I don't write that many reviews, but I had to share my experience at Hayat because it really stood out to me. First, the ambiance is super inviting & vibrant, with great music, lighting, & well-thought-out decor.

When I go out to eat, I look for an immersive experience that combines out-of-the-ordinary food, warm service & energy from the staff, & a good mix of a chic but lively environment. Let me tell you, Hayat provided all of the above & went well beyond my expectations.

You can feel the authenticity behind all the recipes, & when the food is served with such personalized & attentive service, it makes the whole experience that much more enjoyable.

I especially loved the lamb shank, which was perfectly tender, & the short ribs, which quite literally melted in my mouth. & don't even get me started on the eggplant mash, which gives you creaminess & tanginess from the eggplant purée, topped with savoury, tomatoey beef & a touch of crispiness from the fried eggplant (+ a subtle sweet kick from the pomegranate seeds).

Thank you to the amazing cooking team & all the staff for making us feel at home, but with better food! :)))

So delicious! It's often tough to find good food in touristy areas, but hayat is even worth a trip just for the food. The lamb was juicy & flavorful, & they didn't skimp on the pine nuts.

I normally stay away from the restaurants & the Old Port area as they tend to be overpriced & not worth the money. I therefore had my reservations when we made an impromptu decision to try out Hayat.. but it definitely paid off. The food was quite outstanding- it seemed quite authentic, was very well prepared & plated.

The menu is interesting & not crazy long- which clearly gives them the ability to ensure strong quality control. The desserts were refreshing & unique. As were the cocktails. The service is kind & attentive & the location & ambience are beautiful. 100% recommend.

Ma famille a vraiment adoré. Nous étions 11 & avons apprécié le menu de groupe. Une belle ambiance avec un DJ.. la musique était pas trop forte.

Seul inconvénient = le stationnement dans le secteu
