Hayat est souvent décrit comme un restaurant libanais et syrien de premier plan dans le Vieux-Port de Montréal, avec une décoration élégante, une atmosphère chaleureuse et une ambiance à la fois animée et conviviale. Les portions généreuses, des ingrédients frais et des plats phares comme le baba ghanouj, le shawarma, le houmous, le fattoush, le gigot d'agneau et les pancakes baklava sont particulièrement appréciés. Le service est fréquemment mis en valeur comme une force, avec de nombreux commentaires sur un personnel attentif et professionnel et un accueil chaleureux, bien que quelques avis signalent des moments de service plus lent ou des tables qui pourraient offrir plus d'intimité. Les options bar et terrasse ajoutent à une expérience culinaire flexible, adaptée aux rendez-vous, aux célébrations et aux repas décontractés. Alors que beaucoup décrivent une qualité constante et une expérience globale mémorable, certains avis évoquent le prix et les portions qui peuvent sembler disproportionnés. Dans l'ensemble, Hayat est perçu comme un choix incontournable pour des saveurs du Moyen-Orient authentiques à Montréal, offrant une nourriture délicieuse et une ambiance accueillante, avec une marge d'amélioration sur la constance du service et le rapport qualité-prix.

Had a lovely time at Hayat last Saturday evening. I was showing a prospective student around the city & chose this restaurant as our final spot to end our tour. We were sat at the bar where the very engaging Otis took great care of us. We ordered dips as starters, which we shared, & honestly I had to cancel my main dish because there was more than enough food to fill us both up. We chose the baba ghanoush & the shawarma & hummus, which was served with two types of fresh bread, & the portions were plentiful. Our cocktails were also delicious. We both stated we would love to come back & try the mains, but we would need to work up a bigger appetite!
The design of the restaurant is lovely & the atmosphere was good. The only hiccup was that when I made our reservation, we only had the bar as an option, however when we arrived the restaurant was almost empty & it did not fill up by the time we left 2.5 hours later. Although our corner seats at the bar were cozy, we would have appreciated the option of booking a table.
Je suis venue manger avec mes amies & les plats étaient juste délicieux !
Le service également était tout simplement parfait. Un grand merci à Maxim qui était au petit soins avec nous.
Je recommande, l'expérience était plus que satisfaisante

My partner & I dined at Hayat to celebrate valentine's day, & within a few hours, we were both very ill. For an appetizer, 2 small plates, 2 glasses of wine each, & dessert, it costed us upwards of $300. The server was kind but terribly inefficient, he took an awkwardly long time (like several minutes standing there struggling) to be able to open the wine bottle he brought to the table to fill our glasses, & spilled wine everywhere & made zero effort to clean it up. We were done eating & waiting to pay for over 20 minutes & even got his attention & it still took another 10 minutes to even be brought the bill. While the service was severely lacking, the biggest issue is that the food made us sick. For the price of this place, I expect to be able to trust the safety of the food. Beware.
The experience was amazing at Hayat. Our server Maxim was a great host, went above & beyond to insure a great service for us. The food was fantastic & every dish from starters to main were delicious & tasted like home. Would recommend to everyone & anyone I know, you should definitely book your important dates & anniversaries & everything in between at Hayat!
