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.

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.

This restaurant has become one of my go-to spots, & for good reason. The food is consistently excellent-beautifully prepared, flavorful, & clearly made with care. The service is warm & professional, & the ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy & refined. Whether for a casual meal or a special occasion, it never fails to impress.
