About

The kitchen emphasizes Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences, serving dishes like grilled tiger shrimp, calamari, and savory potato wedges. Fresh fish is displayed directly for selection, allowing for a personalized preparation tailored to individual preferences.

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.

It was just wonderful! Everything was exactly as I wished. Well… except for the bill 😅 I've never eaten anything that tasty in Montreal so far. It seems I ate a lot & completely underestimated the cost - the final bill was double what I expected 🫣 But we brought some food home, so that helps.
The place is also Muslim-friendly 😊
Thanks for the service!

The service is poor!!!! The staff is unfriendly! If you like customer service when you spend $140 for two adults & one minor go somewhere else.

Très bon restaurant de poisson & fruits de mer, le meilleur en ville. Un restaurant égyptien comme j'ai pu les fréquenter sur les.bords du Nil quand j'habitais au Caire.
À expérimenter sans modération!

Dont go to this place if you do not want to pay fortune for a finger size fish. Probably the most expensive restaurant in Montreal. Dont go there.

Je vais chez Rayan depuis plus de 10, surtout celui à Bélanger, mais comme il est fermé, j'ai décidé d'aller au Rayan Côte-des-neiges, j'ai commandé des calmars frits & j'ai mangé les pires calmar frits de ma vie, sans goût ni assaisonnement ni serait qu'un peu de sel.

Revoyez la formation de vos cuisiniers & comment vous préparez vos plats. Si je n'avais pas manger dans les autres Rayan avant, je ne serai jamais revenu dans aucun Rayan à présent. Celui à Langelier est déjà 100x meilleur que celui là.

J'ai partagé ma mauvaise expérience à mon entourage & ils m'ont dit qu'ils évitent à tout prix le Rayan à Côté des neiges, car la nourriture est MAUVAISE. C'était vraiment mais vraiment pas bon. Plus jamais je reviens là-bas. Si vous continuez sur cette lancée, vous n'allez pas garder vos clients de longues dates.

Je déconseille FORTEMENT, si vous aimez les fruits de mer, allez à d'autres Rayan ou d'autres poissonneries/restaurants.

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!
