Günaydin is praised for authentic Turkish flavors, generous portions, and warm, attentive service, with many reviewers calling the breakfast and brunch experiences outstanding and transporting diners to Turkey; the decor and ambiance are repeatedly highlighted as elegant and inviting, though crowds can make service lively and some guests feel prices are a bit high for certain offerings; overall, the restaurant is described as a top choice with consistent quality, memorable kebabs and pide, and a welcoming atmosphere that invites repeat visits.
Gunaydin was a phenomenal experience. I am an avid fan of Turkish cuisine & try new restaurants in this category often, but Gunaydin shone above the majority that I have tried in Canada between Montreal & the GTA in Ontario. First of all, the space is large & comfortable. It is nicely decorated but not overdone. I really like that they have a sink outside of the toilets so you can wash your hands without waiting for someone to finish in the washroom, which happens frustratingly often at restaurants. The restaurant is kept very clean.
As for the food, the menu is large & boasts a number of uncommon selections such as the Turkish mezzes. Their larger platters are served on some beautiful dinnerware, but we were only three so we did not order that although I saw it on another table. The presentation of our dishes were still fantastic, you can tell they pay attention to that here. The quality matched the looks-fantastic meats, tasty bulgur- everything was a hit, including the delectably cheesy Sujuk Pide.
Service from the ladies that served us was fine. The man with the AP that took our payment was very friendly, however. He might have been the owner. I highly recommend this restaurant as someone who is very familiar with Turkish food.

The best Turkish restaurant in Saint-Laurent with a great decor & an amazing staff ❤?❤? We made reservations & came during the Ramadan time in the evening & it was wonderful to see the restaurant fill up & everyone started getting served at sun down 😇😇 From the servers to the maître d' everyone was super welcoming, professional, & went out of the way to answer any questions about the food & how it will be served 🙏🙏 Since it was the Ramadan menu we started with dates & salad & mini cucumbers & then moved onto lentil soup with Turkish bread followed by cigar rolls 😇😇 Each bite was beyond delicious & we looked forward to the main meal during which we had the Adana Kebab as well as Brochette de Poulet & wow ❤?❤? Our full compliments to the chef who made such delicacies with so much attention & care 🙏🙏 Finally we ended with Turkish tea & dessert (Baklava) & loved it so much that we got a box of exquisite Turkish baklava to go 😇😇 Cannot recommend this 11/10 Turkish restaurant to anyone in Saint-Laurent & beyond who wants to try exquisite delicious food with the best attentive staff who are always on their feet giving the best customer service ❤?❤?
Such a great experience! Everything-from the service to the food & presentation-was just as good as what you'd find in Turkey.
The fresh, warm pide bread was amazing, & the Adana kebab, beyti kebab, & mixed grill were absolutely delicious. The appetizers they brought at the start were also fantastic.
Bayram Bey was incredibly welcoming, & the staff were all very friendly & smiling. We really enjoyed it & will definitely come back. Highly recommend!
Un endroit sublime. Ce restaurant vous fait voyager directement en Turquie. Vous découvrirez les saveurs authentiques turque. Je vous recommande ce restaurant qui est le meilleur de Montréal.
Très belle expérience, le restaurant GUNAYDIN est excellent, la nourriture est très bonne & copieuse. L'ambiance, la musique & les lumières ou lanternes turques sont au rendez-vous. Les grillades sont succulentes & parfaitement bien cuites. 2 petites entrées & le thé sont offerts. Le personnel est très gentil, serviable & souriant. Je vous recommande ce merveilleux restaurant à 100%.
A wonderful dining experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic Turkish flavors, & beautifully presented.

One of the best restaurants in Montreal. The service was great, Bairan made us feel like at home. We would definitely go back & bring all our friends with us. Highly recommended. 🥰🙏🏻
Authentic cuisine, the food was very good. Shout out to Kahina. She was amazing & she's one of the best workers there I recommended to whoever comes to town, best food & service.
We came with our family for Christmas night dinner & had a wonderful experience. I ordered the grill mix & guvec, & both dishes were absolutely delicious. The food was clearly halal & cooked perfectly.
The environment was cozy & welcoming, & the owner, manager, & all the staff were incredibly friendly & attentive. We truly loved the warm vibes & overall atmosphere.
The food was more than delicious & the service was excellent, all the stuff was really kind & friendly ♥?♥?♥?
Everything is incredible.
Highly recommended.
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.
