with aubergine meze & complementary fresh homemade bread Tzatziki & Tomato Ezme, which was a very nice touch. For our mains, we ordered the Adana Kebab & the Mixed Pide-both were cooked perfectly & full of flavor.
A huge highlight for me was the ice-cold Ayran drink; it was incredibly refreshing. We finished the evening perfectly with some Turkish tea & Kunefe.
We enjoyed it so much that we are already planning to come back, but next time we'll bring the kids to try the breakfast!
It might be busy on Friday & Saturday night so it's better to call 🤙 & reserve a spot to avoid waiting or not being able to visit the place.
So far, the best Turkish breakfast I've had besides Turkiye! The service was amazing, & the presentation was just as impressive. Bayram, Miran, & Dilan were incredibly helpful & kind. Highly recommend if you enjoy Turkish food!
I wish I lived here so I could have this breakfast every weekend…..People were so kind, & the breakfast selection was wide & absolutely delicious. Strongly recommended! Thank you for the amazing service.

,Guys ; the real authentic Gunaydin restaurant is in Istanbul , the second branch is in Dubai near Burj Khalifa - This one in Saint Laurent is a fake , not legit & you don't get value for your money - not at all - We went three days ago for a breakfast -We we were a group of six - If you want to have a folkloric breakfast , you will enjoy it - but to have a good breakfast & value for your money, don't even think about it - It is terrible - rip off - for each one of our group , it cost 33 dollars plus taxe - paying so much for nothing ( for cheese , marmalade , nutella , tea etc ) absolute RIP-OFF also , sweet Kneffe ; was awful - as well - So guys - very bad disappointment - tasteless - THE quality of food doesn't justify the money you pay for it - FIRST & LAST TIME - NO MORE ...
What a delicious Turkish breakfast! First time in Montreal - the best food! Tried Turkish food everywhere, even in Ontario, but this is the best. Great food, best service, & polite staff. Good ambiance & 100% halal.* 😋 waiting is little longer if u go without reservation

Amazing first visit! Service is pleasant & welcoming from beginning to end. We had the pleasure to meet Bayram who had kind words, courteous & professional. He suggested we try the breakfast (reservations recommended) so we will definitely be back! Thank you
Nice & clean, bigger than it looks from outside & the staff are welcoming & very attentive. Went with a group of friends for breakfast, & although it was nice but it certainly was not as we anticipated... for starters there was nothing Turkish about it... it was a mix of Middle-eastern & Continental...
A plate of omelet & another with sunny side up eggs plus some cheeses, olives, honey, butter & jams that you may have at home or find at your neighborhood grocery store.
We expected a Turkish breakfast with traditional flavors beyond just the eggs with sujuk...
I would say the breakfast was overpriced for what was offered & I wouldn't recommend this place for breakfast, but I promised to go try their pies & kababs to see how authentic they are...
Delicious food & excellent service. I Will definitely be coming back to try their night menu, as we had their breakfast brunch one today. Beautifully decorated to bring out the Turkish culture. Bravo to the owner for the concept he created!
We were a group of 12 celebrating my birthday. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The service was incredible & friendly. The owner answered all our question courteously.
We will return to try their breakfast.
My first time in a Turkish restaurant.
I went for a breakfast.
First of all, the decor was great. & the hospitality feels like home. The waiter is always smiling, motivated & kind.
The food presentation is amazing. It is a mix of simplicity, healthy with some dishes showing some complixity with the spice. We had a great experience.
