Review Summary

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.

Les serveuses étaient très gentille mais le mr chez qui tu choisi la les fruits de mer était très désagréables. Je ne vais pas répéter l'expériance. Car en fin de journée je suis client & je ne vais pas payer pour qu'une personne soit désagréables en vers moi. Néanmoins je recommande car j'aime les fruits de mer & il faut reconnaître qu'il le cuisine bien.

Vous repassez par Côte-des-Neiges après quelques années & vous choisissez poissonnerie Rayan pour manger en ayant comme souvenir gustatif, le resto d'autant. Grosse déception à part le goût des crevettes à l'ail qui reste fidèle à lui-même (très cher). Vous allez payer un bras pour de l'amidon (de la patate & du riz). On nous prend un peu pour des pigeons en nous servant la grosse portion de patates où vous devez fouiller pour trouver les quelques petits morceaux de poisson pané (ils n'ont même pas eu la décence de servir un filet entier de poisson). Une panure de poisson des plus cheap sans aucun goût : de la farine (on est loin de la chapelure Panko). Bref, ne gaspillez pas votre argent. Vraiment dommage que ce resto ait perdu de sa valeur.

The restaurant is really authentic. There is no specific menu portion. You can choose from fresh ingredients (fruit de mere) in the fridge & say a wight. They will prepare it in their way & serve it. The material was fresh & juicy.

Rayan is the best seafood restaurant in Quebec! Whenever I visit Montreal, I make sure to stop by their restaurant. We've tried their grilled sea bass BBQ, fried calamari, fries, garden salad, fried basa, & popcorn shrimp. Everything is fresh & delicious, but their fried calamari is on another level-absolutely the best! The staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming, creating such a warm atmosphere. This is the perfect place to visit with family. Highly recommend Rayan to anyone looking for amazing seafood & great service!

La Poissonnerie Rayan est une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de fruits de mer frais & savoureux. Le concept unique permet de choisir directement son poisson ou ses fruits de mer, qui sont ensuite préparés selon vos préférences. Les assaisonnements & la cuisson sont toujours au rendez-vous, offrant des plats généreux & pleins de saveurs. L'ambiance est conviviale, bien qu'un peu bruyante aux heures de pointe. Le rapport qualité-prix est très attractif pour la fraîcheur & la quantité proposées. Un excellent choix pour une sortie en famille ou entre amis, surtout si vous aimez des repas simples & authentiques.

Pour manger du poisson frais (merlan, calamars, crevettes, pieuvre, etc…) , c'est mon meilleur endroit. A recommander FORTEMENT Propre Excellent service Petit inconvénient : par moment, une file d'attente pour choisir le poisson ou pour payer. .
