Les avis sur Hayat évoquent une cuisine libano-syrienne authentique avec des plats savoureux et généreux, comme baba ghanouj, shawarma, fattoush, soujouk, lamb shank et short ribs, servis dans un cadre chic et chaleureux près du Vieux Port avec une terrasse appréciée et une ambiance conviviale; le service est souvent salué comme attentif, professionnel et agréable, et les boissons, en particulier les cocktails, remportent régulièrement les éloges; les desserts comme les baklava pancakes et la glace syrienne séduisent aussi; toutefois certains clients trouvent le rapport qualité-prix discutables et estiment que les portions peuvent paraître petites pour le prix; les expériences varient selon l’affluence et la gestion, avec des critiques concernant la cohérence du service ou les temps d’attente lorsque le restaurant est occupé, et quelques réservations ou préférences de places en bar plutôt qu’une table; malgré cela Hayat est décrite comme une adresse à tester pour les amateurs de cuisine moyen-orientale, avec un fort esprit de découverte et de partage et la plupart prévoyant d’y revenir pour goûter d’autres plats et profiter à nouveau de l’atmosphère et du service.
Atmospheric Lebanese Muslim owned beauty of a restaurant. Smart flavor combinations & options for both meat & veg eaters. Lovely location & sweet staff- drinks that will cool off your soul.
The nicest terasse in the old port. My friends & I had a great time & cant wait to come back. Highly recommend sharing so you can try everything. The cocktails are amazing & the server Chris really knew his menu & even convinced us to try our first lebanese wine which everyone loved. Cant wait to come back

Very interesting, Lebanese with a slight twist, menu is small but the selection are good. The atmosphere is very nice, service amazing & welcoming. The weather was nice so we sat outside.
It probably is the best spot in the old port to grab some nice food & drinks. We ordered the muhammara, zaatar focaccia, kibbeh naye, soujouk, manti, lamb shawarma tacos & fattet batinjein - everything were delicious & portions were decent enough to share between 3-4 people at a reasonable price. As for drinks, we took the butterfly effect & the patron spritz, which were all nice as well. When I first drank the butterfly effect cocktail, I made a slight face because I found it too strong but it was my fault as I didn't mix it enough - but the lovely bartender immediately noticed it & didn't hesitate to offer me a new drink (to which I declined since it was my mistake & when mixed enough the drink is amazing). The waitors & waitresses were quick & polite as well. Service & food are 10/10. I used to always go to Damas but this might be my new favorite place to go for Syrian/Lebanese food, especially this summer when it will be terrasse season.
Delicious authentic Lebanese food - the muhammara & soujouk are a must try! Service & ambiance were also exceptional - great spot for a special dinner in Old Port.
Absolutely delighted with my dining experience at this Syrian-Lebanese restaurant! The ambiance was charming, & the flavors of the dishes transported me to the heart of the Middle East. A special shoutout to our server Rou, whose dynamic & fun service added an extra layer of joy to our meal. Highly recommend this gem for a delightful culinary journey!
Went there for a meeting with my business partner, we had the best middle Eastern meal we've had in a while. Seeing Lebanese & Syrian food in such an elevated but still rustic presentation was great. what was even better was the quality of the food. It was sublime. Service was great & the staff was lively & made us feel like family. We had drinks afterwards at the bar where I had my first ever tequila espresso martini. Its a must have.
Really lovely new place in the Old Port. Mix of Syrian & Lebanese cuisine with some Arabic music (most of the time) which was nice. The Fattoush, hummous stood out, but what was really special was their impossible kefta fatteh which was vegan! Amazing to see this as a option. Service was top notch, thanks to Gabriel & everyone there. Will certainly be back
I was holding a business meeting in Montreal for 4 nights & Hayat was our best meal of the week. We have 2 vegetarians in the team & there were a ton of options for them. The hummus is absolutely delicious as were our mains which included beef & chicken skewers along with the short ribs which were exceptional. Service was the right combination of friendly, helpful & timely. We also had chance to sample our wines before trying which was greatly appreciated & even ended up ordering a Lebanese wine which we had never tried before. If you have the chance get the IXSIR Altitudes white wine....it was exceptional. Again this was our best meal of the week & really enjoyed our time there.
