Reviews portray Poissonnerie Rayan as a standout for fresh seafood in Montreal, with praise for the variety and quality of items such as calamari, swordfish, octopus and shrimp, and for the option to select seafood from a display and have it prepared on the spot in a market style. Several notes mention that sides are not included and must be ordered separately, and that prices can be high with some reviews noting a lack of upfront price display. Service is often described as friendly and attentive, with many praising the staff's hospitality and knowledge, though a few readers report rushed checkout or inconsistent service. Many reviewers value the freshness, the ability to taste a wide range of seafood, and the overall atmosphere, comparing it to a seaside or Mediterranean setting. Some comments mention price increases and urge clearer menus and better price transparency at the start, while others feel the quality justifies the cost. Overall the place is described as a beloved go to for seafood lovers, with generous portions and strong loyalty, though a few reviews warn to check the bill carefully before paying.

The fries & salads were so good!

If you are seafoods lovers this is a place you must come. Here you need to come & select your fish & ask them how to prepare it!!! Such a nice experience!!

We had potato wedges; definitely one of the best potato wedges I have ever had.

Grilled octopus was fabulous; the preparation was completely unique; probably the best grilled octopus I have ever had in my life. But you need to eat it when it's hot; the more cold it becomes it will lose the taste.

Then comes to fried red snapper; it was delicious as well.

Overall it was an amazing experience; very friendly customer service.

However keep it in mind; it's really expensive place as well; so it's not somewhere you can go a lot even if you want.

Favorite seafood restaurant ever. Food is always fresh & the place very clean. They offer a large variety of seafood products. Even if the place is often crowded, the dining room is so large & the staff so efficient, I never had to wait to long. I always take the octopus, tiger shrimp, calamari, potatoes & salad 👌👌👌

Overall the food is good. Only the octopus is a bit too expensive. $38 per pound!

All the food was wonderful. We had the calamari, rice pilaf, fried basa & the sauteed shrimp in garlic sauce. The grilled octopus was excellent-- tender but with a nice smoky taste. However...make sure you have loads of cash with you.

Hands down the best fish resto in MTL!! Everything is always fresh, especially the octopus which melts in your mouth, fried calamari, shrimp, & red snapper.

Seafood is my comfort food. Rayan is the closest to go. Yesterday, i bought fried calamares, octopus & rice for dinner to go. It cost much but its worth it. Its delicious & you will surely get full.
