Excellent service premièrement, nourriture incroyable, apprêtée avec minutie & professionnalisme. Enfin, un brunch qui se démarque à Montréal ! Les saveurs, les épices, tout était au rendez vous. Nous avons adoré & nous reviendrons. Pour les frileux du stationnement ; venez tôt, il y a de la place sur la rue ou un stationnement public (20$), tout près.View more

Tried this place recently & honestly wasn't too impressed. The food was super plain & didn't have much flavor. The service wasn't great either! it felt like the waiter just wanted us to eat quickly & leave, which made things a bit awkward. Overall, not somewhere I'd be in a rush to go back to.View more

We had the privilege of being welcomed by the amazing team at Shay & none other than the infamous Olivier. Everything from the food, the ambiance & the music was well curated & reflected the passion & pride they take in making our experience at Shay unforgettable. One taste of the mouhamara & you'll be convinced! Thank you guys for such a great evening & the warm welcome!View more

L'intérieur est beau & invitant, & la bonne musique chaleureuse rajoute sa note à l'ambiance.
Ayant pris un bon déjeuner ce matin-là, je ne voulais pas manger des oeufs à nouveau, donc la crêpe à la baklava & pistaches. Délicieux!
Le service, quoique les deux serveuses étaient sympathiques, souriantes, il y avait un peu de confusion au moment de payer avec des erreurs sur les factures, qui s'est réglée au final. C'est probablement singulier comme expérience & non habituel, par contre, ce fut l'expérience de mon groupe. Mais. Point d'un point de vue général, je vais définitivement y retourner! Je recommande!View more
