About

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!

We took brunch at SHAY. The service was very friendly & fast. The food was very tasty & it included a lot of vegetarian options. They had a live DJ which played nice music (not too loud). 100% recommend

We had one night to eat in Montreal & I'm so glad we chose this place! The food was incredible & the service was beyond amazing from the hostess to the servers. Jasper, the bartender, was a gem during his service. The chicken & beef in our dishes were very tender & flavourful & the baklava tiramisu was heavenly. It is pricier, but portions were fair & it was worth it. I look forward to trying the tasting menu next time!

Belle expérience au Shay. Du service à la cuisine, on y retrouve un professionnalisme qu'on ne voit plus beaucoup de nos jours. Notre serveuse était dévouée & avait une parfaite maîtrise de la carte. L'ambiance est zen, autant pour un dîner en couple qu'entre amis. Je recommande.
