Poissonnerie & Restaurant Rayan fonctionne comme une poissonnerie où la sélection de produits de la mer est préparée à la demande. La cuisine met en valeur des influences méditerranéennes et moyen-orientales à travers des crevettes tigrées grillées, des calmars et des quartiers de pommes de terre savoureux. Le poisson frais est exposé pour permettre une sélection directe, favorisant une préparation personnalisée selon les préférences individuelles. L'ambiance évoque un cadre côtier qui accompagne la présentation simple des ingrédients arrivant directement de la mer. Chaque assiette privilégie des assaisonnements authentiques et des textures variées, allant des filets parfaitement grillés aux morceaux frits croustillants. La facturation reflète le poids et la diversité des produits choisis, nécessitant une attention particulière lors de la sélection pour bien évaluer le coût total du repas.
Poissonnerie Rayan est largement reconnue comme une destination incontournable à Montréal pour ses fruits de mer frais et de haute qualité, préparés sur demande selon un concept de marché où les clients choisissent eux-mêmes leur poisson et leur mode de cuisson. De nombreux convives louent les saveurs authentiques méditerranéennes et moyen-orientales, soulignant particulièrement la qualité des calmars, des crevettes tigres, des poissons grillés et des pommes de terre. Bien que l'ambiance soit souvent décrite comme chaleureuse et rappelant les restaurants de bord de mer, certains clients ont exprimé leur mécontentement concernant le manque de transparence sur les prix, la pression exercée pour commander de grosses portions et le coût jugé élevé de certains plats. Bien que la majorité des avis célèbrent la délicieuse cuisine et le service attentionné, d'autres ont relevé des incohérences lors de la facturation ou dans l'attention du personnel, suggérant que si l'expérience culinaire est excellente pour beaucoup, il est conseillé aux visiteurs de vérifier leurs commandes pour assurer une expérience agréable et sans surprise budgétaire.

Super nice seafood from middle east, fresh seafood market style, you select what you want & how it will be cooked. Very friendly staff. you must try the saute shrimps, it is out of this world, also grilled fish is very good, & their potatoes are fantastic
I had an outstanding experience at Poissonnerie Rayan. The freshness of the fish is undeniable, & being able to personally select exactly what you want from the display makes the whole experience feel authentic & reassuring. We tried the dorade & calamari, & everything was incredibly delicious, perfectly cooked, & full of flavor. I also appreciated that there's a convenient option to order to go without compromising on quality. The cozy, welcoming environment makes it a great spot to relax & enjoy top-notch seafood. Highly recommended!!!
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!
Rayan is a favourite of mine, I am a regular. It reminds me of being in Egypt where fresh fish has been caught. You pick your fish & let them know how you would like it prepared & seasoned. Our favourites the smelt, shrimps, potatoe wedges & salad. There is bound to be left overs. Portions are generous. The seasoning, textures & freshness are unbeatable.They have sustainable take boxes & paper bags. We were three women & could not eat it all. Served family style. The owner is a delightful Egyptian Canadian gentlemen. The staff, team are helpful. Service is great. The flavours, freshness of our seafood & fish dishes are delicious. I feel as if I am by a seaside restaurant in Alexandria or the Red Sea. With Egyptian music playing in the background. Fun as I would recognise the music!
They have no beer, wine, alcohol nor is it a BYOW.( just like in Egypt). They do have Egyptian soft drinks.
Its always full after 20h00. The diners come diverse backgrounds, just like the neighbourhood & it is just beautiful.
I ate at Rayan Restaurant in Montreal the food was really good, fresh, & full of flavor. Fatim Zahra was very helpful & friendly, & the guys who helped us with the portions were great too. Excellent service & generous dishes . I definitely recommend this place!
