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.

Restaurant À éviter

Je déconseille fortement ce restaurant.
Nous y sommes allés le dimanche 18 Janvier 2026 entre 7h30 & 9h30 3 perssone

Notre commande :

2 petits poissons dorade

1 petit poisson loup

1 petite pieuvre

Quelques grammes de calamars

Une petite salade très basique

Une petite portion de frites

Total : 300 $, ce qui est totalement excessif pour la quantité & la qualité servies.

Le restaurant était pratiquement vide, ce qui en dit long. De plus, on nous a fortement insisté pour payer uniquement en argent comptant, ce qui est très suspect.

Rapport qualité-prix catastrophique.
Je ne recommande absolument pas ce restaurant.

⚠? ATTENTION ⚠?

Nous sommes des habitués de ce restaurant &, malheureusement, à chacune de nos visites, nous avons rencontré des problèmes avec la facture.

Lors de l'avant-dernière visite, la personne à la caisse a ajouté 33 $ de plus à notre facture. Après avoir demandé un recompte, elle a reconnu son erreur & a dû nous rembourser.

Lors de notre dernière visite, j'ai pris soin de noter tous les montants au moment de la commande afin de vérifier le total à payer. On nous a alors proposé de payer en espèces pour éviter les taxes. Toutefois, au moment du paiement, les taxes ont finalement été ajoutées, sous prétexte qu'il s'agissait du pourboire. En réalité, on nous explique que le paiement en espèces est pour le patron, & que les taxes doivent être ajoutées en argent comptant pour les employés.

👉 Soyez extrêmement vigilants avec la personne à la caisse. Vérifiez toujours votre facture.
Ce genre de pratique donne malheureusement l'impression d'une tentative d'arnaque.

We know Rayan for many years. We have not been there for 2-3 yrs now, so before revisiting the place I was reading reviews & checked the website. For one, I NEVER saw a restaurant that does not display prices AT ALL...Reading some reviews I came to the conclusion that a lot of people were quite disappointed & complained about the prices & food quality in general. Remembering the good experiences we had in the past & reading the BAD reviews I decided not to take a chance to spend a lot of money & regret it. Too bad RAYAN, that is not how you build a good business.
