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.
My very picky pallet doesn't normally like this type of food bc it's either under/over seasoned/overcooked. But to my pleasant surprise, the food came out balanced & very tasty. The vibe was just right. Not an exhaustive menu but I'll take a short list of things well done over a wide selection of mediocre any day. Another gauge for me on how well a restaurant does is when I see patrons of the cuisine's origin filling up the place & Hayat had plenty of "locals". Big thumbs up. I'd put this restaurant up against Damas any day. Last but not least, our waitress (Camilla I believe), was a step above on service. My only "beef" is the valet parking at $30, which is a bit excessive.
I went for dinner with & my daughter, we were very pleased by the lovely atmosphere & the delicious food. Nathaniel, our server, was very friendly & the service was excellent 👌 thank you for this amazing experience 🥰🥰

Amazing food here! Came with a huge group & we were surprised as to how quickly they brought out the food. I really enjoyed the rose garden drink. It's great that they had plenty vegetarian options as well! The service could have been better, but food & atmosphere was fantastic!
Nous étions un groupe de 6 samedi soir dernier. Avions une table à l'extérieur (la musique est moins forte qu'à l'intérieur). La nourriture était excellente & le service impeccable. Notre serveur Nathaniel était très à l'écoute & très avenant. Nous avons passé une belle soirée & je recommande cet endroit très fortement. Nous y retournons c'est certain!

lovely atmosphere, beautiful drinks, & delicious food! i think the portions could be a bit bigger given the price, but the taste is so incredible. attentive, friendly staff as well.
Merci à notre serveuse Camilia qui nous a donné un service exceptionnel. Excellentes recommandations, tout était délicieux! Merci pour la belle soirée!
Absolutely everything was perfect with this restaurant. I had gone with my family of 9 last night & Nathaniel was our server. I haven't received such amazing service in a very long time. Thank you for having us again. We will definitely be returning!! I highly recommend the short rib & Baklawa Pancake.
Mon amie & moi sommes allées prendre un café mais nous avons été reçues comme si nous prenions un repas complet. La personne à l'accueil & notre serveur Nathaniel ont tous les deux été d'une grande gentillesse. L'ambiance, la propreté de la salle de toilette sont aussi à souligner. Merci & à bientôt, Ginette & Claudette
We had the best time here for a late lunch. We had our pups with us & they were so good to let us sit on the patio. The food was excellent. Highly recommend any of the appetizers. Valerie made the experience perfect.
The food was fantastic. Definitely recommend the labneh toast & fattoush salad. The servers were so friendly & they were very accommodating to our dietary restrictions & allergies. It's very pretty & clean on the inside & outside. One of the best Lebanese places we've dined at.
I had one of the most outstanding meals here, complemented by exceptional service. Nathaniel, our server, delivered the best service I've ever experienced-extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional, & attentive. We ordered the Boreg, Kebab Halloumi, & short ribs. For drinks, we tried the whiskey sour, Matcha martini & espresso martini. They were divine! The most delicious meals & drinks I've ever tasted. This place is now at the very top of my list.
We sat outside & had a party of 7. Our waiter was friendly & was a joy to interact with. We had cocktails & the Beirut beer which were all fantastic. We shared a variety of dishes but the ribs were an absolute delight. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for Lebanese food.
