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
Günayd? Restaurant is a wonderful spot with tasty Turkish dishes & a very welcoming atmosphere. The food is fresh & flavorful, the portions are generous, & the service is always friendly. A great place to enjoy a delicious meal-highly recommended!
I visited Restaurant Günaydin today, & I have to say, this place truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the warm & inviting atmosphere instantly set the tone for a great dining experience. The ambiance is elegant yet comfortable, & the staff is exceptionally professional. They were attentive, friendly, & made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Special thanks to brother Miran for accomodating our needs.
Now, coming to the food, absolutely outstanding. Every dish was packed with rich, authentic flavor, & you could immediately tell that only fresh, high quality ingredients were used. The meats were incredibly tender & juicy, grilled to perfection with that signature Turkish taste that stands out from the rest. Even the sides & bread were fresh, well-seasoned, & complemented the dishes perfectly. The portion sizes were generous, making the overall experience even more satisfying.
Overall, Restaurant Günaydin delivered a truly memorable dining experience. Whether it's the taste, presentation, service, or ambiance, everything was top-tier. This is definitely one of those places that makes you want to come back again. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food with excellent hospitality.

J'ai beaucoup aimé ce restaurant que je ne connaissais pas; le choix du menu, la variété des plats, la fraîcheur des aliments, le bon goût des viandes & des plats suggérés, & les prix sont raisonnables. Le service est excellent, le personnel est courtois poli & très gentil. Je recommande fortement.
I don't understand the hype around this restaurant. It was pretty ordinary, & the $59.99 menu for two is way too expensive for what you get. The only things I enjoyed were the egg & the bread, which were tasty.

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...
