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.

Très mauvaise expérience.

Le restaurant ne propose pas de menus : tous les plats sont vendus au poids, ce qui peut rapidement faire monter la facture sans que le prix final soit très clair.

Au moment de payer, on m'a demandé si je souhaitais payer en espèces ou par carte. On m'a laissé entendre qu'en payant comptant, je n'aurais pas à payer les taxes. J'ai accepté, mais le montant demandé correspondait finalement au total avec les taxes. Lorsque j'ai demandé pourquoi, on m'a répondu qu'un pourboire de 15 % avait été ajouté automatiquement, sans que cela m'ait été annoncé à l'avance ni que j'aie donné mon accord.

Je trouve cette façon de faire trompeuse. J'aurais préféré que les prix, les taxes & tout pourboire obligatoire soient expliqués clairement dès le départ, afin d'éviter toute mauvaise surprise au moment de payer. Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant.

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.

Meilleure place pour manger des calmars fris, ils sont imbattables. J'adore les crevettes tigres & surtout les pataes. C'est mon endroit préféré pour manger du poisson & des fruits de mer cuisinés à la méditerranéenne.

Food tastes good but overpriced. Per piece lobster was $22. Tip was kind of mandatory for them. At the kitchen, the main chef in fish section didn't allow us time to choose fish & he was rushing which disappointed us.
