The baklava pancakes were great, great texture contrast with the baklava pieces, good syrup to pancake ratio. It's a must order!

Visited Shay for a brunch while in Montreal for the weekend from Toronto. Food photos online look unreal, but in real life the food was very meh… we ordered the Shay breakfast sandwhich, bun was not toasted & soggy with heavy mayo & gross iceberg lettuce… made the meal almost inedible… coffee was alright but was charged 10$ for a very small iced vanilla latte. They also charged for hot sauce, without notifying us. I wouldn't recommend skipping this spot, & exploring a different spot … overall disappointing on all fronts

Que de bons mots pour le shay. C'était exquis.... goûteux, riche, différent de ce que j'ai l'habitude de manger dans les brunchs. Je vais revenir à coup sûr. L'endroit est soigné, la musique est bonne, le staff est engagé. Merci pour l'expérience culinaire.

The food is exceptional. The mouhamara is a favorite, everyone should order it. Food is fresh, elegant without being snob, service is friendly. This is my favourite discovery of 2026 so far.

I don't understand how anyone can give this restaurant a bad review. The food is incredible, the presentation is eye catching & the service & care is attentive & helpful. We had one of the best dinners there during the 2026 Montreal GP. Despite how busy the restaurant was, the staff spent the time necessary to ensure we were cared for. They recommended dishes that were spot on. Thank you Julian & Paulina for a truly exceptional experience. We will be back on our next trip to Montreal. We highly recommend Shay.
