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.
Otis delivered an excellent experience from start to finish. Everything was handled professionally, efficiently, & with great attention to detail. You can tell Otis genuinely cares about quality & customer satisfaction. I would definitely recommend Otis to anyone looking for reliable & high-quality service.
Some places just serve food, but this place delivers an experience. From the atmosphere to the quality of the food, everything was amazing, but what truly made the night special was the service. Otis went above & beyond in a way you don't see often anymore. He was kind, attentive, & genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect. You can feel the pride he has in his work, & it shows in every interaction. This experience honestly meant more than just a good meal. I'll definitely be back & recommending this place to everyone I know.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The service was top-tier, & I especially want to shout out Otis-he went above & beyond. He was professional, friendly, & genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect. You can tell he takes pride in his work, & it really shows. Because of Otis, this was one of the best customer service experiences I've had in a long time. Highly recommend-ask for Otis if you can!
Service aimable & attentionné mais la nourriture n'est pas bonne à part quelques rares exceptions & les quantités étaient petites & le prix était trop cher
Hayat is the perfect halal fine dining restaurant in mtl. I ordered Baba Ghanouj & the short ribs which were both just absolutely delicious! The service was outstanding as well, the staff were very helpful & friendly.
Un immense merci à Hajar pour son professionnalisme exemplaire. Accueil chaleureux, service irréprochable, attention aux détails & grande élégance. Une vraie valeur ajoutée pour l'établissement.
Destination de dernière minute, en arrivant belle ambiance chaleureuse & en même temps intimiste, un accueil & un service de qualité, rapide, merci Hajar de nous avoir permis de passer un bon moment.
Incredibly delicious food ! The service was amazing, from being greeted at the door, attentive service on water & cleanliness, & the best of all was our server Hajar. She treated us like queens!! Highly recommend a lovely place for the family & date night. You have to try the Baclava pancakes!!!
Stuff was very friendly & polite but bringing always water could be annoying. Overpriced food & small portions. If you're not fully booked why you didn't give a better table for two people.
Atmosphere was nice & place is well renovated.
We came to celebrate my husband's birthday & called ahead about a high chair for our baby. When we arrived early around 6:20pm, the restaurant wasn't busy, but there wasn't a high chair available, which was stressful. The food was surprisingly bland for a Lebanese restaurant, portion sizes were very small for the high price, & the service from our server Sam felt rushed. I had mentioned it was a birthday, but no dessert decorations or birthday acknowledgement were offered, unlike another table nearby who received sparkles & a song. At the end, I didn't tip because I felt the service did not match the experience I expected, & I later noticed Sam seemed visibly upset when showing our bill to the host. Overall, the evening didn't feel special & fell short for a birthday celebration.
