About

Poissonnerie & Restaurant Rayan functions as a dual-purpose space where fresh maritime offerings move directly from refrigerated displays to the preparation area. Patrons select raw catch from the counter, allowing for customized cooking styles that highlight the natural, briny essence of the sea. The menu relies on high-quality ingredients, resulting in savory dishes that retain a crisp texture and deep, clean flavors. Seasonal varieties ensure that the selection remains diverse, reflecting the inherent characteristics of each oceanic harvest. The preparation process emphasizes straightforward methods that preserve the delicate integrity of every fillet and crustacean. This combination of a retail fish market and an open kitchen provides a direct link between the raw product and the finished plate for those seeking simple, flavorful seafood preparations.

Review Summary

Poissonnerie Rayan receives consistent praise for the freshness and high quality of its seafood, with many patrons appreciating the unique concept of selecting items directly from the counter to be prepared. While the food is frequently described as delicious, experiences regarding service and atmosphere are polarized. Many customers enjoy a professional and welcoming environment, noting friendly staff, but others report significant inconsistencies, including long wait times, unprofessional behavior, and issues with temperature control or table management. Despite debates over pricing, most visitors agree that the ingredients are excellent, though the overall dining experience varies depending on the day and the staff on duty.

Used to be a solid 4.5-star restaurant back in the day. Unfortunately, the quality has declined dramatically.

The rice was completely bland & unseasoned. At $16 for a'large,' the portion was disappointing & could have easily passed as a small. To make matters worse, it was filled with what appeared to be frozen vegetables like peas, which felt cheap & out of place.

The calamari was even more disappointing. At nearly $20, I expected something fresh & enjoyable. Instead, it was chewy, rubbery, & difficult to eat. The texture was unpleasant, & the overall product tasted heavily processed.

Prices have gone up while quality & portions seem to have gone in the opposite direction. Based on this experience, I won't be returning.

Not your typical restaurant. Whereas you have to choose the sea food that you want to eat. Very fresh ingredients. The staff was very accommodating. Amazing quality 👌

This place is great! They have a good selection of sea food. We tried the Calamari & the fish called Saint-Pierre. Both were fresh & delicious.

I'm used to going to Rayan on Côte-des-Neiges but this one is very different !It is stilll the same amazing & fresh seafood, but with a new modern & clean look, comfortable seats, & warm ambiance! I highly recommend trying the garlic shrimps, potatoes, the salads & of course, the octopus & calamari !

Great seafood selection & super fresh. This is probably one of the best Rayans I've been to. I had scallops, fish, octopus, shrimp & calamari with rice & salad. Price was very reasonable. Highly recommended

The food is very fresh & tasty. However, the service is not great. They barely come to take off what is not needed on the table anymore, we needed to ask for water, no one came to ask us if we needed anything more. Food is amazing. Service could be better.
