Review Summary

Poissonnerie Rayan is widely regarded as a top destination in Montreal for fresh, high-quality seafood that is prepared to order in a market-style format where patrons select their own fish and preparation method. Many diners praise the authentic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors, particularly highlighting the calamari, tiger shrimp, grilled fish, and potato wedges as standout dishes. While the atmosphere is often described as welcoming and reminiscent of seaside dining, some customers have expressed frustration regarding a lack of clear pricing, the pressure to order large portions, and what they perceive as high costs. Although the majority of reviews celebrate the delicious food and helpful service, others have noted inconsistencies in the billing process and staff attentiveness, suggesting that while the culinary experience is consistently excellent for many, prospective visitors should remain mindful of their total order to ensure a smooth and budget-conscious experience.

Amazing seafood & great service, but be careful when paying the bill. READ REVIEWS FIRST & ASK FOR A PAPER BILL

our fourth visit, & disappointed.
the cashier encouraged us to use cash & directed us to an ATM, that taxes would be waived for cash payments.

tip had already been added to the bill without being approved by us.

Additionally, we had been overcharged by $30 that was exactly equal to the taxes we supposedly saved.

Customers are misled & overcharged. several others seem to describe similar experiences.

I ordered just under 50 grams of shrimp, calamari that I could actually chew, & octopus. For this, I ended up paying $75 for frozen seafood.

I had an outstanding experience at Poissonnerie Rayan. The freshness of the fish is undeniable, & being able to personally select exactly what you want from the display makes the whole experience feel authentic & reassuring. We tried the dorade & calamari, & everything was incredibly delicious, perfectly cooked, & full of flavor. I also appreciated that there's a convenient option to order to go without compromising on quality. The cozy, welcoming environment makes it a great spot to relax & enjoy top-notch seafood. Highly recommended!!!

As you walk in, they direct you to the back where you choose the fresh fish & seafood you want & tell them if you want it grilled or fried. Then you go sit down & wait for them to bring it to you. We were pleasantly surprised there was no fresh fish/seafood or fried smells in the dining area, the food was excellent, perfectly seasoned & grilled/fried. It's a little pricey but it is fresh fish & seafood cooked on demand. Would definitely go back!

I used to work in a seafood kitchen so my love i dear. I went for the fish & chips & the fish portion was horrible undercooked & also chewy. Bad portion as well. On top of this when I went to pickup for takeout they had a cash only which of course had an atm even though they had a debit machine. Charge me an extra 3$ to take out cash. Something they could have said on the phone. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
