Review Summary

Poissonnerie & Restaurant Rayan is widely praised for its exceptionally fresh and delicious seafood, which patrons can personally select and have prepared to their liking in a unique market-style environment. Many long-time visitors and newcomers alike highlight the high quality of dishes like calamari, grilled fish, and shrimp, often comparing the warm, authentic atmosphere to dining in the Middle East. While the culinary experience is consistently rated as top-tier, several guests have raised concerns regarding a lack of transparent pricing, the absence of a menu, and issues with final billing practices, including unexpected service charges or tax discrepancies. Despite these points of contention, the majority of diners appreciate the attentive staff and the overall flavor, making it a popular and frequently recommended destination for seafood enthusiasts in Montreal.

I am in love with this food spot, everything is fresh & food is served quick & hot. It's very similar to an all you can eat seafood joint, you give the staff your order & how much of the food you would like & they cook it for you & serve. The food is very flavorful & portions are large. You definitely should come here when you are starving because the meal is very heavy depending on how much you order. The staff was also very friendly & diverse which is great for tourist. 10/10 highly recommend. I will come back here again.

The food was delicious, the service was fast just slightly lacked a bit of professionalism. Case in point, when we asked for a refill for harissa the waiter wanted to take our already used plate & add it on top of it. We kindly requested them to bring us a new plate. Other than this tiny mishap, everything was great!

This seafood restaurant offers a pleasant experience, though some dishes could be a bit fresher. The service was fine, though not particularly memorable. It's a good spot for a casual meal, with room for improvement.

All the food was wonderful. We had the calamari, rice pilaf, fried basa & the sauteed shrimp in garlic sauce. The grilled octopus was excellent-- tender but with a nice smoky taste. However...make sure you have loads of cash with you.
