Nous avons partagé 5 plats (amplement suffisant!) & tout était savoureux! Très bon service courtois & professionnel. L'ambiance était bonne & on s'entendait parler (chose rare!).
Bon cocktail mais un peu léger (en alcool) pour le prix. La carte des vins (rouges) n'est pas tres originale & les options sous 80$ plutôt limitées.
J'y retournerai certainement!

One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had!

Crunch of the lettuce, firmness of the tomato. Fact that it didn't fall apart after swapping bacon for shawarma. Egg was done perfectly, wasn't hard but wasn't so runny that it went all over the plate & hands.

Un des meilleurs endroit pour bruncher! C'était la première fois que j'y allais & j'ai été très agréablement surprise. Le service est top, la nourriture est impeccable & les prix sont très abordables. Le concept de brunch libanais est incroyable, je n'ai rien a dire c'était parfait. L'endroit est super joli, franchement, j'ai hâte d'y retourner.

Everything was perfect, from the music & ambience to the courteous staff & outstanding food! We had a table of 7 for a birthday dinner & everyone raved about the excellent quality & flavours of the food. We've already book at return visit in February! The one downside was the time limit for the seating... we had to leave before dessert could be ordered, & that was a bit of a bummer. Perhaps an extended time allotment could be given for large groups? Overall 10 on 10 & I'll be recommending Shay to friends & family!
