I normally don't leave reviews because i don't have much time but sincerely THIS PLACE & SERVICE? UNBEATABLE. The food? Is top tier. The service, especially ARSENIO is UNPECABLE. We went there for my friends BD & they made her feel extra special with their Baklawa pancakes!! & THE SOUJOUK is a MUST TRY.View more

Cuisine exquise & raffinée Les cocktails délicieux & que dire du service! Excellent. Un seul bémol pour le bruit mais cela est inévitable quand la salle est pleine. Merci pour la belle soirée nous reviendrons assurément.View more

Good food, good service. Background music just a little bit too loud to my taste. This restaurant is on a street where there is a lot of tourist-trap restaurant, but Hayat is simply a good place to eat.View more

The restaurant inside is not big at all but cute & cozy. Our waiter i believe his name was Dean was super fantastic! The food was also amazing! i didn't take pics of everything because we dove right into it. I'm very picky with food & with this food being my traditional food i was even more skeptic so as we all say our mom makes it better lol. However to my surprise everything was amazing! Fatoosh was so so good & Shish Tawook also so tender & melts in your mouth! We were too full & couldn't order dessert but i really really wanted to try the famous Baklava Pancakes so we ended up going the next day just to have that. DONT miss it....it's amazing!!!! Save room for dessert. The wine was also Great as well as the Butterfly cocktail I believe it's called. Next time we are in Montreal I will definitely be coming back!View more

אכלנו במקום ארוחת ערב בספטמבר 2024. הזמנו 2 סלט פאטוש (סלט ירקות עם שברי פיתות, 22 דולר קנדי כ"א, ראו תמונה), ארטישוק ירושלמי (22 דולר), סלט חצילים (מגיע עם רימונים, שלעתי מיותרים, ראו תמונה) וסלט חומוס (14 דולר כ"א, ראו תמונה), לפני מיסים. המלצר היה מאוד חביב ושירותי. האוכל היה טעים והגיע מהר, עם פיתות טעימות. המקום גדול ומרווח. ישבנו במרפסת הפתוחה והנעימה, שעל הכביש מול הנהר.View more

Really great food & service! The owner & waitress were super attentive. The only issue is that its very expensive for what you get (a non-alcoholic drink was close to $20) but the portion sizes are decent & it has a nice vibe on the inside.View more

Hayat in Montreal, overlooking the old port waterfront, offers a beautiful dining experience with both outdoor & indoor seating. The fusion of food was so delicious that I could only take two photos before it was all gobbled up. The staff were attentive, & Nathaniel's exceptional service truly stood out. He carefully listened to our preferences & recommended dishes that perfectly suited our tastes. The food quality was outstanding, with generous portions, & the dessert is an absolute must-try! Highly recommended!View more

Food was good but not great, for the price I would expect more flavors & a sense of creativity from the chef. If you want gourmet Lebanese just go to Sumac & spend 1/4 of the price. Service & atmosphere are great.View more

I don't usually go to Middle Eastern restaurants (to avoid getting disappointed as a Middle Eastern person). We we were heading to a different restaurant which did not accommodate us so we ended trying to Hayat & they were very welcoming & accommodated us despite being very busy. It probably was one of the best (if not the best) Middle Eastern/Syrian food we had in North America. Everything we ate was great including the eggplant kebab, shish tawook, soujouk, fattoush, shrimp, ice cream, desserts, & others. The portions are good in size. This was not your usual Middle Eastern restaurant. The food presentation was great, & the chef's amazing culinary skills & touch were very clear. The service was great & food arrived quickly, despite being busy. Highly recommended.View more
