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.
I've been going to La Sirène for over 20 years & it has never once disappointed. This restaurant is truly exceptional & has become a real Montreal institution.
The food is always outstanding - incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, & remarkably consistent. Their fish market is easily one of the best in Montreal, offering exceptional quality seafood every time.
What also makes this place stand out is the service. Many members of the staff have been there for years, & they are incredibly attentive & well-trained. They genuinely remember their clients, their preferences, & their needs, which makes every visit feel personal & welcoming.
The owner is also very present, friendly, & attentive, which contributes greatly to the warm atmosphere of the restaurant.
Whether for lunch or dinner, La Sirène consistently offers exceptional food & service. If you are looking for one of the best & most reliable dining experiences in Montreal, this restaurant truly delivers every single time.
We were really disappointed with our experience. The food is just not the same anymore & lacks flavor. We ordered a wide variety of dishes - meat, fish, appetizers, & salads - hoping at least some would stand out, but unfortunately everything was quite bland & not tasty.
On top of that, the service was also disappointing.
This restaurant is not what it used to be. The quality of both the food & the service has clearly gone down. Sadly, we won't be coming back.

Fantastic quality fresh fish & whole foods. Perfect for groups & family affairs. The cheese phyllo appetizer is incomparable. I highly recommend getting all the dips
I've been coming here for the past 14 years, & it used to be one of the nicest seafood restaurants. Unfortunately, the quality of service has declined, & there is now an unpleasant smell in the dining area. They once had amazing waiters, but my last three visits have been disappointing. Except for the gentleman with the ponytail, who is excellent, I see new staff every time I come.
This was our last visit. Today, it was just the two of us. The waiter brought the wrong main dish for me, & both the appetizers & main courses arrived at the same time. Since my wife's order was correct, she had no choice but to start eating without me so her food wouldn't get cold. I waited about 30 minutes before receiving my meal.
The food quality remains somewhat the same as what it used to be for the past few years, but the service has deteriorated. The staff appeared uninterested in their work, playing with glassware & making noise, which made the place feel chaotic. I am still giving this restaurant two stars only because we once loved it. Sadly, we will not be returning.
Very nice & welcoming staff. The restaurant is well located & has a cute terrace. However, the fattouche salad, the squid & the fries were not my favorite, overalla bit bland. The prices are very high for the quality of the food/ingredients.
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.
I have been going to la sirène de la mer for as long as I can remember. The quality, service, friendly & familiar atmosphere always gives me a great feeling & satisfied evening. I recommend for fancy or casual lunch/dinners, big or small groups. Always a great time!
