Les avis sur Poissonnerie Rayan mettent en avant la fraîcheur et la diversité des fruits de mer et poissons, avec un système où l’on choisit les produits dans le frigo et on les fait préparer selon sa cuisson, sans menu fixe et sans affichage clair des prix à l’avance et les paiements par carte ne sont pas acceptés, il faut prévoir du liquide; les plats sont souvent décrits comme délicieux et généreux, notamment calamars, crevettes, homard et poisson frais, et l’ambiance est chaleureuse et familiale avec une touche mediterraneenne ou egyptienne selon les tables, même si certains trouvent les tarifs élevés et pensent qu’il faut vérifier la facture et le poids des articles; le service est apprécié pour son accueil et sa rapidité par certains, mais d’autres signalent des passages pressés à la caisse, des incohérences de facturation et des cuissons moins réussies; l’endroit est souvent décrit comme propre et convivial, avec des options pour manger sur place ou emporter, et pour les amoureux des fruits de mer c’est une adresse fiable et savoureuse à Montréal, malgré des expériences variables et des prix parfois élevés.
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!

The food is good, it's not the first time we go to Rayan but the last time we came is a long time ago. They do not tell you how much you will pay before hand which is wrong. We paid $200 for 2 people we only got shrimps & calamari & 1 small red snapper fish…. If you want to charge this much include sides, offer alcohol drinks & turn the restaurant into a LUXURY restaurant. The place isn't nice looking & it's not an experience in order for you to charge an exorbitant amount of money. It's better you change your branding into a luxury restaurant make the inside looks appropriate for the amount of money you're charging. You can't charge 5 star restaurant for a place that looks like a fast food & also receive fast food service. C'mon. Won't be back ever again in my life.
There is no menu & price before hand !
3 people, we spend 210$, 2fish, one plate of calamari & shrimp.
Their dishes dont have sides & you have to order them separately & pay for them.
Even the fish didnt have fries!
It was delicious but expensive & confusing!
I prefer to know what im gonna order in advance & how much im gonna to pay.
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.
Rayan is a favourite of mine, I am a regular. It reminds me of being in Egypt where fresh fish has been caught. You pick your fish & let them know how you would like it prepared & seasoned. Our favourites the smelt, shrimps, potatoe wedges & salad. There is bound to be left overs. Portions are generous. The seasoning, textures & freshness are unbeatable.They have sustainable take boxes & paper bags. We were three women & could not eat it all. Served family style. The owner is a delightful Egyptian Canadian gentlemen. The staff, team are helpful. Service is great. The flavours, freshness of our seafood & fish dishes are delicious. I feel as if I am by a seaside restaurant in Alexandria or the Red Sea. With Egyptian music playing in the background. Fun as I would recognise the music!
They have no beer, wine, alcohol nor is it a BYOW.( just like in Egypt). They do have Egyptian soft drinks.
Its always full after 20h00. The diners come diverse backgrounds, just like the neighbourhood & it is just beautiful.

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.
Very good fish place. You can buy the fish to take or have it cooked in different ways & eat at the restaurant.
We tried the red snapper & the calamari. Both were very good.
Had veggies & bread too with our meal.
The service was good, but thebl place can get busy, so you need to be patient. Definitely worth it.
I will definitely came back here & try other items.
Shrimp looked good too.
Make sure you have a debit card or cash. They do not take credit cards.
The only negative I have is the bathroom, please have it checked & cleaned little more often.
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.
Rayan is a seafood restaurant that offers a truly fresh & unique experience. The moment you arrive, you'll be guided to the display fridge to choose from a variety of fish, shrimp, crab, & other available seafood. You simply pick what you like, & then you're shown to your table.
Right away, your seafood is freshly prepared & served in a delicious Greek style. If you love seafood, I'm sure you'll be happy with your choice.
Personally, I don't particularly enjoy peeling shrimp at the table, but that takes nothing away from the freshness & incredible taste of the food.
The restaurant is great, the fish is so yummy!
Washrooms are very very clean. & the atmosphere is nice with music.
The staff is so friendly, I highly recommend this place even if the price is a little bit high!

Nothing to tell honestly. Rayan is a small fresh fish & seafood market & restaurant that has such great taste ! If you love seafood. There are dinning family tables for supper time meals in a middle eastern style that you have choices to choose from. Different rice styles. You choose how you want your order cooked & etc. or just bring it home & do your own thing but they don't mind. Every time I've been there I was served with lots of smiles & intent listening. They seem to always want to get it right for you & I love that.
Seating, pricing & service is very delightful here ! Tell them I sent you ! ❤?
Fish, fish, fish: this is an excellent place for lunch. We tried the following: queue d'homard, saumon, calamard, salade, crevettes, soupe. Top quality-of-experience for us.
I used to really enjoy this place, but I hadn't been in years. Unfortunately, my recent visit didn't live up to the memories. The potato wedges were dry on the inside. The small fish was so tiny that after frying, it turned into mostly crunchy, oily bits. Even though the sardines were really good, still, overall, the quality has slipped.
I would say the food is ok but a little expensive. The behaviour from the servers were very good. But the guy from whom we chose the fish & weights he was very rude & intimidating. He was kind of rushing us & forcing us to buy some items. & was not giving us time to choose.
