Review Summary

Poissonnerie Rayan is widely regarded as a top-tier destination in Montreal for fresh seafood, offering an authentic market-style experience where diners select their fish and preferred cooking method directly from the display. Many patrons praise the delicious, flavorful preparation of dishes like calamari, shrimp, grilled fish, and potato wedges, often comparing the welcoming atmosphere and traditional flavors to dining along the Nile or the Mediterranean. While the service is frequently described as friendly and professional, opinions on pricing are mixed, with some customers noting the lack of a formal menu and clear upfront pricing as a point of frustration. Despite some concerns regarding billing transparency and the high cost of certain items, many loyal visitors continue to return for the consistent quality and the genuine, hospitable environment provided by the staff.

This restaurant has become one of my go-to spots, & for good reason. The food is consistently excellent-beautifully prepared, flavorful, & clearly made with care. The service is warm & professional, & the ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy & refined. Whether for a casual meal or a special occasion, it never fails to impress.

Décevant.
L'accueil est bien vaut 4🌟, mais le service à la poissonnerie moins que zéro en plus la cuisson laisse à désirer.
La constance n'est pas au rendez-vous, ce qui est pourtant essentiel dans un restaurant.
J'y suis déjà allé par le passé, & malheureusement, ça ne s'améliore pas.
Pour le prix, la qualité n'y était pas. Dommage, car le potentiel est là.

The food is very good & fresh, but the service is strange, definitely not in a good way.

When you enter, they guide you to choose your seafood items from the fridge, & then in a matter of seconds(!), you are stuck with some big portions, to which you really didn't consent! You have no clear idea how much your food is going to cost or weigh.

They have a wide selection of fish & other seafood items which is nice, but there is no one to properly explain for you what they are, how they are cooked (grilled? fried? etc.) I think they should respect their customers more, give them a decent menu, & enough time at the table to order properly, instead of rushing them to order right away in front of a crowded fridge.

We have ordered on 3 occasions & we live in ndg so we traveled a 25$ taxi fare to get their food which was delicious the salmon & the shrimp with rice all in all worth every penny. I recommend a visit to their place if you want fresh seafood large portions yes a little expensive but if you calculate the cost of seafood then their prices are reasonable.
