La Sirène De La Mer is widely praised for fresh seafood and authentic Lebanese coastal flavors, with the fish described as incredibly fresh and the mezze generous and well balanced. The atmosphere is often described as elegant, chic, and welcoming, making it a good choice for celebrations and gatherings. Service is frequently noted as professional and attentive, but some visits report slower, less consistent service and longer waits on busy nights. A few reviews mention noise and crowds as a drawback, while others emphasize consistent quality and the option to choose your own fish to be prepared to order. Standout elements for many guests include hummus, warm dips, and dessert, as well as the ability to pair seafood with Lebanese specialties. Overall, La Sirène De La Mer comes across as a top Lebanese seafood destination with strong hospitality and memorable meals, though experiences may vary with crowd level and time of visit.
La Sirène de la Mer is an absolute gem for seafood lovers. This is an authentic Lebanese restaurant that truly captures the rich flavors & traditions of Lebanese coastal cuisine. The fish is incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, & beautifully presented. The grilled shrimp & whole sea bream were tender, juicy, & full of flavor. The mezze selection is fresh & generous, adding even more authenticity to the experience. The service is warm, attentive, & welcoming, making you feel like family from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is charming & relaxing. Highly recommended for delicious, fresh seafood & genuine Lebanese hospitality.
The food was a disapointment except for the hummus & grilled lamb chops. The fattoush salad & side orders (rice & veggies) disapointed significantly.
Plus we waited over 15 minutes for the waiter to show-up. Lots of holes in the service that have to be addressed, it's unlike the Lebanese standard in hospitality. Food definitely needs to be more Lebanese for taste.
Overrated place & not going again.

La Sirène de la Mer is a Lebanese seafood restaurant. Located off the beaten path, it is worth a detour.
The restaurant is bright, spacious & clean, it features floor to ceiling windows which brings in a natural light. Service is formal, with white table cloth & uniformed waiters.
The menu showcases mainly seafood but not only, prepared in Lebanese, Eastern Mediterranean style, with fresh pita bread as an opener. We ordered fish & it was good. Portions were generous.
In addition to the restaurant, which is on the left side of the building, the right side of La Sirène de la Mer hosts a fresh seafood store, with a good variety of fresh fish & seafood, including live lobster.
The service, the food & the desserts, which were more distinctly Lebanese, Eastern Mediterranean in nature, were all delicious. The side order of truffle fries we added to our selection were also very tasty, perfectly done.
We had lunch today at La Sirène de la Mer, & it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The restaurant offers a rich & diverse menu that beautifully blends Mediterranean & Lebanese cuisine. Their wide selection of cold & hot starters-both seafood & non-seafood-is impressive & perfect for sharing.
One of the highlights is the ability to choose your own fish & have it prepared exactly the way you like it-something you don't often find elsewhere. Every single dish we ordered was spot-on in flavor, freshness, & presentation.
A special thank you to Chef Samer, who absolutely nailed it with every plate. His attention to detail & mastery of flavors took our dining experience to the next level.
La Sirène de la Mer truly nailed it. Whether you're a local or a visitor to Montreal, this place is a must-try. Highly recommended!
Excellent sea-food oriented Lebanese restaurant. Overall the best Lebanese restaurant I've tried in Montréal. The place is classic & elegant. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but once it in, it really is nice. Service was very speedy, friendly & efficient. They brought us hot water to warm our baby bottle. Food wise, this is the closest to restaurants in Lebanon I've tried in the city. Most of the mezze were good or very good (hummus, fatoush, cheese rolls, veggie kebbeh, mouhamarah). Only one we didn't like was the babaghanouj, not smoky enough. The shish taouk was very good, so was the grilled octopus & the fried eggplant & zucchini. We had a great meal with family visiting from Lebanon & 2 very young kids. I woudl absolutely recommend to anyone looking to discover real lebanase food, either for a dinner with friends, family or a romantic dinner.
One of my favorite places for authentic Lebanese food, especially sea food. The restaurant is wide, & I love the white tablecloths. Service is on point. I truly feel home there.
Delicious & fresh food, copious dishes, & quick service. This lebanese restaurant is one of my favorites in Montréal. It's perfect for sharing dishes. The flavor & the freshness of the ingredients is a highlight. Also, the service is quick & usually attentive. Definitely recommended!
Sirene is an amazing restaurant option for family gatherings around delicious Lebanese/Mediterranean style seafood cuisine. I like going there for a special occasion. The service is always impeccable & the manager, Milad, always makes sure all the guests are enjoying their experience at the restaurant. The food is delicious - simple yet flavorful. The restaurant is always clean & has an overall classy atmosphere.
One of the best Lebanese restaurants. Great seafood, you can choose at the kitchen what you want to have. Loved the grilled fish, fried fish, the mezza, the grilled squids, the oysters, all cooked to perfection. Yummy 😋 & fresh. Best service 🤠 ever.
A Lebanese cuisine restaurant which is known for fresh seafood. Actually, all foods were prepared with high quality & fresh ingredients. All cooked well & delicious. A very joyful meal.
I have been coming to this restaurant shortly after it opened. By far one of the best places in the city for fresh seafood from their in house seafood store, but also freshly prepared in multiple cooking methods according the a clients preference. Their menue these days blends the Middle East with Mediterranean with a leaning to a leaning toward Lebanese food. So why not 5 stars instead of 4? Simple - I do not believe that the price is commensurate with the product. The product is good quality for sure & fresh for sure, but far too many times have I ordered the chicken & it was dry. Moreover, I find that the quantity to be a little less than it should be as well on numerous items. Now this could be because they have a captive market & an audience that fully accepts this, but for me I look at it in a fair manner for all audiences who've not been here. So, this being stated the decor is simple yet classy & the only flaw to this is the noise level as there is nothing to absorb sound at all. The staff are lovely though there are times where some have a difficult understanding & communicating in English & even French at times. The presentation is great & the seasoning of all the foods ( I have at this point tried everything on the menu), & tastes delicious to say the least. Obviously their edge is with their amazing seafood & fish products & although pricy, they are delicious & if you don't mind price - go for it you won't be let down at all. Their desserts are also delicious as noted in my photos & also a list, fattoush salad, & one of the best babaganoush in the city bar none. You might also find their shrimp plate to be exceptional as well as the little lightly breaded & fried fish (forget the type), & their foul is like being in the Middle East. Oddly enough, their (white) creamy clam chowder is chock full of clams & you'll want another bowl for sure as it rivals those from Boston. Service is very good & they do take care of you. It can be problematic when there are large table groups as the servers tend to favour these large groups more than a small table of two to four people. I suppose it may have to do with the size of the bill & associated tip but I can't blame the services for this as most servers would likely do the same. So to avoid this a little, I prefer to go earlier before the place gets too busy & noisy - say around 5:00 pm & no later than 5:45. By the time you're done your meal it will have filled up & become noisy. Don't forget to have dessert such as their chocolate cake, their baklava & their amazing cheese cake. Their wine & alcohol selection is rock solid & should please even the discerning connoisseur. Hope you enjoy eating here as much as we/I have over the years & will continue to on the future.
My friend highly recommended this restaurant, which seems to be a mix of Lebanese food & seafood. We had oysters, truffle fries, grilled octopus, & frog legs. The octopus was cooked to perfection, with such a tender interior. Its accompanying side was just average. The frog legs were good, but the lemony sauce hid the delicate natural flavor of the frog legs. On the expensive side for the food served, but it makes for a classy dining experience.
