I went with some colleagues for lunch & I was starving! I searched the menu before & had my mind set on the short rib but Camilla said it's only for dinner time & I was so bummed. She suggested the lamb instead & it hit the spot for me. 👍🏿View more

Super service at the bar with a very handsome bartender named Egan, & the coktails he made for us were fantastic

Good location, ambience & service. However, asked for the Lamb Shank & honestly, only received the bone. Great presentation & flavor, & very disappointing piece of lamb (especially for the price!!).View more

J'ai découvert cet établissement grâce à TikTok : ce que je voyais semblait délicieux, & il fallait que mes papilles en constatent d'elles-mêmes. Ce fut chose faite un soir de décembre, sous les premières neiges.
En entrée, nous avons pris un baba ghanouj, une purée d'aubergine fumée (un vrai délice), garnie de graines de grenade, d'huile d'olive, de poivron vert & d'autres ingrédients que j'oublie sûrement. Moi qui n'avais pas gardé un bon souvenir des aubergines de mon enfance, ce plat m'a totalement réconcilié avec ce légume !
La salade fattoush était une véritable merveille : une belle portion, avec chips de pita au sumac, menthe fraîche, grenade, concombre, poivrons… Une explosion de saveurs qui nous a fait voyager dès les premières bouchées.
Ensuite, nous avons enchaîné avec le loup de mer au tajine tahini : un superbe filet surmonté de chips de pita & de pignons de pin, qui rehaussent vraiment le plat.
Par pure gourmandise, nous avons terminé par des crêpes au baklawa - que nous n'avons pas pu finir, faute de place !
Le service était très efficace, attentionné au point de nous demander. si le dessert nous avait déçu parce que nous en avons laissé une grosse part.
On y retourne ? Sans hésiter ! Mais en essayant d'être plus raisonnable dans le choix des plats :)View more

Our experience at Hayat in Montreal was exceptional. The food was delicious with generous portions, & the chef clearly knows his craft - every dish was beautifully prepared. The service was outstanding, with attentive & warm staff who made us feel welcome. The restaurant was spotlessly clean, & the atmosphere struck a perfect balance between elegance & comfort. Highly recommended!View more

It's my favorite Lebanese restaurant in town ! Located in the heart of the old port, both the terrace & the interior of the restaurant have a very a very beautiful design & esthetic (ideal for a date). Everything tastes fresh & authentic, & the positions are very generous. It is my second time going to this restaurant au both times the service was perfect & very efficient. I especially recommend this place for all the pistachio lovers out there, it's incorporated in many meals with great taste! I recommend trying the Muhammara, the beef eggplant appetizer & main course, along with their lamb shank!View more

La cuisine n'a rien de spécial. Très peu de choix, les plats manquent de saveur & les portions sont vraiment petites - j'ai été surpris par la quantité. Le serveur, un jeune homme, était sympathique, mais les autres membres du personnel, non. Le propriétaire ou le gérant (je ne sais pas exactement) était carrément arrogant. Il n'y avait aucune ambiance.
Franchement, 150$ pour ça, ce n'était pas mérité. En sortant, on avait encore faim 😏. Je n'y retournerai jamais & je ne le recommande pas. Shay est largement meilleur, autant pour le choix que pour le goût.View more

Had a beautiful patio dinner here one evening in June. Ordered a cocktail & two appetizers, which was more than enough food for one person. They also brought out complementary breadsticks with labneh & za'atar to accompany the cocktail, which was very kind.
Servers were lovely - attentive without being overbearing.
Restaurant serves higher-end food in a touristy part of town - the prices reflect that.
Overall, a great meal & I would definitely return again.View more

We had a glorious meal! Our server, Sophia, was helpful & fun & gave us good advice about the food. &, the food was exquisite - beautifully prepared, layers of delicious flavors in every dish, nicely served. I wish Hayat was near to my home, but it will just have to be a beacon in Montreal!View more
