If you’re fortunate enough to have experienced a meal in the Middle East, you know all about their warmth, ambiance and extravagance. Whether it’s on a terrace accompanied by an afternoon tea, or sipping Arak in the evening, the “joie de vivre” can’t be missed.
Having successfully recreated the magic, our chef Joe Awad and his team have put together a menu featuring traditional flavours reimagined with a modern flare.
Our friendly and attentive staff will make you feel as though you’ve walked through the fabric of time to the other side of the world. Prepare your tastebuds, they’re in for an amazing experience!
SHAY earns high praise for its vibrant atmosphere, flavorful modern Lebanese cuisine, and consistently attentive service, with guests noting generous portions and standout items like mezze dips and lamb dishes, shakshuka and baklava pancakes; brunch shines with creative twists such as shawarma eggs Benedict and labneh, while cocktails and a lively DJ vibe add to the welcoming, upbeat experience and make many say they will definitely return.
Excellent choix pour me menu du brunch & différent. Belle ambiance. Retour assuré pour le brunch & l'essai du souper éventuel. Seul bémol; le pain doré était sec pas assez trempé dans le mélange oeufs lait sinon très enchantée
Food was absolutely delicious & reasonably priced (although that's relative) but great value for the money.
Ambiance is perfect, cool decor, fun music ( not too loud so you don't have to shout at the people across the table).
Service the first time we were there was excellent, second time the waiter was new ( it was only his second shift) so a bit lacking but he was so sweet & let us know that right away.
This is our new go-to in Montreal!!
Ps ( the Bao gels gel is to die for!!)
I'm a huge fan of the food at Shay, so I decided to try their new brunch menu & as expected, it did not disappoint! Everything was delicious (especially the avocado toast). The ambiance, staff?everything there is always 5 star.
Super belle découverte! Le service, l'ambiance & la nourriture étaient parfait(e)s. Moi & ma famille recommandons la place & c'est certain que nous allons être de retour.
Excellent service & ambiance! The food is beautifully presented but lacks in the texture & flavour department compared to other Lebanese cuisine in mtl. Many dishes just fell short of expectation. Fattoush, babaganouj & pita were the stars!
