Très beau restaurant, très propre, belle décoration. Les serveuses sont sympas, le monsieur au comptoir de poisson est de bon conseil. La nourriture est vraiment savoureuse, & le rapport qualité prix est excellent. Je conseille vivement!

The food is great, but the service was long & really slow. The fish station guys didn't seem to care too much about speed. Paying at the cash seemed painful for the cashier to execute & the manager seemed a bit too controlling over everything. To sum up, I prefer the CDN franchise as they are more welcoming & the atmosphere is more welcoming.
Palatable, as always. My go-to for seafood in YUL, it's on par with some of the best seafood joints in YVR. I highly recommend the rice, you won't regret it.
La nourriture est fraîche & goûteuse. Le prix est justifié par la qualité & la portion des repas. J'enlève une étoile car j'aurais aimé avoir l'opportunité d'amener un vin pour accompagner mon repas, ou bien d'avoir l'option de s'en faire servir. Excellent la nouvelle salle!

The food is as good & fresh as the original Rayan. This one is better overall as the CDN one is getting older. The free parking is a huge plus. Would recommend.
