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.
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!
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.
The food is very good & fresh, but the service is strange, definitely not in a good way.
When you enter, they guide you to choose your seafood items from the fridge, & then in a matter of seconds(!), you are stuck with some big portions, to which you really didn't consent! You have no clear idea how much your food is going to cost or weigh.
They have a wide selection of fish & other seafood items which is nice, but there is no one to properly explain for you what they are, how they are cooked (grilled? fried? etc.) I think they should respect their customers more, give them a decent menu, & enough time at the table to order properly, instead of rushing them to order right away in front of a crowded fridge.

Rayan is the best seafood restaurant in Quebec! Whenever I visit Montreal, I make sure to stop by their restaurant. We've tried their grilled sea bass BBQ, fried calamari, fries, garden salad, fried basa, & popcorn shrimp. Everything is fresh & delicious, but their fried calamari is on another level-absolutely the best! The staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming, creating such a warm atmosphere. This is the perfect place to visit with family. Highly recommend Rayan to anyone looking for amazing seafood & great service!
The calamaris were definitely old & very chewy wouldn't recommend. I ordered a fish I thought I was ordering fried fillet of fish but they just fried the entire fish I choose there was no seasoning whatsoever. I took the tiger shrimps in butter once again lack of flavor very low on salt. Overall very disappointing I used to like this restaurant.
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.
This has been my third time eating in this restaurant. Food was good, as usual. We ordered fried shrimps, shrimps & mussels in garlic butter sauce, calamari, fried fish, & rice. I would recommend their fried fish; the spices & herbs really work to bring out the best flavour. Restroom was clean. There servers were mostly kind & attentive. Only downside is there's no free parking. Would definitely recommend! :)
